John Dominick Feeney
Born in Ireland in 1843, he immigrated with his parents and siblings to the US and settled in Houston County, Minnesota.

When the Civil War broke out, he was in New Orleans and was conscripted in the Confederate Army.  He deserted and went upriver to Cairo, Illinois where he enlisted the Illionois 9th Infantry regiment. He was wounded in the battle of Fort Donaldson in Tennessee. In the hospital he contracted typhoid fever, and he lost his hearing.  

He died in 1928 in North Dakota.
