Biography from P. A. Mullens, Creighton: Biographical Sketches of Edward Creighton, John A. Creighton, Mary Lucretia Creighton, Sarah Emily Creighton (Omaha: Creighton University, 1901), pp. 6-7.
Mrs. Creighton was a worthy companion and a genuine helpmeet to her husband through the long years of struggle in those olden days of back-woods life in Ohio. The mother of nine children, and mistress of a household whose industry was never blessed with affluence, she had few hours of rest and leisure. Still this good lady found time to look after the instruction of her children in the essential points of Catholic belief, and she early trained them to practices of piety, which remained with them through life. It was mainly at her solicitations that Mr. Creighton moved them from Belmont County to Licking County; and her motive in suggesting the change of residence was chiefly religious.
She wished to be near the mission church which the Dominican Fathers had established at Somerset – some twelve miles distant from the place in which Mr. Creighton finally settled. She had known instances of perversion among her neighbors, she had seen how the sons and daughters of good Catholics had forgotten the value of the Faith, transmitted through long lines of ancestors, who had even suffered persecution for conscience’ sake, and she was solicitous that the precious boon which she had received from far distant kindred in her dear native Ireland, should be honored and preserved by her sons and daughters as their most valued inheritance. Patient in adversity, industrious in poverty, pains-taking in the religious up-bringing of her children, gentle always and kind, she was a type of the good, Irish-Catholic wife and mother, whose life, simple and retired, but full of virtuous deeds is too little known and, alas! too little appreciated. Mrs. Creighton died in November, 1854, at Springfield, Ohio, where she had taken up residence after the death of her husband. Her remains lie buried in Somerset, Perry County, Ohio, beside those of her husband.
