| Dr. William Minahan and Lillian | Their home: 156 E 4th St, Fond du Lac, WI |
From my hometown of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; Dr William, Lillian (his wife) and Daisy (his sister) Minahan were abroad. Early in 1912 the trio returned to Ireland to visit their ancestral homeland. They boarded the Titanic in Queenstown, the last stop before heading out across the Atlantic. As the ship sank, William helped his wife and sister into Boat 14 and told them to ‘be brave” as he stayed behind. The Minahan women were rescued by the Carpathia and made their way back to Wisconsin
When Dr. Minahan’s body was recovered a few days after the sinking by the Mackay Bennet, he was identified as No. 230 and described as such: Estimated age 60. Hair – Grey. Clothing – Black suit and overcoat. Effects – pocketbook, papers, gold watch, keys, knife, fountain pen among other things – a man’s final effects, small testimony to a life lost.
