There is some confusion as to whether Patrick is the second child or third child. This is due to his sister, Mary Tobin, having discrepancies in her birth year. I believe Patrick was the second born child due to Mary's birth date listed on her christening certificate of 31 Aug 1885, even though Mary's death certificate and headstone state a birth year of 1882 [see Mary's info page].
At the age of 14, Patrick was helping some men herd sheep up at the Tobin ranch at Birdseye and he was thrown from his horse and suffered a broken neck and died on 7 November 1897. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery, Helena, Lewis and Clark, Montana.

RESEARCH NOTES:
 |
Patrick Tobin christened 30 Sep 1883 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fargo, North Dakota. NOTE: father is Richard Tobin and mother is listed as Mary RICKETTS. Patrick's birth date is listed as 3 Sep 1883 in an unknown city. A special thanks to Benda Neuenswander for this document. According to Benda Neuenswander's notes, Patrick Tobin's burial occurred on 9 Nov 1897 at the "Catholic Cemetery, Block 4, Lot 47." Flaherty Funeral Home handled his body, and his birth is listed as being in Fargo, North Dakota. NOTE: He is not buried in the family plot with mom and dad, sister Mary, and brother Joseph. Benda remembers hearing a story around 1970 that Patrick's burial plot was accidently covered with cement during a construction project when the cemetery was first being developed. Resurrection Cemetery is believed to be his internment. |
