Rooney Family Tree

Henry is not the son of Dennis Egan, though he's living with them Dennis and Mary Ann in 1905. The 1910 census indicates that Dennis and Mary Ann had one child who died. He is probably one of the "orphan train" adoptees, as were Mary and Eleanor.

Henry is living in North Fork Township, Stearns County with his wife and infant son in 1920. In the 1930 census they (along with a second son and a boarder) are living in Raymond Township, Stearns county. In the 1940 census, his wife is a widow.
