OBITUARY OF EDWIN MCNAMARA


Edwin Lee McNamara was born in Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 23, 1906.


His mother died when he was four years old, at which time he came to Greenwood, Clark County, Wis. to make his home with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Oelig.


He attended school in Greenwood until he reached the eighth grade.


Because of ill health and a very nervous condition he had to be taken out of school.


In spite of all that medical aid could do he grew gradually worse until his mind became affected and he was committed to the Clark County Asylum, where he died Tuesday morning Feb. 7, 1928.


Funeral services were held from the Oelig home Friday afternoon, Feb. 10, 1928.


He was laid to rest in the Greenwood Cemetery, Rev. E.G. Pfeiffer officiated.


His father preceded him in death.


He is survived by two brothers, Harry L. McNamara of Jim Falls and Theodore Charles of Dayton, Ohio.
