______________________________________________________________"Dennis Moynahan
-----
The funeral of the late Dennis Moynahan was held this morning from the Catholic Church. Mr. Moynahan was a member of the B. of L. F. and members of that order acted as pall bearers.Dennis Mohynahan was born in the County of Cork, Ireland, in 1850. He came to Boston, Mass, in 1865 and resided there until he entered the U.S. army enlisting in Co. K 5th Cavalry, under Gen. Merrit. While in the service he saw considerable of the Indian troubles in the early settlement of this western country and was in the battle when Col. Cody captured the noted Indian chief Yellow Head. In January, 1881, he entered the employ of the Union Pacific at North Platte and continued in their employ until Dec. 1st, 1903, when he quit and went to Bisbee, Ariz., and went to work for the Copper Queen Mining Co. He continued working for that company until stricken with an attack of pneumonia which caused his death on the 24th of February, his wife arriving there twenty four hours before his death. He was the oldest and last of a family of eleven children. He was married to Miss Fanny Dolson, Feb. 23rd, 1886 at Council Bluffs, Ia. Ten children were born to them of which four boys and three girls are living.

______________________________________________________________Moynahan Was An Indian Fighter
(spelled "Monyhan" in this article)Dennis Moynahan whose funeral occurred today, was a member of the Fifth United States Cavalry at a time when that regiment was famous as Indian fighters and the pride of the army. Moynahan was with the regiment in all the memorable Indian campaigns of 1875, 1876, and 1877 and could tell many hair-raising but actual experiences of the warfare.
Moynahan was with the Fifth in the Merritt campaign against the Uncomphrages (?) on the Cimarron river in 1875, which resulted in a lively brush and a following subjagation of those Indians. In the spring of 1876 the regiment had a battle royal with the Cheyennes at Hat Creek. It was in this fight that colonel Cody killed the famous chief Yellow Hand. Later in 1876 the Fifth took part in the General Cook expedition against the warriors of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, in which two fierce fights occurred at Rosebud and Slim Butte. During this campaign Moynahan was one of the men who was surrounded by Indians, cut off from supplies and for seventeen days were forced to subsist on horse flesh.
In 1877 the Fifth was in the expedition against the Nez Perces, whihc resulted in the capture of Chief Joseph and the making of many "good Indians." The Fifth also participated in the wonderful forced march to the White River reservation at the time of the Ute uprising, and in which Genl. Meeker and members of his family were massacred. This forced march was considered one of the most notable occurrences of the many expeditions against the red men.
In these memorable campaigns, Moynahan served his country faithfully, bravely and uncomplainingly, and his experiences would have made an interesting book.
Conductor S.C. Mecomber was also a member of the Fifth and we believe took part in nearly all, if not all these campaigns, and there are a number of other North Platte men who were members during part of the time in which the regiment well earned its record as the greatest Indian fighting organization in the whole army.
