4. PATRICK² NAGLE (ARTHUR N.¹) was born 1830 in County Cork, Ireland, and died October 15, 1862 in Middletown, Connecticut.

Notes for PATRICK NAGLE:
-Served in the 24th Connecticut Infantry during the Civil War. It appears he died during the war as his name is inscribed on the Westfield Civil War Dead monument.
-The pension records contain letters supporting Patrick's mother Ellen in her request for benefits from the government. Ellen was finally awarded 8 dollars a month in 1868 after three years of legal maneuvering. The letters were written by Rufus Baker, the doctor who treated Patrick during his illness; Patrick Gilmore of Chicago, who was the Captain of Patrick's company; William Calman who was his landlord for a few years; Thomas Harrigan, a family friend who knew the family in Ireland and Westfield, as well as William and Elizabeth Mulcahy, who also knew the Nagels in Ireland and Westfield.
William states he knew Patrick's father Arthur, or "Atty" Nagle while living in Rathcormack, County Cork, Ireland. He also states that Arthur died around 1835 or 1836 and that he was attending school at Arthur Nagle's house at the time of Arthur's death, which was in the fall of the year.
The records also show that Arthur and Ellen were married in February of 1821 by Rev. Patrick Shean. They had seven children; Patrick, Katy (Michael Barry's wife), Elizabeth (Michael Barry's brother John's wife), Thomas, Michael, James and John. Only the two girls were still alive in 1865. Michael died in 1855 in Westfield. The fate of the others is unknown.

Patrick came to America around 1852. He worked on local farms until he earned enough money to send for his mother. About 1857, he traveled to Springfield to send the money for Ellen's passage. She arrived a few months later. Upon arrival, Patrick was her sole supporter. They lived for about three years in a tenement owned by Calman that cost 24 dollars a year. He then built a small house on land bought from James Moseley where he lived for a time with his mother and sister. Often though, he worked by the day, or sometimes the month, for local farmers and stayed at the employer's residence, though still supported his mother by providing "provisions and wood."
Ellen's only source of income for was her working part-time braiding whips at home. Prior to enlisting, Patrick paid several months rent for his mother in advance.
Patrick enlisted on September 19th, 1862 and was assigned to Company K of the 24th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers of the Union Army. He recorded his residence as New Haven, Connecticut. His name does not appear on any muster rolls since he died before the company was mustered. While encamped in Middletown, Connecticut, Patrick became sick around October 9th and was moved to a local boarding house. He died six days later of typhoid pneumonia, as attested by Dr. Baker. He was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Westfield.

Child of PATRICK NAGLE is:

PATRICK³ NAGLE, b. July 10, 1859, Westfield, Massachusetts; d. 1927, Westfield, Massachusetts; m. CATHERINE "KATTIE" GEEHERNE, January 12, 1882, Westfield, Massachusetts.
