Snelling in 1865, born in Galway according to the war record.

James's naturalization record is in the Pope County courthouse, dated March 29, 1897 and witnessed by Thomas J. Rooney and Joseph C. Egan.

James Rooney was born April 29, 1848, in Canada, the son of John and Mary (McCool) Rooney. He was the fourth child of twelve children. James married Anna (Annie) Egan and they farmed just west of Padua, on the farm owned by Bob Streff in 1976. The big brick house, that still stands today on the farm, was built by James in 1911.

James and Anna had seven children:
Mary Ellen - became Sister Eucebia, a Benedictine nun at Atckinson, KA and is buried in Kansas.
John Charles - John went by the name Charles. He married Elizabeth Schaefer and had seven children. Charles is buried in Sedan.
James Dennis - married Anabel Glieden and had on child. They are buried at Tower, MN where their son still lives.
Martha Ann - married John Jung and had three children.
George - never married, railroad conductor Mpls Railway.
Lavina - married Glen Taylor, had three children and they are buried in Belgrade, MN.
Emily Frances - died as a child, buried in Padua.

Annie died on March 23, 1914. She had a heart condition and died from complications. James continued to farm until 1919 when he sold the farm and moved to Brooten. James died on June 10, 1926 from a stroke. After his death, sometime in the 1920's, his estate received the farm back at Padua. It was resold again.

Annie's brother Dennis Egan was married to James' sister, Mary Rooney.

James and Annie's children, George, Martha Ann Young, Emily Frances, and granddaughter Marvel Lucile Rooney are buried in Padua. James' parents, brothers and sisters Catherine Martin, Michael J., Thomas T., William, Mary Egan, Elizabeth Egan, and Annie's brother Dennis Egan are all buried in Padua.
