HUGH O'CONNOR Candidate for Congress from the Third Indiana District Born in the United States but Was Educated in Ireland His Irish Ancestor Marked an Epoch in English History Grand Nephew of Fergus O'Connor In speaking of Hugh O'Connor, the Republican candidate for Congress in the Third district of Indiana which includes New Albany, Jeffersonville and Corydon, Col. Durbin recently said: "Your candidate is no accident in this campaign and unless I am very much mistaken in my estimate of this man, whom I have observed closely for some time past, he will prove considerable of an incident about November 6 and afterward." .Hugh O'Connor was born in New Orleans at the close the Civil War in 1865. His father, Daniel O'Connor, was part owner in a shipyard located in Algiers opposite New Orleans. When the Union arm entered the city many of the dock owners destroyed their property so that the Federals could not use it. Daniel O'Connor took the contract to build the fleet of flatboats that were used by Banks' army to cross Red River. After, he undertook the repairs of the Federal boats and so great was the animosity against him that he was compelled to go to Mobile for men to do the work. At the age of ten Hugh O'Connor was sent to Ireland and remained there at school until he reached his 19th year. On his return to America, he entered the service of the Constitution Stone Company near Marietta, Ohio, and gradually advanced to the position of assistant superintendent. In 1892 he was transferred to Connecticut and placed in charge of the Windsor Red Stone Company's quarries owned by the same parties as the Ohio quarries. In 1894 he came to Corydon, Indiana, as manager of the Corydon Stone Company and the Louisville, New Albany & Corydon Railroad, a short line running from Corydon Junction to Corydon and thence to the King's Cave quarries. Mr. O'Connor is a grand nephew of Fergus O'Connor, the celebrated chartist whose work marked an epoch in English history about 1840. If there is anything in heredity, Hugh O'Connor must certainly have it in him to succeed and one cannot help wishing that he may.
