HYLAND/McCARTHY FAMILY OBITS and NOTES

Dakota County Tribune of Feb 21 1883
Thomas Hyland was so severely injured by the keeper of the Snelling House in St. Paul last week, that he died from the effects of wounds at his home on Thursday morning last. Hyland had been employed for some time as a street car driver and had gone into the Rhodes place for a glass of beer. While there an altercation took place during which it is alleged that the young man was brutally pounded by Rhodes or his wife, while one of them held him. Rhodes was committed on the charge of man-slaughter. The remains of Hyland were buried at Rosemount. Accounts represent him as generally a quiet and inoffensive person. Rhodes gives a plausible story of how the trouble took place, claiming to have been shot at by Hyland at the commencement of the row. The evidence seems very contradictory. Hyland had disease of the heart and the blows received would hardly cause his death.

He was a native of the County Mayo, Ireland, and came to this country in 1857, settling in this county where he remained until eight years ago when he went to St. Paul where he has since led a retired life.

The horse as well as the shafts of the wagon struck Mr. Hyland who was picked up in an unconscious condition. Since then he has been a constant sufferer.

Pat McCarthy of Hancock, MN was shaking hands with old friends here (Rosemount) Sunday. He was here attending the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Maurice Walsh.

FROM http://members.aol.com/baggerjane/highland/moreon/sherid-h.htm:
Frank (FrancisHyland) was born in Mayo Co. Ireland and emigrated to the U.S in 1848. He settled somewhere in N.Y. where he married Mary. Mary was born in Killmaine Co.Mayo and settled in Saratoga N.Y.. There does not appear to be a direct relationship between these Hyland families prior to this marriage although, they may be distant cousins. (It is worth noting that although family tradition assigns Mary to the Hyland family, a death record for their daughter Bridget lists her maiden name as Fahey. No explanation is currently available). After the birth of their first child, the family moved to a farm in Burnsville Twp. where they remained for about six years. The family later moved to a farm in Empire Twp where they raised their children.

Obituary of Dakota County Breeze of Sept. 22, 1905
   On Thursday morning Sept. 14, 1905, the sad news of the death of Edward Hyland of this place, who died at the home of his daughter in St. Paul, east a gloom o'er the entire community. Mr. Hyland and family had spent a few months during the summer at their farm home in this city, when Mr. Hyland took to his bed and despite the best medical car and attendance he passed away, fortified by the beauiful rites of the Catholic Church, to meet his Creator whom he had served through life.
      The brief illness but little prepared his family for such a termination and the news of his death brought sorrow not onky to his family, but to a host of friends and acquaintances, who had known him through life.
      He was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in the year 1836, and came to this country when but fourteen years of age, and had been a resident of Dakota county since 1857. He was one of the most prosperous and successful farmers and has left his family well provided for, with a comfortable farm in this town and a fine residence in the city of St. Paul.
      His buoyant and happy disposition, with gayety of spirit, endeared him to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a good neighbor, a true friend, a kind husband and a loving father. The writer having known Mr. Hyland for nearly fifty years, can cheerfully testify to his many kind acts and generous donations to his church and other causes, when called on to assist the poor in any way. He was always ready to donate in a liberal manner. In his death Rosemount has lost a man worthy of esteem who will be sadly missed in his home and family circle. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and grown family of three sons and three daughters, Daniel Hyland of Bandette, Minn., John L. of Winnepeg, and E. J. of Rosemount, Mrs. H. Roach of Minot, N.D., Mrs. P.J. Blessner and Miss Maggie of St. Paul. All have the sympathy of the entire community.
      His remains were brought to his Rosemount home on Friday evening and the funeral was held from St. Joseph's Church on Saturday, the 16th, and was in charge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Rosemount of which Mr. Hyland was an honorary member. About eighty members marched in line, and the following members acted as pall bearers: John Farrell, John Cahill, J.L. Moran, T. J. Mangan Jr., P.H. McCarthy, John Hagney, J. F. Geraghty, and F.A. Gollon, were the active bearers. The honorary pall bearers were as follows: James Tierney, Thomas Mangan, Frank Garry, M. O'Rourke, Dennis Hogan, James Johnston, Dan Delaney, and T.E. Devitt, all members of Div Fo 2 A O H of Dakota County.
       The floral offerings with which the casket was laden, bore mute testimony of the love and respect of his many friends.
      Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Moore, assisted by Rev. Father Egan of Lakeville, and Rev. Father McCall of St. Paul.
      After the ceremonies the remains were followed to the cemetary by a large procession of mourning friends.

KILLED BY FALL
Will Hyland Falls From Third Story Window in St. Paul and is Killed
WAS WALKING IN SLEEP
Was Trusted Employee of Great Northern Railway    The vicinity of Rosemount was shocked Saturday when word reached here from St. Paul that Will Hyland was dead. His death came from falling from a third story window where he was sleeping, the night before.
       How the accident occurred probably will never be known, but it is supposed he was in a somnambulistic state when he fell.
       Not long ago he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, from which he has never fully recovered, leaving his sleep in a disturbed condition. Not long ago he awoke to find himself in the bathroom, and it is known he had spells of walking in his sleep. He was a locomotive engineer and had secured a layoff and was planning on going fishing on Saturday, and no doubt he had risen in his sleep to carry out his plans when he fell from the window and was killed.
       Will Hyland was born near Rosemount about 43 years ago and was one of the best men. He was an honorable citizen, a loving son, and brother and leaves this world with many friends, to mourn his untimely death.

LAKEVILLE FARMER KILLED WHEN GUN FALLS, EXPLODES
James Lynch Meets Tragic Death While Repairing Grain Binder
SHOT, INTENDED FOR HAWK, KILLS FARMER
All Saints Church Crowded at Funeral Services Tuesday     Accidently shot by a shotgun which fell and exploded while he was repairing the grain binder, was the fate of James Lynch, one of Lakeville's pioneer and highly respected citizens Saturday morning of last week. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning in All Saints church, Lakeville, in the presence of one of the largest crowds that ever assembled in that place for a funeral service, Fr. Hart officiated.
    Early in the day, his son James, borrowed a shotgun from the neighors and shot a chicken that had been stealing chickens at the Lynch farm. Knowing that other hawks were in the neighborhood, the gun was left in the machine shed where it could be reached quickly when hawks appeared. The shotgun was leaning against the binder and was evidently not noticed by the senior Mr. Lunch who had been repairing the binder the day before and Saturday morning.
    When he moved the binder slightly to place the pole in position, the gun fell and exploded, the shot striking him just above the right ear.
    His daughter, Nellie, who heard the shot, ran to the barn and found her father dying. Death occured an hour later.
    The death of this pioneer citizen was a stunning blow to the family and a wide circle of friends.
    James J. Lynch, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Lynch, was born in the township of Lakeville, Feb. 10, 1858. He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Hyland, of Rosemount, on Nov. 6, 1883. To this union three daughters were born, Nellie, Olive, and Irene, the latter deceased; eight sons, Thomas F., Joseph C., Eugene E., Timothy, Raymond W., James W., Edward C., and Leo F. Mr. Lynch was a member of the Catholic Foresters under whose auspices the funeral was conducted Tuesday.
    The pallbearers were: M.J. Lenihan, Wm. Hickey, Mike Deegan, P.H. Feely, Peter Sauber and D.H. Rowan.
    Relatives attending the funeral from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan and daughter, Mrs. Barry of Belmont, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Phil Smith and son, Clarence, of Duluth; Mr. and Mrs. John Roche, Mrs. Frank Roche, Clarence Roche and mother, Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and daughter Margaret; Mr. and Mrs. James Finn, Mrs. John Hardy; Mrs. Mordaunt, Peter Lenihan, Miss Lizzie Lenihan, Mr. and Mrs. A.E.

       In the death of this good Christian mother, it is not only her children, brothers and sisters who have suffered a great loss - they grieve not alone - but those of us whose pleasure it has been to have met her during her life time, which was practically spent in this community, and spent trying to do good for others, always forgetting self when opportunity presented itself to do good for others. Her every day was spent doing good for all mankind in the honor and glory of God striving to attain the goal which we have every reason to believe she did attain before God called her to everlasting peace and happiness. Her memory to all who knew her is an incense of beautiful thoughts and kind deeds.

Grocer Here From 1903 to 1919; Sold Realestate Since 1922---Ritesw Largely Attended--Burial In Rosemount     Edward Garvey, prominent real estate dealer in Farmington and a life-long highly respected gentleman of the community, died suddenly at 2:10 Sunday morning, Oct. 22nd from heart trouble, after being ill for three weeks. His death comes as a shock to his family and the entire community; while it was known that he was not in good health, h condition was not considered serious last week.
    Funeral services were very largely attended at the home and at St. Michael's Catholic church, Farmington, Wednesday morning at 9:30 with Rev. Father D.J. Moran officiating. Burial was made in St. Joseph's cemetery, Rosemount in the Garvey plot beside his two sons. Fr. James Furey assisted at the burial service.
    Requiem High Mass was sung by the church choir. Mrs. Elinor Martin sang "Out of the Depths" accompanied at the organ by Sister Regis.
    The active pallbearers were T.J. Feely, William McHugh, E.M. Gerater, R.G. Shirley, Paul Rembold, Jack Sauber. Honorable pallbearers were: D.C. Michel, H.W. Hosmer, A.E. Rietz, Dr. B.I. Cook, Martin Campion, Peter Sauber, Mike Deagan, Elmer Marin, A.L. Gerardy, C.E. Cadwell, J.T. Maloney, Ham Clay Jr.
    Edward Garvey was born August 31, 1868 on the Garvey farm, 3 1/2 miles north of Farmington on highway number 218, the son of Patrick Anthony and Bridget Garvey, nee Hyland. After growing to manhood there he took a business course and worked in St. Paul a few years. On July 1, 1903 he returned to this community and bought an interest in the groce4ry store owned by W.G. Brownell. The store was located where the W.R. Johnson Hardware is now. After eight months, Mr. Garvey bought Mr. Brownell's interest and he continued to conduct business in that place until the spring of 1919, when he sold to Bert Haynes and C.C. Allen.
    The Garvey family then moved to his farm north of town where they lived until 1922, when he entered the real estate business in Farmington which he conducted very successfully ever since, his office being in the north office room of the Phoenix building.
    He was united in marriage with Mrs. Marjorie Bohan, local school teacher from Mankato, at that place on Oct. 23, 1913. To this union six children were born: Edward, Thomas, Richard, Patricia, James and Jerome. Richard died in 1923 and Thomas in 1937. One grandson also survives. Mr. Garvey's father died when he was six years old and his mother died in 1917. Three sisters are also deceased, they are: Ella (Mrs. P.J. Hynes), Margaret (Mrs. Frank Peters), Anna (an infant). Mr. Garvey was the last member of his family.
    Perhaps no one person did more for the upbuilding of his community then Edward Garvey. He spent a great deal of money and time advertising Farmington and its surrounding farm lands. Each year he had hundreds of folders and circular letters printed telling of the rich soil, the natural and business advantages of this community. He especially delighted in selling an old piece of property in Farmington to a good buyer who improved it and made a beauty spot out of an "eye sore"; this he did many times.
    For many years Mr. Garvey struggled against heart trouble which was aggravated by two goiters which were operated on some time ago. Despite this, he was always cheerful, kind and pleasant to his family and his many friends and patrons.
    Mrs. Garvey will continue to conduct his real estate business here for the time being; she will also continue the real estate office down town. Having helped Mr. Garvey a geat deal at times when he was ill, she has had much experience in this business.
    Members of the Knights of Columbus, of which order Mr. Garvey was a member, attended the funeral in a body.
