PATRICK H. BYRNE DEAD
____
Civil War Veteran and State Pioneer.
___
Patrick Henry Byrne, veteran of the Civil war and the Minnesota outbreak and a pioneer settler in Dakota county, died Sunday night at the home of his niece, Miss K. B. Byrne, 709 Sixteenth avenue north. He was born in Ottawa, Canada, 87 years ago.
With his father and eight brothers Mr. Byrne came to Minnesota in 1852. They took eight homesteads in Dakota county, about one mile distant from the present village of Savage, and named the locality Byrneville, by which it has been known ever since. When the Sioux Indians rebelled in 1862 Mr. Byrne became a defender as a member of A company of the Sixth Minnesota. After the uprising had been quelled he accompanied General H. H. Sibley south, serving through the rest of the Civil war. He never was married and his closest relatives are nieces and nephews living in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Funeral services were held Wednesday at Ascension Church. Burial in St. Mary's cemetery. (From the Minneapolis Chronicle, July 27, 1917)

Thomas Byrne Baptism recordAlthough Byrnesville was named in honor of William Byrne and his family, no one, including relatives have photos or much documentation. The family knows William and Julia Doyle Byrne left Ireland and said to Canada, settling in Hamilton Canada, where 9 of their 10 children were born including Thomas. A member of the family sent the Historical Society this Baptism record 1824 which seems to be for their Thomas (the parents names match).
