ARTHUR MULDOON. Arthur Muldoon was born at Enneskilien, County Fermenagh, Ireland, on Jan. 12, 1810. At the age of 8 years he, with three sisters and a brother left their native country and joined their father, who had preceded them on the death of his wife, and settled in Canada. In 1832 he came to the United States and went to Rochester, N. Y., where he lived until 1864 when he came to this county and settled on a farm near Burdick. He resided on this farm until about a year ago, when he went to Chicago to live with his sons. About two weeks ago he was taken ill with acute bronchitis, and died last Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The remains were brought to Chesterton Friday morning and the funeral held at St. Patrick's church, Rev. Fr. Juraschek conducting the services, and the remains buried in the Catholic cemetery. Mr. Muldoon was the father of eighteen children, all of whom died before their father except three sons, William H. and Philip J., of Chicago, and Frank J. of Placerville, Cal. The deceased was 91 years 4 months and 12 days old and was an unusually active man for one of his advanced age.

Arthur was undoubtedly related to Jane and her mother "Widow" Muldoon and was probably Jane's brother. The evidence about Arthur and William Muldoon are the land tax records of OPS 1838-1842 and the various records from Rochester NY that verify they were brothers from Fermanagh. Arthur's obituary stated he came to Canada with his brother and 3 sisters before moving to New York before 1850. William Muldoon served as a witness to Arthur's naturalization.
