Famous Turfman Buried Here
Pat Grogan, for many years a figure on American race tracks, who died in St. Louis on Thursday of last week, was buried in the new cemetery in this city Monday afternoon. The burial was from the afternoon train. A short service was conducted at the grave by Rev. Fr. Gilfillen, of Jefferson City. Funeral services were held in St. Louis early Monday morning.
He was born near St. Catharine, Ontario, and ran away from home when he was fifteen years old, going to St. Louis. He spent eight years in that city, and in 1869 came to Fulton. Here he met Miss Sarah Ellen Carter, daughter of John G. Carter, at this city, whom he married the following year. He then moved to Sturgeon, Boone county, where he trained "Jennie Crews", a race mare that became famous at Missouri fairs. In 1882 he went to St. Louis and became trainer for J.D. Patton, the foremost Missouri turfman of his day. He made almost a national reputation while with Patton as the trainer of "Ethel Gray", one of the best mares ever on the American turf. Later he went into the racing business on his own account but was not successful. His later years were spent in St. Louis. He is survived by his wife, two sons and five daughters.
