Above is an obituary for John Henry O'Brien, oldest son of my 2nd-great-grandfather, John J. O'Brien. I posted this article in 2015, for some reason without the photo.
Some additional facts that I glossed over when I posted this before, were on his successful election to Shelbyville City Clerk and City Treasurer.

John married Bertha May Gordon on 5 December 1906 in Shelbyville, Illinois.
Another article highlighted John's musical skill, leading an orchestra during a revival in 1910.

Watching the virtual Rootstech Conference this week inspired me to look back into the records on several lines of the family, and I'll be sharing some of the finds over the next few days.
