" DR. JAMES JOSEPH MORONY, M. D., is one of the best known and liked medical men in Clinton county, Illinois... James J. Morony was born at Decatur, Illinois, on the 6th of September, 1865. He was the son of John Morony, who first saw the light of day in far-famed old County Clare, in Ireland, in 1819. John Morony studied engineering in Ireland, and then took up railroad contracting, following this occupation throughout his active life. In 1848 he came to America and located at Decatur, Illinois. In his work here as a railroad contractor he built part of the Illinois Central and Wabash railroads. In 1853 he was married in St. Louis to Helen Godfrey. At that time she was living in St. Louis, but, like her husband, she hailed from the Emerald Isle. Four of the children born to them grew to maturity: Hugh C., a fireman in the St. Louis fire department; Andrew C., an attorney in St. Louis; Joseph J.; and Patrick, who died in 1904, having reached the position of division freight agent for the Iron Mountain Railroad. Until within a few years of his death Mr. Morony followed a very active life, but as his health failed he retired and in 1898 he died at St. Louis. The death of his wife had occurred several years before, in 1893, at St. Louis. In politics Mr. Morony was a Republican, and the religious affiliations of both his wife and himself were with the Roman Catholic church. Since the profession of his father forced him to often change his place of residence, the early life of the son was spent in a number of different places, among them being, Decatur, La Place, Arcola and St. Louis. His education was obtained in the public schools of the above places. After leaving school he went to work in the railroad offices. Having no experience, he began at the very bottom and worked up until finally he reached the position of traveling auditor for the Terminal Railroad Association. Until 1892 he followed railroading and then, thinking that his taste for medicine was stronger than that for the railroad business, he gave up his position and entered the Marion Sims school. He had been in business for a good many years and was older than the average student, so the work was unusually hard for him, but he stuck doggedly at it and in 1895 was graduated from the institution. At first he was located in St. Louis and then, in 1897, he came to Breese. Here he has since remained, conducting a general practice and doing considerable work in the hospital of Breese. He has not cared for either politics or business, preferring to devote himself exclusively to his profession. He is interested in the civic life of the city, however, and since 1900 he has served as coroner of Clinton county. He votes the Democratic ticket, but is content to see others holding the offices. He is a member of the Roman Catholic church, and is associated fraternally with the Knights of Columbus. In his own profession he belongs to the State, County and American Medical Societies, and takes much interest in the work of these various organizations. On the 17th of June, 1890, Mr. Morony was married to Katherine O'Brien, of St. Louis. They have become the parents of two children, Mary and Frank. ...." p. 1128 A HISTORY OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS by George Washington Smith LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK,1912 http://www.memoriallibrary.com/IL/South/Bios/M/Morony~James.htm

"Dailey, Michael, was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1844, and came to the United States in 1852, with his parents, Michael and Sarah Dailey, who settled in Batavia. Mr. Dailey wasgeducated in the Union school and in 1863 engaged in the grocery business, in which he continued several years.

In 1866 Mr. Dailey married Anna, daughter of Daniel and Rosanna Prindie, and five children survive. Anna, Catherine M., Elizabeth, Joseph and Monica. The death of Mr. Dailey, which occurred March 13, 1883, was a loss not only to his family, but to all who knew him, He was public spirited in the best sense of the word, and ever ready to contribute his efforts to the welfare of the community. At the time of his death he was chairman of the Democratic county committee and one of the trustees of the State School for the Blind in Batavia. He had held the office of village trustee and other local positions of honor and trust. " http://history.rays-place.com/bios/ny-genesee/dailey-m.htm

CASHMAN, James is a native of the "Emerald Isle," born in 1833 in County Cork, son of Thomas and Mary (Martin) Cashman, farming people, who were in comfortable circumstances. They had a family of eight children-five sons and three daughters of whom James was the third youngest. The parents both died in Ireland. James Cashman commenced to assist with the farm work as soon as he was old enough, and as a consequence his schooling was neglected. He remained under the parental roof up to the age of twenty years, when, being no longer needed at home, he resolved to cross the Atlantic and see what opportunities were offered in America. In the spring of 1853 he left Cork for Liverpool, where he took passage for New York, landing after a comparatively short voyage of four weeks' duration. The following summer he worked for a farmer near Niagara Falls, N. Y., and in the fall came farther west, by rail to Chicago, Ill., and thence by boat and stage to Appleton, Outagamie Co., Wis., where he found employment on the buildings of Lawrence University, then in course of construction. With the money he managed to save by frugality and persistent industry he bought eighty acres of land in Section 24, Greenville township, Outagamie county, paying about two hundred dollars for the tract, and gave all his spare time to clearing the land, adding improvements when possible, but he never made a permanent home there until his marriage. For several winters he engaged in lumbering, a vocation in which all the early settlers had more or less experience. In September, 1857, he vas married, in Appleton, to Annie Corbett, who was born about 1833 in County Clare, Ireland, and came to America with her brother Patrick. The young couple took up their residence at once on the farm, whereon he had built a rude dwelling, and at this time had ten acres sowed to wheat and several more cleared. He owned a yoke of oxen, but no wagon, or modern implements, but by persevering in his work and buying machinery, as he could afford it, he saw the forest gradually give place to a well- cultivated farm, which yields him a comfortable income; he also owns five acres in Grand Chute township. The struggles and hardships he experienced during those early years of toil were the same as those endured by all pioneers in a newly opened country, and his success in the face of all obstacles is all the more creditable. All his business dealings are characterized by straightforward honesty, and all who know him esteem him as a substantial, loyal citizen. To Mr. and Mrs. James Cashman were born children as follows: Mary, who lives at home and keeps house for her father; Thomas, a carpenter; Edward and William, farmers, who live at home; and three sons and one daughter, all deceased in infancy. The mother was called from earth in January, 1876, and sleeps her last sleep in the cemetery at Appleton. Mr. Cashman has always been a staunch Democrat, but is no aspirant for political honors, though he has held offices in his school district. The family are Catholics in religious belief, belonging to St. Mary's Church, of Appleton. Commemorative Biographical Record of the Fox River Valley Counties of Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago, J.H.

"Timothy Hare was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1838, a son of Timothy and Catherine (Holloran) Hare. The father died there in 1847. When about sixteen years of age (1854) our subject emigrated to American, coming to Washington county, where he first worked on the farm of Robert M. Patterson, of Cross Creek township, for $8 per month, remaining with him two years. He had been barely that length of time in the land of his adoption when he found himself, by dint of hard labor and careful thrift, enabled, though yet but a mere boy, to send means to his native land to bring to Washington county his widowed mother and one of his sisters. The mother died in Washington in 1887 at an advanced age. She was the mother of nine children, all of whom died in Ireland, save three: Timothy, Bridget (Mrs. Shaughnessy) and Mary (Mrs. Farrell), both residents of Pittsburgh, Penn. In 1853 the second sister emigrated. After a time Mr. Hare commenced the huckstering business, carrying goods to Pittsburgh each week; then worked a farm in South Strabane township for one year. In 1874 he embarked in the present grocery business in Washington, in which he has met with exceptional success. In 1861 our subject was married to Margaret, daughter of Thomas Breen. To them nine children were born, namely: John F., in Washington; Thomas, near Pittsburgh; Timothy, a tailor in Cadiz, Ohio; James, in Washington; Mary, Catherine J., William and Margaret, all at home with their parents; Charles died some sixteen years ago, at the age of six months. Mrs. Hare is a native of Ireland, and was brought to this country when a small child. In 1880 Mr. Hare built the house in Washington, which is now the family home. In religious faith he is a Catholic, in politics a Democrat, but at elections he asserts his right to exercise his own judgment, regardless of party lines." p. 283 Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J.

While researching Bartholomew Hayes of Ennistymon I ran accross the following in the minutes of the Ennistymon Poor Law Committee "Moved that the voting papers searved by Bartly Hayes be laid on the table on this day week, that they may be inspected with a view of discovering several irregularities contained in them and supposed to be perpetrated by himself and with his consent and that a committee be appointed for such inspection " [May26th,1843] Later in the minutes the folllowing appeared " Moved by Michael Considine and seconded by Austin Slattery that a committee be appointed to examine the voting papers of Bartholomew Hayes. Moved as an admendment by Daniel Considine and seconded by Michael McNamara that the voting papers be not examined in as much as that it would not be dealing fairly with the rate payers to expose their votes." What are the voting papers? They appear to be tied in with property valuations and taxes that go to the Poor Law Union. Any help will be greatly appreciated Richard Hayes

A native of County Clare, Ireland, [John Dinan] was born in 1833 or 1834, being one of ten children, whose parents were Patrick and Margaret (Dullahanty) Dinan. They were both natives of Ireland, and there the father, who during life followed agricultural pursuits, departed this life. His wife came to America with her children, and her death occurred in South Bethlehem. All but one of her seven sons and three daughters are still living, three of her sons being residents of Bethlehem, and four sons living near Wilkes Barre. John Dinan, who is next to the eldest of his parents children, passed his boyhood on his father s farm, and when sixteen years of age, in 1850, set sail from Liverpool on the Isaac Wright, and after six weeks and two days on the Atlantic landed in New York City. He found himself in the New World with only two shillings and sixpence in his pocket, and without friends or acquaintances. Going to Jersey City, he obtained employment on the Central Railroad, working in the construction department until the road was finished. Two weeks later he went with a corps of engineers to help located and aid in the construction of the Belvidere Railroad, and he continued in that line until the completion of the road. Samuel Logan, a friend, who was employed with the Lehigh Valley Road, then asked him to take charge of the gang of men on the section between Bethlehem and Redington. This was April 11, 1856, and taking the place, he continued as foreman until 1875... [much more] Portrait and Biographical Record of Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon Counties, Pennsylvania.

"JOHN McGOWEN is one of the self made men of Seward county, who came to this state in limited circumstances, but have succeeded through their own industry, perseverance and good management in securing a good home and comfortable competence for themselves and families. His early home was on the other side of the Atlantic, for he is a native of the Emerald Isle, born in County Clare, April 13, 1820. His parents, Thomas and Bridget (O'Day) McGowen, were also natives of the same county, were farming people and spent their entire lives in the parish of Killmikle. Their family consisted of eight children, four sons and four daughters, of whom two sons are now deceased, and our subject is the only one living in this country. In the public schools of Ireland John McGowen acquired a limited education, but his training in farm work was not so meager and he soon became a thorough and skillful agriculturist. In 1848 he sailed for America, and on reaching this country located in New York state, where he spent five years. The following twelve years he lived in Muskingum county, Ohio, and from there removed to McLean county, Illinois, where he followed farming until coming to Nebraska in 1874. He then purchased the farm in Seward county, upon which he still lives, and after erecting a small house upon his place he commenced to break and improve his land. Soon acre after acre were placed under the plow and to-day he has a fine farm of two hundred acres under a high state of cultivation. His family arrived here in 1875. In 1846 Mr. McGowen was united in marriage with Miss Susan Coughlan, and they became the parents of the following children, namely: Thomas, Susan, Mary, John (deceased) and Anna, twins, George, Ellen and James. The wife and mother was called to her final rest in 1888, and two years later Mr. McGowen wedded Mary (Considine) Mungovan, who was born in Ireland and came to the United States in January, 1850.
