He was married to Kathryn Clery at Nebraska City in 1876, of which union ten children were born, six of whom with the widow survive, two girls, Josephine of Pierre, South Dakota, and Marie, and four boys, Edward, Frank, John and Charles; he also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Kate O'Brien, who is here to attend the funeral and Mrs. Peter Berger, both of Nebraska City, the latter is too sick to come. Mr. Houlihan moved to Red Willow county in 1884 and they have lived here ever since. He was a good father and neighbor, and leaves many friends to mourn his sudden death.
