Your "Prahl" posting to the Le Sueur, MN, List has haunted me for the last two days. I think I have heard the name before, but do not remember where!! Was Al born in the City of Wadena or in Wadena County? Have you contacted the Wadena County Historical Society? They have some good volunteers there that might be able to help you.

If no one else reponds, try Blanche Zellmer, 37514 151st Avenue, Montgomery, MN 56069. She assisted me with some "Bohemian" research in 2001. So I presume she has a pretty good handle on the history of the Bohemians in Montgomery area.

Mr. Sheehan was born in Ireland and was 76 years of age. Fifty years of his time was spent in the United States and forty of these in Le Sueur county. He formerly lived near St. Thomas where his wife and only child died and were buried. About five years ago it was found necessary to remove one of Mr. Sheehan's legs on account of a diseased bone. Since then he has lived with the Little Sisters in St. Paul and judging from an occasional visit here, he enjoyed the home they gave him. His last illness has been about three months duration. The remains were brought here Wednesday noon and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Edelkam. The funeral services will be held at the Catholic church this morning and the interment following at St. Thomas. John Sheehan was a familiar character to all, when he lived here. He was withou! t enemies and enjoyed the friendship of a large circle of friends. Patrick Sheehan of this place is his only living brother.
