Reunited by Death After 16 Years of Strife Sweeney Family
Mrs. Sweeney of Winthrop attended the burial of her husband and father of three, who died after being struck by a Union railroad train. The couple’s 16 year separation began with hardship and dissipation, ending in a poignant reunion at burial. Their daughters, who grew up apart from their father, carried on at 48 Belcher Street, while he had long faced off and on law trouble and addiction. The tale intertwines romance, hardship, and a final recognition that reveals a past life on Deer Island.
