    Notes 
    • After their marriage, Albert and Rose first lived in the Ohiowa area. They wanted to move back to Milligan, so they purchased the NE 1/4 of Section 8, Glengary Township from Bridget O'Boyle on April 2, 1902. Albert borrowed the money from his parents to do so, witht he stipulation that he pay each of his parents $40 annually. He also was to give his mother 200 pounds of flour a year, but she died two months after her signed the deed. They built a new home on the farm in 1904. After Rose died unexpectedly, Albert retired to town, leaving the farming to his sons. He was in poor health and living in a room of the Milligan Hotel when he committed suicide. He was 73 years old. He was buried near his wife (Milligan, p 335).
