Never married, no children.

Patrick Henry Callaghan was born in April of 1864, in Alton Illinois.  He was named after his maternal grandfather and maybe after his New Zealander uncle.  Uncle Patrick left him £200 in his will in 1907 because of his name.   
 
Very little is known of Patrick’s life.  After moving to Minnesota when he was one, he seems to have never left his father’s farm.  He never married and had no children.  He was not in the newspapers.  Even his obituary is missing.  He gets one line of mention in his father’s biography in The History of Dakota County (Curtiss-Wedge, 1910):
 
It is worthy of note that the son, Patrick, found in the Vermillion River the largest pair of elk antlers ever seen in this part of the country.  

Patrick died of arterial sclerosis on December 24, 1916, in Farmington and was burried in the family plot in St Agatha's Cemetery.  He was 52 years old.
