Coleraine Albion 24-10-1909

Yesterday morning an old family of the district suffered a reduction of its members when Patrick, 5th son of Mr. Daniel Kane, of Salt Pans Rd. succumbed to a complaint (T.B.) from which he had suffered for a considerable time.  Early in the year Mr. Patrick Kane spent 3 months in a sanatorium during which time he showed improvement.  Those who knew him easily recognized the traces of the invalid.  Last Thursday he was in Coleraine and called on his brother Daniel, remarking on leaving that he might call again on Saturday if he felt well enough.  He passed away 3:00 Sunday morning
