-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Edward Sheehy was born in Salem, Mass., Sept. 11, 1847. He was married to Ellen Murphy, July 17, 1870, at Prairie du Chien, Wis. Was a Postville resident for 38 years. Moved to Minneapolis in October 1905. He had been sick for more than a year, and last January submitted to two serious operatioons at Fairview Hospital. He died at his home, 5131, 39th Avenue, July 1st, in his 69th year. The funeral was held from St. Helena's church, Tuesday morning July 3, at nine o'clock, Rev. O. J. Rowan officiating. Interment at St. Mary's cemetery.

This in brief is the life story of a kindly, genial man, whose jovial disposition and companionable ways drew about him a wide circle of friends, who will sorrowfully learn of his passing and sincerely sympathize with those who so keenly morn his loss.

He is survived by his wife and six children--John E. of Grand Forks, N.D.; Mame of Minneapolis; Frank of Chippewa Falls, Wis.; Mrs. Mabel Williams of Minneapolis; Leo of International Falls, Minn.; Mrs. Marie Hoquet of Blue Island, Ill. The children were all present at the funeral except Marie, who is very sick at St. Francis hospital in Blue Island.
