Mary Minahan Chilton Times July 27, 1902
Two weeks ago we published a brief notice of the death of Mrs. Mary Minahan. Meager data at that time made a more extended notice impossible. Mrs. Minahan's maiden name was Mary Shanasy.(sic) (Shaughnessy) She was a native of Ireland, born near the city of Limerick, and came to America with her parents when but a little girl in 1852, living at first for a couple years in Eastern Pennsylvania, going from there to Wellsville in western New York and later to Almond, near there, where she made the acquaintance of and was married to Wm. B. Minahan on the 4th of January 1857. In the fall of 1859 Mr. Minahan and his wife came to Wisconsin to the home of Mr. M's father who a few years before had settled in the town of Russell, Sheboygan county, and began to hew out a home in the wilderness. The next year, Mr. Minahan erected a log house on a forty-acre tract owned by his father in the town of New Holstein near St. Anna. Living here about a year, Mr. M and his wife moved to Oshkosh in a couple of years. In the spring of 1864 they crossed they crossed lake Winnebago in a sailboat and began living on a farm in the town of Charlestown this county which had been bout by Mr. M's bother, John. From there Mr. Minahan and wife moved in May 1866 to a farm long owned by them near Stonybrook, in the town of Chilton, where nearly all of their large family of children were born and reared. They left the farm and moved to this city in the fall of 1881, remaining here until the spring of 1885 when they moved to Oshkosh to avail themselves of the educational advantages of the state normal school.
From Oshkosh Mrs. Minahan went to Green Bay in the spring of 1896 to keep house for her son, Dr. J. R. Two years later while walking on the street she fell under a stroke of paralysis. From this she appeared to gradually rally but never to complete recovery. For nearly two years she has been confined to her room and the principal part of the time to her bed. She was constantly attended to by a trained nurse and lacked nothing that could be procured to ease her unavoidable condition.
Nearly all of her children visited her daily and her husband visited her often. Nothing which medical science could do to relieve her was omitted. The kind and constant attention of her family and friends attest the esteem and affectionate regard in which she was held by all.
She leaves a husband and ten children to mourn her departure. She died on the evening of July 4th at the age of sixty-three and was buried at Alouez cemetery, Green Bay
