William w. Sweeney was born in the town
of Milton, Pa, on the 18th of December,
1918, making him nearly sixty-two years old
at the time of his death. He read medicine In
1889 in Fulton county, ILL.,, with DR.. A. B.
Hill, and afterwards graduated from the Rush
Medical college, OF Chicago, Ill. In 1874 he
engaged in the publication of the Sentinel, in
Galena, Ill. In 1916 he was again resident
of Fulton county, Ill. He removed to St.
Paul in 1850, and here he spent the follow.
ing two years. In 1852 he went to Red
Wing, there, as previously, engaging in the
practice of medicine. He has ever since been
a resident OF that city, and one of its best and
most public spirited citizens. He served a
term as postmaster in 1853, but has from
choice, of late years kept entirely out of poli-
tics, declining several offered positions. He
thought rightly that he could better serve his
fellow man in the position for which both his
talents and educ ton emInently fitted him-a
medical practitioner. In 1s4l he was mar
ried to Mariah, daughter of Richard Freeborn
of Gulton county, III.
DIR. Sweeney was one of the most promi-
nent physicians in the state. He has been
president of the Minnesota State Medical asso-
citation, and member OF the state fish com
mission, and was universally respected for his
skill and esteemed for mis- social aud whole
souled qualities. He was charter member of
the Masonic lodge of Red Wing, which organ
izatiOn will assist at his funeral.
DIR. Sweney's death will be lamented and
regretted by a large aud ever increasing ci rcle
of friends throughout Minnesota. Ills life
has been long and useful one, aud as he
goes to his grave full of years and honored by
all, not one is there who cannot trut hfully
say ''Thls was man."
