Edward received a letter
from his brother in law Daniel Doran in 1882 suggesting that Edward move to Missouri with them.
Perhaps Edward should have taken his advice, because he died the next year when a giant tornado came to Beloit:

Beloit Badly Shattered by Terrific winds.
One Man killed and Six Persons Wounded
The long immunity is over and Beloit has bowed low before the dread tornado, and
death and mangled body and wrecked structure and uptorn tree testify to the mighty force of the awful visitant.
...
The only loss of life was the killing of Mr. Edward Halloran, who was crushed to death beneath the falling wall of the north machine room
of the Rock River paper mill.
Mr. Halloran was a man well along in years, and leaves a young son besides two married daughters. He has lived in the city many years, and was a quiet and excellent citizen, and much regret is felt at his untimely decease.
There were numerous hair bredth escapes, but most fortunately no other lives were lost than than of Mr Halloran.
With the exception of Mr. Malloy, it is believed that none received injuries from which they will not fully recover in the course of time.
...
Some of the mill hands witnessed the destruction of the machine room, and say that a funnel shaped cloud
came twisting and bounding from a northwest direction striking
into the river just below the new bridge piling, and drawing a great volume of water high into the air,
then jumping right on to the machine room leveling the east and north-east walls.
Mr. Edward Holloran, the employee who lost his life, and another workman named John Mallory had been watching the cyclone,
and fearing that it would strike them, they attempted to get into the mill.
Malloy jumped through a window and saved his life, but received bad injuries.
Mr. Holleran tried to reach the door, but before he could enter it he was crushed beneath the heavy stone wall.
His remains were recovered a few hours later.
His body did not show many bruises but
his head and face were badly mangled.
His position when found showed that he knew the wall was falling,
as he had one hand out as if to restrain it.
W. D. Kellog Esq. was on the bridge when the storm was at its greatest fury and would have been blown into the river,
but he grasped the railing and his life was nearly whipped out oh him,
yet he escaped with nothing more than bruises.
