John and Mary Madigan Gravesite, Hayward, Wisconsin

Patrick (c1850-1890) and Bessie Thompson's (1852-1935) son, John Joseph (1887-1983) Madigan moved to Hayward, Wisconsin upon marrying Mary (Last name unknown) whom I am told own some property in Hayward. Both John and his wife Mary (1907-1995) are buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Hayward, Sawyer County, Wisconsin.

Uncle Tom Sullivan (1908-1996), the nephew of John Madigan, said Mary was a cook at Harry Madigan's restaurant and bar. John also worked there.

A memorial for John Joseph Madigan was created on Find-A-Grave in 2014 by Nancy Weise. The person creating the Madigan memorial on Find-A-Grave regularly photographs grave sites in the area. Although all the information is not completely correct, especially about Mary being John's "daughter" rather than his wife, it provided John's place and date of death and the fact he worked for Harry Madigan "who had a Budweiser Tavern in Chicago." Also, the link to John's father "Patrick Madigan (1852-1937)" is incorrect. John's father, Patrick (1850-1890), died in Chicago and is buried in Calvary Cemetery, Evanston, Illinois.

Thank you Ms Weise for posting the gravestones and trying to capture the family.

A memorial for Mary was also created on Find-A-Grave by Ms Weise.

I have been unable to locate a death notice for neither John nor Mary Madigan.
