Sweeney, Edmund Patrick FORMER CHASE COUNTY MAN DIES IN MONTANA
J. D. McDowell, of Hardin, Montana, has sent to the Leader, a clipping from the Hardin Tribune-Herald, telling of the death of E. P Sweeney, formerly of this county.
It was in the late seventies that he lived here, and he was married here in 1880. He will be remembered by many of the older residents of the county. The following obituary is taken from the Hardin Tribune-Herald:
"Edmund Patrick Sweeney was born in England June 24, 1859, and when 15 years of age, unaccompanied, came to the United States, living in New Jersey, Tennessee and later in Kansas, where he managed a stock ranch with headquarters at Strong City where, in 1880 he was married to Miss Regina Brecht.
After their marriage they lived for a time in the state of Washington, coming to Montana in 1906, and homesteading in the Big Horn valley, 11 miles north of Hardin, where they resided several years.
In 1914, Mr Sweeney entered the employ on the Northern Pacific railroad and until five years operated a pump station at the gravel pit at Edgar in Carbon county retiring in 1930 and with Mrs. Sweeney taking up his residence in Billings, which has since been his home.
Besides the widow he is survived by six children, namely: Mrs. Charles T. Palmer, of Shamrock, Texas; Mrs. D. C. Hilton, Livingston; A. C. Sweeney, Hardin; Peter J. Sweeney, Little Rock, Arkansas, and E. H. Sweeney, Wilton, N. D. Another daughter, Mrs. William Bell, died a year ago at Broadus."
