ROBT. McELDOWNEY DEAD
Old-Time Resident of Bloom Passes at Morgan Park—Much Beloved by All
Robert McEldowney, husband of Esther Caskey McEldowney, and father of Mrs. A. D. O. Browere of Morgan Park and George R. McEldowney of Philadelphia, died at the home, 11316 S. Irving avenue, Morgan Park, Friday, Oct. 4, 1918, of angina pectoris. For two weeks he had not been in as good health as usual, but his data came suddenly and most unexpectedly.
Besides the daughter and son mentioned above, he leaves a son-in-law, A. D. O. Browere, who left last May for Y. M. C. A work in France, and two grandsons, Kenneth A. Browere and Richard L. McEldowney; also two brothers, James McEldowney of Oklahoma City and Walter McEldowney of Chicago, and a sister, Mrs. Frank Thorn, of St. Paul, Minn.
Mr. McEldowney was born in the village of Bloom, now Chicago Heights, in 1852, and moved with his father’s family to Englewood about 1875. The greater part of his life had been spent there, but for several years he had lived in Morgan Park, enjoying the suburban life and the society of congenial friends and neighbors.
The years of 1895 and 1896 were spent in Duluth as Y. M. C. A. secretary.
His religion was a matter of daily life with him and was expressed in his happy, hopeful, cheerful disposition. Many of his friends knew him as “Sunshine Bob,” the name given to him by his Y. M. C. A. friends. He was deeply interested in the Pacific Garden Mission and spent many Sundays and evenings there.
Being gifted with a love of music and a sweet persuasive voice, he was able to serve his Master most effectually with this talent.
He leaves a wide circle of true friends who sincerely mourn his going, but rejoice that he has now the unspeakable happiness of singing with the heavenly choir.
