Shared note	Bridget was born in Ireland in 1823, came to Canada in 1838, married Thomas Rooney in 1854, and settled in Stearns County in 1867 - BUT, the 1900 census says she came to the U.S. in 1871. That census also says she had 6 kids of which 4 are still alive, and that matches our records. She died of chronic myocarditis with contributory causes of embolism of right knee at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Landwehr, at the age 99. (She's listed with that family in the 1920 census.) She suffered a paralytic stroke about 3 1/2 months before her death. Mrs. Thomas Rooney Mrs. Thomas Rooney, or Grandma Rooney as she was affectionately known by those who knew her, passed away on Tuesday, August 22, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Landwehr, residing two miles south of Sedan. She was at the time of her death more than 99 yrs. old. She had been well until about three and a half months ago when she suffered a paralytic stroke after which she was confined to her bed. Until about four years ago she kept house for her son Thomas. She had been a resident of the community in which she lived for 55 years. She and her husband were some of the very first settlers in this part of Minnesota. Deceased was born in County Mayo Ireland on June 6, 1823. She came to America in 1838 and settled first in Ottawa, Canada. In 1854 she was married to Thomas Rooney, and in 1867 they came to the United States and settled first in the western part of Stearns county. About 32 yrs. ago they removed to Pope county and settled near Sedan. Mr. Rooney died 28 yrs. ago. Following are the surviving children of the deceased: J. P. Rooney, of Glenwood, county commissioner of Pope County, Hugh Rooney and Mrs. Frank Landwehr of Bangor township, and Thomas Rooney, hardware merchant in Sedan. Funeral services were conducted last Thursday at the Catholic Church with interment in Sedan Catholic cemetery. There was a very large attendance at the funeral services and the large number of floral offerings showed how much she was loved and esteemed by those who knew her. A very large delegation from Glenwood attended the obsequies. The Herald joins in expressing sincere sympathy to the bereaved family . WPA Project sponsored by "The Pope County Historical Society." Copied from the August 31, 1922 "Glenwood Herald" on May 16, 1939.
