MALONEY, Patrick (Tish), aged 74
The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, 1958-01-17, p.67
Summary
Brief LA Times death notice — fixes the death and last residence of **Patrick "Tish" Maloney**: > MALONEY, Patrick (Tish), aged 74, of 1026 Hoffman Avenue, > Long Beach. Rosary Friday, 8:30 p.m., at St. Matthews Church, > Long Beach. Mass Saturday, 10 a.m. Sheelar-McFadyen, Long > Beach, directors. Tish = **person_tish_maloney_jjm_best_friend** in the archive — JJM's recurring Hennessy's colleague / Sagebrushers 1907 Yellowstone trip cohort / Walkerville Maloughney household (the 1906 Butte directory). Age 74 in Jan 1958 → b. c.1883-84, consistent with the existing 1906-directory-derived reconstruction (Tish was a Hennessy clerk by 1906, would have been ~22). KEY NEW FACTS: - Tish ended up in **Long Beach, California** (same coastal-LA cluster as the family JJM moved to in 1928). - Last residence **1026 Hoffman Avenue, Long Beach**. - Catholic rites — Rosary at **St. Matthews Church, Long Beach** (the notice names no place for the Saturday Mass and no burial place). - Funeral director **Sheelar-McFadyen, Long Beach**. - Death date is on or just before publication: most plausibly **mid-January 1958** (the notice runs Fri 17 Jan 1958; Rosary "Friday" = 17 Jan, Mass "Saturday" = 18 Jan, so death was typically 3-5 days earlier, i.e. ~13-15 January 1958). - The name "Patrick (Tish)" confirms his given name Patrick → nickname "Tish" (consistent with the 1906 directory's "Maloughney Patrick, clk Hennessy's" = Tish).

People
- Patrick "Tish" Maloughney (1883–1958; "Tish Maloney" in print; JJM's best friend by family tradition; Chatham cousin of Aggie Kelly)(as printed: Patrick (Tish) Maloney)role: deceased · family confidence: 75 strong
Tish was JJM's documented Hennessy's colleague and 1907 Sagebrushers Yellowstone-trip companion — strong "collateral direct" connection, though not blood family. The Maloughney/ Maloney spelling drift, the Walkerville Chatham-cousin connection, and the 1906-Butte-directory placement all reinforce identification. fc 75 reflects strong-but-not- blood family-circle membership.

Open questions
- Exact death date — the notice gives Rosary Friday + Mass Saturday; with publication on Fri 17 Jan 1958, death is likely 13-15 Jan 1958. A formal obituary (if any ran in the LA Times or the Butte papers) would pin the exact date.
- Tish's surviving family / widow — the notice is brief and names no survivors. Margaret L. Scully (m. 1909) and any children may be findable from California probate or cemetery records.
- "Long Beach" CA is not yet in vocab/places.yaml. Add place_long_beach_ca when convenient (also relevant to the 1933 Mrs. J.H. Maloney clipping in this archive — a separate family).
