Edward Mulroney Dead.

His Remains Brought to This City Sunday.

Saturday afternoon news of the death of Edward Mulroney, Sr., of Estherville, was received in this city. He had been ailing for some time. A couple of years ago he went to California to see his son and brother, thinking that the change of climate might benefit him, but he returned last summer. His case was hopeless and he gradually lost strength until death relieved him of his affliction. His remains were brought to this city on a special train Sunday for burial. Two coaches filled with Estherville people accompanied the family of the deceased. The body was interred in the Catholic cemetery at this place. Three sons and one daughter survive. The latter, Mrs. Rae, of Estherville, was dangerously ill at the time of the funeral. One brother resides in California, one at Ft. Dodge and three south of this city. His wife died ten or twelve years ago. He was in the neighborhood of 68 years of age.

Although well known to most of the old settlers of this section, the deceased was never a resident of Palo Alto. Twenty-three years ago he returned from California with his brother Joseph and John Laughlin and soon after settled on a large farm near Mud Lake, Emmet county. He made a good home and was comfortably situated. A few years ago he moved to Estherville, where he made his permanent home until the time of his death. He was a good citizen and his death will be regretted by the many who knew him.
