Rooney died at the poor farm north of Burlington on Sunday morning, August 2nd, at nine o'clock, of consumption and was buried at Le Roy Monday. Undertaker D. W. Sanders brought the body down from Burlington.R. J. Rooney was 68 years old. He was born in Boone county, Illinois and came to Kansas in 1862 with his parents. They located on a farm near Aliceville. A few years later he married a daughter of Alex. Stewart but she died shortly afterward. In February 1880 he came to Le Roy and went into the real estate business, remaining here for about seven years. From that time up to his disability by paralysis some few years ago, he was in the real estate business in several towns. For several years before and after 1904 he was in business in Aliceville and sold a number of farms while there. For sometime before his death he had been making his home with his brother-in-law, Abel Jones of near Aliceville, but the danger from his malady was so great for the children around the house that it became necessary for him to be taken to the poor farm just a week before his death.Hardly any of his old-time friends knew that he had been admitted to the poor farm. The last time the writer saw him was in Le Roy on Decoration day of this year and at that time he was afflicted with a dreadful cough--the harbinger of his death. Peace to his ashes. ************ Although the obituary says he came from Boone County, Illinois, all other records show he was born in Pennsylvania. These records include, but are not limited to, the 1865 Kansas States Census and the 1900 United States Census. Contributor: Beth R Clayson (48397049) •
