The funeral will be held from the family residence, Thursday morning, at 8:30 o'clock, and from Sts. Peter and Paul's Church at 8 o'clock.
John’s wife, Mrs. Bridget Healy, had died in 1894. John and Bridget’s daughter, Margaret Healy, died on August 10, 1921. Her death record stated that she was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1849, and that she came to the United States in 1852. John, Bridget and Margaret Healy are all buried at the St. Joseph Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio. A lovely cross adorns the top of their tombstone.
