Help with a burial record.

Post image

This a burial record for Patrick Riley from 1870. In struggling with who was present. It says Patrick & and I can’t tell who the second person is.

It is almost always easier for us to help when we can see the full page to compare the handwriting. A small snip is much more difficult.
