When news of the death of Thomas A. Healey was received in Seward last Friday morning, his many friends were shocked at the sudden summons.
Mr. Healey had been on a trip to Texas, and was suffering from a cold when he left home, which resulted in pneumonia and his death at Lincoln last Friday morning, in a hospital in that city, before he could reach home.
Thomas A. Healey was one of the best known citizens of Seward county. He was born on July 7, 1842, at Montreal, Canada, and died at Lincoln, Neb., January 14, 1910. When but a child Mr. Healey went with his parents to Kenosha, Wisconsin Territory, where he received his education in a log cabin of that frontier settlement. While only a lad, in 1861, he enlisted in the First Wisconsin Cavalry, and while his regiment was making a wild charge at L'Anguille, Arkansas he received a serious wound in both hip and arm, and on that field of carnage the boy lay sweltering in his blood until recovered by the boys in his regiment when he was sent to the Memphis hospital. Near the end of 1862 he was discharged and sent home. In 1864 he was elected sheriff of Kenosha county and served two years. In 1866 he made an overland trip to Seward county and located in N precinct, 9 miles west of Milford.
Mr. Healey was married to Miss Kate M. Bundy of Kenosha Wisconsin in 1865, who together with one son, Leslie J., of Omaha survive him.
In 1870 Mr. Healey was appointed as deputy county clerk, and in 1876 was elected to the legislature by a large majority and served the county well. He was admitted to the bar by Judge Bates, and has been engaged in the practice of law and insurance and real estate business for many years. He was also appointed postmaster of Milford by President Grant in 1873, and again by President McKinley in 1898.
Mr. Healey was a generous minded, wide-awake, enterprising and valuable citizen, and has done much in the development and advancement of Milford and the county and will be greatly missed by his friends and neighbors who enjoyed his staunch friendship.
Funeral services were conducted from the M. E. church at Milford on Sunday afternoon by Rev. Presson, assisted by the Masonic fraternity and Odd Fellows of which orders the deceased was a valued member. Interment was made in the Milford cemetery.
About 25 Seward friends attended the funeral.
