    • Email Date: 4/15/2004 5:17:23 PM Pacific Standard Time From: ejcoutts@sbcg lobal.net Hello Jay,My name is Ellen and I recently came across your family genealogy onlin e. I see you have posted information concerning the family of Michael Meeh an and Louisa Ruppert. Michael was my great-grandmother's brother. I ha ve gathered some of the same information you have posted, but also ha ve a little more that may interest you. Michael was the son of Irish immi grants, John and Catherine (nee Walsh) Meehan, who settled in Port Washing ton, Ozaukee Co. WI. I can find no record of his birth, but census recor ds would seem to indicate he was born about 1855. Newspaper accounts of h is death give 1883 as the year he left WI and settled in Colorado. As y ou know, he married Louisa Ruppert there on Oct. 22, 1887 and they beca me the parents of 5 children. Michael, who worked as an engineer for t he Denver Rio Grande Railroad met an untimely death on the job April 2 5, 1900, leaving Louisa a widow at age 29 with 5 young children. I ha ve a number of Denver newspaper articles describing the accident in gre at detail. If you are interested, I would be happy to send them to yo u. He was originally buried at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Denver, but in 191 0, Louisa had his body reinterred in the Ruppert family plot at Fairmou nt Cemetery in Denver. My great-grandmother corresponded with Louisa f or many years and later my grandmother and their daughter, Annie C. Meeh an Monahan wrote letters and sent pictures back and forth too. I also ha ve several snapshots of Louisa and her children that she sent to my grandm other. Again, if you are interested, I would be happy to email or snail m ail copies of them to you.I look forward to hearing from you. Ellen Coutts ejcoutts@sbcglobal.ne t
      Michael & Louisa's oldest child, Annie, married Henry L. Monahan on Ja n. 17, 1908 in Denver, CO. The priest performing the ceremony was Fath er Leo Heinrichs. Just one month later, on Feb. 23, an Italian immigran t, Guiseppe Alio, shot and killed F. Heinrichs while he was administeri ng Holy Communion at St. Elizabeth's Church in Denver.The photo at rig ht of Fr. Heinrichs appears on a holy card found in Anna (Meehan) Gorman 's photo album. (See Picture of FR. Heinrichs)
