HEALY, WAYNE, J., farmer; is the son of Sullivan and Emiline Healy and was born in Eagle Point township March 8, 1854. He attended his home school until seventeen years of age, when he took up studies' in the Polo High School and was for three years under the tutorship of J. H. Freeman, one of Ogle county's very brightest instructors. When Mr. Healy was one year old his parents moved to Whiteside county, but moved back to Ogle county in March, 1864, and he lived with them on the farm until he became of age. He farmed his father's farm from 1871 to 1879, when, his health failing him, he was ad- vised by friends to go to California. He remained in California three years, when he came back well and hearty. Upon his return (1882) he took charge of his sister's farm, which he cultivated suc- cessfully for seven years. Finally, in 1894, he moved to Mount Morris town- ship, where he has since resided. Mr. Healy was united in marriage September 3, 1888, to Miss Luella Alice Rhinehart. Five children have been born to them : Floyd S., July 11, 1889 ; Ethel E., Au- gust 26, 1891; Ruth C., July 17, 1893 ; Monte D., March 23, 1895; Hazel V., July 21, 1897.
