Myron McSweeney of the Rockford Life Insurance Company office force was a near relative of Dr. W. F. N. O'Loughlin, chief surgeon of the Titanic. Dr. O'Loughlin was the dean of the medical staff of the White Star Line. As he was a member of the crew, McSweeney greatly fears that the doctor went down with the ship.
