Shared note

Thomas died at age 66 of heart trouble.

Ellen's grandfather John on the Avon Rooney side, given his date of birth and now in 2017 two instances of DNA matches on Ancestry (including one between David Gaffaney and Andrew Minzghor, who would be a 5C1R), was very probably a brother to Michael Rooney on the Padua Rooney side, making Ellen and her husband Thomas second cousins. That was a stated assumption among the relatives of long ago.

Tom Rooney stuttered except when he swore. He always smoke a pipe. Someone gave him a cigarette, and not being accustomed to it he left it to burn in his mouth. When it got short enough it started burning his whiskers. He said, "Damn your cigarettes!" and never touched another.

Originally published August 1998, Padua Cemetery, by Ginny Walz Borgerding

Thomas T. Rooney was born Jan 5, 1859 in Canada, the son of John and Mary (McCool) Rooney. He was ninth child of twelve children.

Ellen (Ellie) Rooney was born October 26, 1872, the daughter of William and Bridget (Hartigan) Rooney, of Avon, MN.

Thomas married Ellie and they had the following children:
Agatha - married Henry Murphy and had three children
Bridget Stella - married Frank Cowen
Clarinda - married Andrew Murphy
William Ryan - adopted son, married Mary Raden
William Joseph - died as an infant
Ellen - died as an infant

Ellie died on June 22, 1902 from blood poisoning (bacterial infection), according to church records.

In 1903 Thomas T. married Anna Murphy, the daughter of Bernard and Honora Murphy.

Thomas T. died on November 28, 1925 from heart disease? as best deciphered from church records.

Ellie, Wm Jos, and Ellen are listed on the tombstone with Thomas R. listed on the grave marker beside them.

Thomas T.'s second wife Anna Murphy Rooney, parents, brothers Michael J., James, William, and sisters Catherine Martin, MaryAnn Egan, Elizabeth Egan, grandmother Catharine Rooney, and many other relatives are buried in Padua
