Patrick Shannon.
As will be seen in another column, Mr. Patrick Shannon has been called away from this earth to meet his God. Mr. Shannon was one of best and oldest citizens, and leaves thousands of friends who will regret his demise. Patrick Shannon is one of three brothers, Patrick, John and Phillip. They came to Kansas City before Main street was cut through from the levee. They opened out the first large dry goods store in Kansas City, and for many years carried on an extensive trade at their stand at the corner of Main and Levee. Their name is familiar to all the first settlers of Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico and Colorado. Their trade with the territories was very large up to the breaking out of the war. All of the three brothers are dead. All died beloved and respected, and have left clear, untarnished names behind them. Patrick Shannon was elected Mayor of Kansas City in 1865, and served until 1866. He was for some time a Councilman, and was a Major of militia during the war. He was a member of the several Irish societies of this city and was for many years the leader of his countrymen and party in the city. Liberal to the heart, just in principle, friendly and kind to all, he has died having the good will of all men. The friends of the deceased are specially invited to attend the last rites and ceremonies of interment, which will take place to-day.
