Librarian Amy Muchmore pointed out that J. O’Hea Cantillon actually died on Monday, March 31, 1879. His obituary appears the next day, April 1, in the Dubuque Daily Herald at https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4sRCAAAAIBAJ&sjid=WKsMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1791%2C5167895.
That obituary seems to indicate that Cantillon served as sheriff after Ernst Young died in office in 1872, seven years earlier, but only until the successor Michael Liddy was elected that the same year, in 1872.

According to current sheriff Joe Kennedy, Runde retired in October 2010, Don Vrotsos was sheriff from 2010 until 2016, and then Joe Kennedy took over in 2016.
