Sweethearts from the pastMartin and “Jennie” Walsh, MurdockBy Jannet Walsh, Minnesota Native Daughter
Mary Jannet “Jennie” (Foley) Walsh, 29, and Martin J. Walsh Sr., 28, were united in marriage Nov. 4, 1915, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Murdock, Minnesota.
I just uncovered this photo of my grandparent’s wedding that is simply precious. They were married at the first Sacred Heart parish built in 1894, under the direction of the Rev. P. J. O’Connor, of De Graff, for the cost of $5, 137.70. The first public services, unknown if it was a Mass, was Dec. 8, 1894, according to Swift County history.
My grandfather Martin, known to many at “Mart”, was born in Dublin Township, Swift County, on Feb. 19, 1887, in section 32, in a house that was moved from De Graff. He died at age 101 on Jan. 15, 1998, at Rice Memorial Hospital in Willmar.
My late father Martin J. Walsh Jr. and my aunt Margaret Walsh were at his bedside when he died. They had apparently spent many nights sleeping at the hospital before my grandfather and grandmother passed away.
In honor of sweethearts from the past, here are my grandparents Martin and “Jennie” Walsh on their wedding day, Nov. 4, 1915, in Murdock, Minneosta.
