    3. I have little information on this person and am looking for information to triangulate from. His death certificate is for "Edward O'Brien" who died in NYC on May 30, 1900, was married, and was buried at Calvary cemetery on June 2, 1900. This is the true date for his death according to family history although we know him as Edwin. He was married to Ellen Donovan on June 8, 1886 in Morris MN according to newspaper and Church records in Morris MN. He is listed as being born in Ireland, County Cork, and living in Ortonville, MN. Declaration for citizenship is filed in Stevens County MN on July 9, 1884. This declaration indicates that Edwin Patrick came to US via Port Huron from Canada in Oct 1883. His Mother is listed as Elizabeth Alcock according to family history. His Father, John is said to have had 2 wives, the other being Francis Stevens. According to the book, "History of Stevens County", by Edna Mae Busch, P.A, McCarthy, M.R. McCarthy and E.P. O'Brien incorporated their business, "Stevens Co. Abstract and Real Estate Agency in Morris MN. Over aperiod of 7-8 years there are many land sales via this agency dontaining E. P and his wife Ellen (Nellie). They had 6 children, John, Gertrude, Edward, Grace, May (Mary), and Jeremiah Joseph who went by Joseph and was a Chiropracter in New York. The son Edward was a captain of a NYC Fire Department in the 1940's but I aqmnot able to find any inforamtion for him either although it is said his son, also Edward was also a New York City Fire captain.
