• Michael Honan of Danbury, proprietor of Honan Funeral Home Interviewed by Robert Leo Ashton Jr.
• The Newtown Bee (Newtown, Fairfield, Connecticut, 13 FEB 1929) There was an exciting time at the home of Michael Honan in Taunton last Saturday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, when Mr Honan and family awoke and found their chimney was all ablaze. The neighbors were quickly aroused and responded promptly, and for an hour and a half had a hard fight to save the house. Two bucket brigades were formed and after about an hour and a half had the fire all out. Interview with John Patrick Honan, recall talking with my grandfather John Patrick Honan. He told me about fighting a chimney fire with a bucket brigade at his home. He burned his arms in the process.:
