Arlington Enterprise
Thursday 6 July 1905

AN AGED RESIDENT OF JESSENLAND DEAD
One of the Oldest Residents of Jessenland township called to his last
reward.
	Chas Tierney an aged and respected citizen of Jessenland township 
has answered the last roll call.  He was born in County Mayo, Ireland 
in 1821 and came to this country in 1849.
	Upon his arrival in this country he settled in Allegheny, Penn., 
at which place he remained two years when he went to Wheeling, W.Va.,
where he resided a short time and then came to St. Paul, Minn., where 
he made his home for about three years, when he removed to Jessenland 
township at which place he resided up to the time of his death.
	In 1847 he took unto himself a life partner by the name of 
Katherine Welch and the result was ten children born, 9 of who are 
living as follows: Patrick, Chas and Michael of St. Paul, John Edward, 
Mrs. Gallagher and Mrs. Young of Minneapolis, and and Mrs. Wm. Burk and 
James Tierney of Jessenland.
	The funeral services was conducted at the family home after 
which Requiem mass was celebrated at the church by Rev. Fr. Joy, after 
which the remains were interred in the Jessenland cemetery.
	The six sons acted as pall bearers whose names are given above.
	The Enterprise extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved 
relatives and friends.
