Notes
a. Note:   Hugh Darcy filed a pre-emption declaration on October 14, 1858 and received title from the United States Government, under the Homestead Act, on March 20, 1878, to 80 acres of land situated in the West half of the North West quarter of Section two, in Township one hundred and ten, of Range fourteen, which is in Chester Township of Wabasha County. Title had originally been granted on January 27, 1873, but was cancelled because the name was spelled Hugh Dorey on the original grant. Homestead Certificate No. 1791, Application 3537, New Ulm, Minnesota.
  On March 17, 1888, Josephine Darcy petitioned to be named guardian for her husband, Hugh Darcy. On May 18, 1888, by order of the Judge of Probate of Wabasha county, she was appointed guardian of the person and estate of Hugh Darcy and remained as guardian until his death.
  Hugh Darcy was admitted to the St. Peter State Hospital on September 25, 1875 and transferred to the Rochester State Hospital on January 17, 1879, where he stayed, except for short periods at home, until his death on October 25, 1896. Diagnosis was that of melancholia and cause of death was organic brain syndrome. This author has correspondence from the Rochester State Hospital dated September 4, 1980 and from the St. Peter State Hospital dated September 11, 1980. Family history says that Hugh Darcy suffered from a sun stroke.
  Obituary of Hugh Darcy, Sr., The Mazeppa Tribune, Vol. 19, No. 52, page 1, Wednesday, October 28, 1896: "Word was received in this village Monday of the death of Hugh Darcy, Sr., one of the early settlers of Chester township, but who for a score or more of years has been confined to the State asylum at Rochester. His sons, James J. and Hugh, brought the remains of their parent home on Tuesday and today at Bellechester the last rites of church and society will be performed toward the deceased. His was an unfortunate life and death was a welcome caller. Of the family history of the deceased The Tribune knows little, not having been able to get the particulars from the family in time for this weeks issue, but nearly all its readers know that he was the husband of Mrs. Josephine Darcy of Chester and that his family of children consists of James J.; Hugh; Ed; Frank and Josephine. The deceased was also a brother of John Darcy of this village."
