"JOHN McCORMICK is a successful agriculturist of Weld County, his home being on section 24, township 1 range 69, half a mile east of Berthoud. In addition to following general farming and stock-raising he has dealt quite extensively in live stock, buying, selling and shipping...His comfortable house, built of brick, was the first one constructed of that material in this locality. His barn is one of the largest and best in the neighborhood. The prosperity which he now enjoys is entirely the result of his own labors, for, when he arrived in America, in early manhood, he was a poor Irish boy...Now he ranks with the best farmers and citizens of this county and is always counted upon to do whatever he can to advance the welfare of the public. As one of the stockholders of the Partners' Mill and Elevator Company, of Berthoud, he has been actively interested, this being one of the most beneficial institutions of this section of the county. Born in County Clare, Ireland, June 4, 1840, our subject is a son of John and Margaret (McMahon) McCormick, who were well-to-do farmers. When he was seventeen years of age John McCormick, Jr., came to the United States with his married sister, Mrs. Mary S. Slashary. He worked in the iron foundries of Philadelphia for about a year, and then proceeded westward as far as Blackhawk County, Iowa, where he had an uncle living. In his employ he continued five years, at the expiration of which period he concluded to come to Colorado and embark in mining enterprises. >From 1872 until 1875 he followed mining and prospecting, in company with his brother Martin, who had come to America at the same time, in 1857. They were in Central City much of the time and the mountain altitude did not seem to agree with our subject. Therefore he went to Golden and engaged in railroading and coal-mining, later working on the Gulf Railroad, which was then in process of construction between Cheyenne and Longmont. When the line was completed he was made foreman of the Loveland section, and five or six months afterward took charge of the Berthoud section. This he worked on for nearly three years, and in the meantime had bought one-quarter of a section of land near Loveland, renting the same. While employed on the Berthoud section he became the purchaser of the farm where he now makes his home...His home ranch comprises one hundred and sixty acres, and besides this he owns another place of similar extent, about eight miles distant, which homestead he rents. January 14, 1884, Mr. McCormick married Miss Phoebe McCafferty, who is a native of the northern part of Ireland, but has lived in America since she was eighteen years old. This worthy couple have no children of their own, but have taken into their hearts and home two little ones, Katie and Thomas, aged respectively twelve and seven years. They are the children of Mr. McCormick's sister, Kate, wife of James Roach, of County Clare, Ireland. They made the journey from their far-away home in Ireland with a friend to Chicago and from there alone as far as Denver, where their uncle met them. In 1887 he and his wife made a three months' visit in Ireland. Politically he is a Democrat. In religions faith he and his wife are Catholics, attending the church at Longmont. http://www.memoriallibrary.com/CO/1898DenverPB/pages/pbrd1018.htm 1900 CO Larimer Co., Berthoud Pct [1910 John and Phoege still there, 1920 gone]McCormick John 48 Ire b.

"Stephen Joseph Meany was born in Newhall, county Clare, Ireland, September 12, 1822. His mother's name was Mary Sheehan. He was educated in the public schools of Ennis. He began his journalistic career on the Clare Journal, and was connected at different periods of his life with the Limerick Chronicle, Freeman's Journal, Irish Tribune, Limerick and Clare Examiner, Drogheda Argus, and Liverpool Daily Post. In 1847 he founded the Irish National Magazine, but it had only a short existence. In October, 1843, O'Connell undertook to thwart the offical reporter of the House of Commons...by delivering his address in Irish. But Meany, whose facility as a shorthand reporter was remarkable, took down the address and it was published in the Freeman. He was intensely interested in the national movement and was imprisoned several times on account of his writings. In 1856 he paid his first visit to America, and wrote fo the New York Herald, Sunday Times, and Harper's Weekly. He became part owner of the Toledo (O.) Daily Commercial and German Weekly. In 1865 and 1866 he was connected with the Fenian movement, organized a fair at New York to raise funds for the relief of those arrested in the futile raid on Canada, and on his return to Ireland in November, 1867, was promptly arrested for speeches made in the United States, tried in Dublin and sentenced to penal servitude for fifteen years. After several months' imprisonment he was released on condition that he should leave the country. He returned to New York and did work for the World, Star and Weekly Democrat, making frequent visits to the old country. In 1882 he was arrested in Ennis, Ireland, under Mr. Forster's coercion act, but was soon released. In 1885, he went to London and gave material aid in the defense of Burton and Cunningham, who were implicated in the attempt to destroy the Tower of London. In 1887 he went to Waterbury [Connecticut] to edit the daily Democrat...On February 8, 1888, he died of erysipelas, which set in after a surgical operation for diseased toe joint...After funeral honors in this city and New York the body was taken to Ireland, lay in state in Ennis for a week, and was buried in Dromcliffe churchyard. At the age of eighteen Mr. Meany married Miss Hoare, by whom he had two sons and two daughters....Stephen J. Meany was six feet tall...and at the age of sixty-five walked the streets of Waterbury with the elasticity of step that characterized him when as a youth he was spoken of as the most athletic of the young men of his native town." pp. 987-88 The Town and City of Waterbury, Conencticut: From the Aboriginal Period to the Year 1895 New Haven: Price & Lee, 1896 transcribed by Sharon Carberry, Georgie

"Patrick Baker, Station Agent at Rome, was born in County Clare, Ireland, March 17, 1827, and is a son of Michael and Mary (O'Grady), both of whom are natives of Ireland, and were reared, married, and died in County Clare. His father was eighty-two years old at his death, and his mother seventy-five. They were both members of the Catholic Church, and reared nine children, all of whom grew...[up]. They were named: Thomas, who died in Ireland; Mary, wife of Patrick Byron, also a native of Ireland; Bridget, wife of James Clune, of the same country; Ellen, wife of John Sullivan; Ann, wife of James Daloughty; Daniel, also a resident of his native country; Michael, who died there; John, who died in Rome, Iowa, in 1874, and Patrick. Our subject was the second one of the family to emigrate to America. He crossed the water in 1849, settling in New York, where for seven years he was engaged as section foreman on the New York & Erie Railroad. In 1855 he came to Burlington, and as engaged as track foreman for the B. & M., now the C., B & Q. R.R., and in 1858 came to Rome. Here Mr. Baker was engaged as foreman, continuing in this employment in 1878, when he was made Station Agent... Mr. Baker was united in marriage, in 1855, to Johanna Ambrose, a native of County Limerick, Ireland, and a daughter of William Ambrose.

Another little local gem hidden away for Saturday listening. http://www.shannoncommunityradio.org/archives.htm Regards, Larry.

I pulled these off the Internet as a group more than a month ago, apparently without keeping the website. So, I have no further info in particular on these, except I have consulted a few like the Frost book (the actual 1893 hard-copy version).

Thanks, Declan. How I wish, for simplicity's sake, that the Evans-Freke family had not decided to be known as Carbery. By the mid-1800s they had spread all over Ireland, including Limerick (where that Knockane is located), from their original confiscated landholdings in the Bandon area of Cork. The irony is that they had all cleared off the island by 1930 and instead were being written up in newspapers for activities in Africa and California.
