It is believed she was born in Roscommon, but that is not proved.

Known as Delia and Bedelia and Bridget in most records, she passed as Bridget.

Married to Michael John Fallon, they raised 11 children, all born in the United States. Unable to account for their immigration, Michael a rail road construction employee moved around a lot, which accounts for some children being born in Vermont and New Hampshire, but most were born in New York. The family can be seen in the U.S. as early as the 1850 census in Bliss, Wyoming, N.Y.

But, by the 1870's the entire family unit, except one son Michael, picked up and moved to the Cherry Valley, Ashtabula, Ohio area where "Bedelia" purchased property. By 1881 all the family units picked up again and moved to Graceville, MN. Here the majority remained though they had residences also in Wheaton and Walls.

It was in possibly in Walls Township or more likely Wheaton where her daughters lived, since her husband predeceased her, that Bridget passed.

According to her 'informants', daug Lenora Randall and son P.L. she did pass in Traverse County, aged 77.

She is buried beside her beloved and amid many other family members.
