According to a picture I took of his gravestone, Mr. John Harrington was born in Athlone, Co. Roscommon. http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php/id_21836 Davenport Democrat and Leader Davenport, Scott, Iowa Sunday, January 13, 1907 COMES FROM A LONG LIVED FAMILY Michael Harrington of Davenport Has Interesting Story Has Never Drank a Glass of Beer of Whisky or Smoked a Cigar During His Entire Life Michael Harrington, 2425 Farnam street, the veteran marble cutter who recently passed his 80th birthday, comes from a remarkably long lived family. His wife Catherine is 76 years of age and her mother died at the age of 99 years. A brother John Harrington, formerly with the Schricker-Rodler company is 84 years old. A sister, Mrs. Rose McLaughlin of this city is 96 years old and still able to do her own housework. Another sister, Biddy, died at the age of 99 years and an uncle, John Murray of Boston, lived to the ripe old age of 103 years. Mr. Harrington, although 80 years of age, is regularly employed by Iglehart & Co of Rock Island as a marble cutter and is regarded as one of the most expert artisans in this line in the West. His vision is still perfect and he has never been obliged to wear glasses. There is a secret however for Mr. Harrington's remarkable vitality and he is proud of the fact and glad to tell it. In short he has never drank a glass of beer or whisky or smoked a cigar in his life. He is temperate in all his living which is a characteristic of his family and undoubtedly accounts for their long lease on life. Mr. Harrington is an old forty-niner, having gone to the California gold fields during the heat of the excitement. He made the trip west on horseback and returned by the isthmus. He encountered many startling adventures during his trip to the goldfields and now tells many an interesting reminiscence of the pioneer days. In addition to his good wife, Mr. Harrington's family consists of five sons and two daughters. The sons are Thomas K. Harrington, the well known foreman of the paint shop at the Rock Island Arsenal; William Harrington, proprietor of the broom-works; Michael Harrington, an architect of Milwaukee; Joseph Harrington, the well known blacksmith and Frank Harrington, employed as a painter at the Rock Island Arsenal shops of which his brother is the foreman. And in the news the next day!!!!...... Davenport Democrat and Leader Davenport, Scott, Iowa Monday, January 14, 1907 OBITUARY Harrington John Harrington, one of the highly respected citizens of this city, died at 1:30 o'clock this morning at the ripe old age of 84 years. Mr. Harrington was born in Ireland Dec 25, 1820 and came to America in 1849 and settled in Boston. Forty-seven years ago he came to Davenport, where he has been employed as a marble cutter. He was a widower and made his home at 618 Colorado avenue, with his grand-daughter, who kept house for him. For many years he was employed by the Schricker-Rodler company. The deceased is survived by a brother, Michael Harrington, well known in this city and also a marble cutter. Three sons, James and Bernard of Chicago, and Richard of Des Moines, three daughters, Mrs. Mary Flickenger, Mrs. Kate Alverston, and Mrs. Margaret Avitt of Chicago, mourn their loss, besides a sister, Mrs. Rose McLaughlin, of Davenport, who is 96 years of age.

ERRATUM.--In our obituary column of yesterday an announcement was copied from a Dublin contemporary, of the death of Mr. PATRICK G. WALSH, which stated the rank of the deceased as Chief Officer of the Roscoe. This was erroneous, and was copied by accident into our journal, in which the correct statement had formerly appeared, and which recorded the death of Mr. P. G. WALSH "Captain of the ship Roscoe." The deceased was a fine young man, aged 25 years, who was selected by the owners of that vessel to run the blockade with her. Since his death Captain WALSH'S father, Mr. O'B. WALSH, of Midleton, received a letter from the owners expressive of the regret they experienced at his loss. --The Cork Examiner, 25 September 1862 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern [dja] | The Obituary Daily Times indexer for Acton, Massachusetts | The Acton Beacon, The Irish Examiner, ahern@world.std.com | The Evening Echo, The Cork Examiner http://tiara.ie/obframe.htm | http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
