• Notes

  [EFA4.FTW] [orr.FTW] [EDDYORRN.GED] Myron Johnathon Eddy was born on March 27, 1856 in London Township, Monroe County, Michigan. Myron was the eldest child of Orrin and Asenath Walworth Eddy. In 1964, Orrin moved his family to Amherst Township, Fillmore County, Minnesota where his brother Ethan Eddy had settled on a homestead in 1853 and was one of the founders of this township. Orrin farmed in Fillmore County and worked at his brothers saw mill until he moved his family to Delavan Township near Bass Lake in Faribault County about 1869. Orrin died in Delevan, Minnesota on March 7, 1882 and is buried in the Bass Lake cemetery next to the Bass Lake community church. After the death of her husband, Asenath and her family moved to the vicinity of Elk River, Sherburne County, Minnesota. In the Minnesota State cenus records for 1885 it shows Asenath and her family living with the Sprague Brown family in Elk River. Hulda, Myron's only sister was married to Sprague Brown. In 1887, Myron married Clara Fadden in Cold Springs, Stearns County, Minnesota who was the eldest daughter of Arron and Marcina Reynolds Fadden. The family apparently made their home near Bailey's Corner in Sherburne County as all four of their children were born there. In 1896 the family moved to Sauk Rapids, Benton Co., Minnesota where Myron had accepted the position as a rural mail carrier. At this time the village of Sauk Rapids was at the end of the railroad and was the largest town in this section of the county, with the city of St. Cloud just getting started. Myron accepted the position of carrying mail to the residents in the rural districts of Benton County and with his team made the trip to Ronneby and south of there along the old coach road twice a week. He held this mail carrying job with the exception of a few months for the next eight years. Seeing possibilities in the hotel business in Ronneby, he moved his family there in 1902 and for the next three years he ran the Ronneby Hotel. At this time Foley was merely a logging camp run by the Foley Bros. who were logging off Benton County. He then moved onto a farm north of Ronneby with his family and for three years he took up farming. In 1908, due to failing health, he moved to Foley where he resided until he died on April 1, 1929 from a heart problem. Myron was a member of the St. Francis Camp 11 of the Modern Woodsmen Association at Ronneby for 32 years. During this time he held all the offices in the camp, a number of them many times. Myron's childen were Mrs. Joe Wruck (Alice) who lived in Oak Park, Minnesota; Mrs. Albert Milton (Bertha) of Onamia, Minnesota; Mrs. Alpha Vaillancourt (Dora) of Oak Park, Minnesota and his son Clarence Eddy of Foley, Minnesota. Myron was buried at the Ronneby Lutheran Cemetery. (Bruce S. Milton Research)
