Thanks very much for flagging this, Sharon.

It is excellent value. What a pity one cannot see the slides where the speaker (Susan Hood) is listing the various archives where the material is housed. Also, the speaker refers constantly to a syllabus which was issued to the participants. It seems that the syllabus was going to be reprinted but that the society has now decided not to reprint it. I'm going to write to the speaker to see whether there is any way to obtain these materials. Will let you know the outcome.

History of Buchanan County, Iowa. ed. C.S. Percival and E. Percival. Cleveland: William Bros., 1881 E. Tuohey was born in County Clare, Ireland, in the year 1838. He came to America in May, 1847; landed in New York; soon afterwards went to Canada; then, after some travelling and moving, finally settled in Middlefield township, in 1854, on the spot where he still resides. This makes Mr. Tuohey one of the oldest settlers in this township. In 1854, he entered forty acres of Government land. Since that time he has made several additions, and some sales, besides giving eighty acres to his son. He now owns three hundred acres of excellent land supplied with water and wood. Wolves and deer were abundant at the time he came here, and were frequently seen in large droves. Mr. Tuohey started poor, but now possesses a fine property, all acquired by his own work. He is now considered one of the wealthiest and prosperous citizens. Mr. Tuohey was married in County Clare, in 1838. They have twelve children, with names and ages as follows: John, aged twenty-four; Mary Ann, aged twenty-two; Lawrence, aged twenty-one; James, aged eighteen; Thomas, aged sixteen; Margaret, aged fourteen; Bridget, aged twelve; Jane, aged ten; Celia, aged eight; Edward, aged six; Agnes, aged four; William Francis, aged two. Mrs. Tuohey's mother, Mrs. Margaret Flannigan, is now living with her daughter. She is a native of Ireland, County Clare, and is now over seventy years of age. The family are Catholics. Mr. and Mrs. Tuohey brought up a large and industrious family. Their oldest daughter has taught five terms of school and is at present teaching in her home district. The family have many friends. Mr. Tuohey will build a new residence this season, large and convenient. Cathy Joynt Labath Irish in Iowa http://www.celticcousins.net/irishiniowa/index.htm

FYI - Not Related History of Butler and Bremer Counties, Iowa, Together with Biographies...Springfield, Ill.: Union Pub. Co., 1883 History of Bremer County Chapter XXV Leroy Township Early Settlement The first settlement was made in June, 1854, by Patrick O'Day, locating on section 2, where he yet lives; W.A. Moulton, Emmor Flood and Nelson Long, on section 13. Patrick O'Day was born February 15, 1824, in the parish of Parteen, county Clare, Ireland. He is the son of P. O'Day and Kate Frost, natives of the county Clare. In 1849, he emigrated with his family to America, landing in New York July 4, and without waiting any time started for the west, remaining in Chicago about three months, then went south and worked for Captain J.B. Eads upon a wrecking boat on the Mississippi river, making his home at St. Louis and New Orleans. He was married in Chicago in August, 1850, to Miss Mary Foley, daughter of Hugh F. and Bridget Foley, a native of county Clare, Ireland by whom he has had ten children - Robert, Hattie, Kate, Mary, William and Anne. About two years after marriage, Mr. O'Day came with his family to Bremer county, and settled on the land in Leroy township, where he has since resided. At the time of his coming to the township he found only one family. Mr. O'Day is one of the leading farmers of his township, has at the present time 613 acres of prairie, and 120 of timber. The year after Mr. O'Day came to America he was followed by his father, mother and three brothers, who came to Illinois, where his mother died, when they all came to Bremer county, his father dying April 16, 1876. Mr. O'Day has held several local offices; has always worked with the democratic party, but is now a greenbacker. Himself and family are members of the Catholic church.

Hello Paddy, What an inspiration & a pleasure it is to read the Delahunty Family History. Congratulations to Catherine.The story is so beautiful, easy to read and written with such warmth. I noticed that there was also the Casey Family History listed on the same page and I suppose that modesty prevented you from mentioning this fact! Paddy, it is a wonderful story and the way the various branches of the family contributed is in itself a lesson in perseverance for lesser researchers(me) and the way you have been able to bring it all together is brilliant. The present day Caseys are certainly an international family. Congratulations Paddy!

FYI - I am not related. History of Buchanan County, Iowa. ed. C.S. Percival and E. Percival. Cleveland: William Bros., 1881 Patrick Gallery was born in Clare county, Ireland, in 1825. In the year 1852 he came to the United States. He lived two years in Brooklyn, New York, then went to Massachusetts, where he lived, near Springfield, about fourteen years, working in a quarry and farming. In 1868 he moved to Buchanan county and purchased one hundred and sixty acres in Fremont. He has since added and now has four hundred acres in all, making a most excellent farm. The place was unimproved, but Mr. Gallery has made a superior farm of it. He built his house himself, and has a neat and pretty home in a fine location. He has a young orchard of over one hundred trees, and is making improvements continually. Mr. Gallery was married in 1856 to Miss Johanna McGrath, of Tipperary county, Ireland. They have five children, born as follows: James A., May 14, 1857; Ellen N., December 7, 1859; Daniel M., September 27, 1861; Francis P., November 12, 1863; Edmund, August 23, 1865. Mr. and Mrs. Gallery belong to the Catholic church. They are worthy citizens and have a fine home. Mr. Gallery is an industrious and business-like farmer; starting poor, he has built up a fine property by his own exertions. He is a man of intelligence and everywhere respected. History of Buchanan County, Iowa, and Its People. Harry Church and Katharyn J. Chappell. 2 vols. Chicago: S. J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1914. Edmond Gallery, a well known and representative agriculturist of Buchanan county, is the owner of one hundred and twenty-seven acres on section 34, Fremont township, and also has another tract embracing one hundred and forty acres on section 27 of the same township, cultivating all except twenty-six acres which he rents. His birth occurred in Springfield, Massachusetts, on the 23d of August, 1868, his parents being Patrick and Johanna (McGrath) Gallery, the former born in County Clare, Ireland, March 17, 1822, and the latter in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1828. Their marriage was celebrated in Springfield, Massachusetts, Patrick Gallery having emigrated to the United States as a young man of twenty-seven years. All of their children were born in the Bay state. In 1869 the family came to Iowa, locating on a farm in Buchanan county which the father operated until within six years of his demise, which occurred on the 7th of June, 1900. He had lived here for more than three decades and his death was the occasion of deep and widespread regret. His wife was called to her final rest on the 8th of September, 1908. In their family were five children, as follows: James, a resident of Winthrop; Ellen, the wife of Michael Hogan, of Paoli, Kansas; Daniel, a farmer living near Paoli, Kansas; Frank, a resident farmer of Fremont township; and Edmond, the subject of this review. Edmond Gallery was but little more than a year old when his parents established their home in this county and here he acquired his education. He remained on the home place until the time of his marriage and then started out as an agriculturist on his own account, having since operated the farm on which he resides at present. He cultivates the cereals best adapted to soil and climate and also raises and feeds stock, both branches of his business returning to him and a gratifying income. All of the improvements on the property stand as monuments to his enterprise and energy, and in its neat and thrifty appearance the place bespeaks the supervision of a practical and progressive owner. At Masonville, Delaware county, Iowa, Mr. Gallery was united in marriage to Miss Alice Larkins, who was born in Chicago in 1874, her parents being Edward and Delia (Ryan) Larkins. The father, a native of New York and a carpenter by trade, passed away at Flint, Michigan, March 3, 1875. In September, 1853, in Chicago, Illinois, he wedded Miss Delia Ryan, a native of Louth county, Ireland, by whom he had one child, Alice. The daughter was educated in Iowa, coming to this state with her mother following the death of the father. She was a teacher in the country schools for five years preceding her marriage. She has become the mother of nine children, as follows: Eleanor, who was graduated from the Notre Dame Convent, at Independence, Iowa, in 1913 and now a teacher in the Middlefield No. 2 school; Anna, who finished her studies in the Winthrop schools in 1914; Josie; Alice, Edmond; Francis; Elmer; Walter; and James. All of the children are still under the parental roof. Mr. Gallery gives his allegiance to the democracy, exercising his right of franchise in support of its men and measures. He is a devout communicant of the Catholic church and is identified fraternally with the Foresters. In the community where practically his entire life has been spent he is widely and favorably known, having in the course of his upright and honorable career gained recognition as a substantial and progressive farmer and a public-spirited and loyal citizen.

FYI - I am not related... History of Buchanan County, Iowa, and Its People. Harry Church and Katharyn J. Chappell. 2 vols. Chicago: S. J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1914. Michael R. Considine, a prominent factor in financial circles of Buchanan county, being vice president of the Jesup State Bank, is equally well known as a farmer and stockman of this section. He is a native son of the county, born on a farm in Perry township, September 8, 1867, his parents being Patrick and Ann (Crane) Considine, both of whom were natives of Ireland. In 1852 the father emigrated to Canada in company with two brothers, a sister and his parents, Patrick and Susan (Keane) Considine, natives of County Clare, Ireland. There Patrick Considine, Sr., and his three sons worked on a railroad for about five years during which time they carefully saved their money, and in 1856 the son Patrick, father of our subject, was sent to Iowa to buy a home for the family. Looking about for a suitable location, he decided upon Perry township, Buchanan county, as a desirable place in which to invest his money. He purchased a tract of one hundred and sixty acres near Littleton, and the following year he was joined by the other members of the household. Father and sons then bent their engines toward the improvement and development of the farm. In the course of time the sons married and established homes of their own, all becoming well-to-do farmers of Perry township. Patrick Considine, Sr., spent his remaining years on his farm in Perry township and there passed away. The mother of our subject, who bore the maiden name of Ann Crane, emigrated from Ireland to the United States in her girlhood, her arrival here being in the same year as that of Mr. Considine. They were married in this country and became the parents of four children. Through the death her husband Mrs. Considine was left with the care of her family but she managed to keep them together on the farm, carefully rearing them and giving them the advantages of an education such as were enjoyed in those early days. She is still living at the age of ninety years and now makes her home with her son Michael. She is a communicant of the Catholic church. The children are: Ellen, the wife of John Keane, a farmer of Black Hawk county, Iowa; Mary, who is single and makes her home with her brother, Michael; Thomas, who died at the age of seventeen years; and Michael R. of this review.| Michael R. Considine was deprived of a father's care at the age of two years but he was carefully reared by his mother, who is now in turn cared for by him. His older brother died when a youth of seventeen years, so that as soon as he was old enough the care of the farm devolved upon Michael. The place comprised one hundred and sixty acres, which he cultivated until 1912, when he rented the farm and with his mother and sister Mary removed to Jesup where they occupy a beautiful and substantial home. Prior to leaving the farm in 1901, Mr. Considine formed a partnership with Z.A. Comfort in buying and shipping stock, and he is still dealing in live stock, disposing of several carloads of cattle and hogs in the city markets each year. His business interests are varied, however, for in addition to his stock business he is acting as vice president of the Jesup State Bank of which he was one of the organizers and now is serving on the board of directors. He likewise owns stock in the telephone and creamery companies of the city. It was on the 28th of October, 1895, that Mr. Considine was married to Miss Bridget Meaney, who was born on the Emerald isle but in 1891 in company with a brother emigrated to the United States. Like the other members of the family Mr. Considine is a communicant of the Catholic church, while politically he supports the democratic party. For several years he has served as township trustee. He is an alert and enterprising business man, possessing all the requisite qualities of a sturdy Irish ancestry, and fully merits the high esteem in which he is held alike by business and social friends. History of Buchanan County, Iowa, and Its People. Harry Church and Katharyn J. Chappell. 2 vols. Chicago: S. J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1914. Thomas Considine is well known as a pioneer of Buchanan county and Perry township for he has been identified with the agricultural interests in this section since 1857, covering a period of fifty-seven years. He was born in County Clare, Ireland, September 14, 1842, a son of Patrick and Susan (Keane) Considine, who were likewise natives of County Clare. Patrick Considine followed farming in his native county and in 1852, in company with his wife, three sons and one daughter, left the Emerald isle for Canada, the family home being established in Hamilton. There father and sons worked on the railroad for a few years. Their greatest ambition was to get to the United States and make for themselves a good home. To this end they worked diligently and saved their earnings, and in September, 1856, the son, Patrick, Jr., was sent out to invest in farm land. He decided upon Buchanan county, Iowa, as a desirable place in which to live and purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres near Littleton, in Perry township. He then joined the other members of the family in Canada, but the following year they came to this state, though for several months they worked on the railroad, in the meantime making their home in Dyersville. In December of 1857 they took up their abode upon the newly acquired farm and at once undertook the task of breaking and developing land in this then new and largely unsettled region. The father remains on this place throughout the remainder of his life and passed away at the advanced age of ninety-two years. The mother died in 1878 at the age of seventy. He was a democrat in his political views and both he and his wife were devout members of the Catholic church. Their four children were as follows: Patrick, who engaged in farming in Buchanan county and died at the age of thirty-eight years; Michael, who was also engaged in farming in that section and died at the age of seventy-three; Thomas, of this review; and Margaret, the widow of Michael Cunningham, and a resident of Waterloo, Iowa. Thomas Considine was in his tenth year when the family left the land of their nativity for Canada, so that his early education was acquired in the latter place. He worked as a water boy for the railroad company and was a youth of fifteen years when the family home was established in Buchanan county, subsequent to which time he continued his studies in the schools of Littleton. He remained on the home farm until he had reached the age of twenty-seven years, when he established a home of his own by his marriage. He purchased a part of his present farm property in Perry township and has added to it until the place now embraces two hundred and seventy-three acres. He has improved his property with substantial buildings and now owns one of the most valuable and up-to-date farms in that section of Buchanan county. Mr. Considine has been married twice. His first union was with Miss Bridget Meany, the marriage ceremony being performed January 31, 1870. She was a native of County Clare, Ireland, and in 1866, during her girlhood, emigrated to the United States. She passed away January 6, 1879, leaving two children: Charles James, who is associated with his father in the operation of the farm; and Mary, who died at the age of fifteen years, on the 12th of November, 1885. For his second wife Mr. Considine chose Mrs. Annie (Nolan) Brown, whom he wedded April 30, 1880. She was born in County Wexford, Ireland, and was there reared and married, after which she came with her husband to the United States and located in Freeport, Illinois. Later their home was established in Winthrop, Iowa, and it was in that city that Mr. Brown's death occurred. The widow then made her home in Independence, Iowa, until her marriage to Mr. Considine. By this union there is a son and a daughter: Thomas Joseph, who is still with his parents; and Frances Margaret, the wife of James Meany, a resident farmer of Perry township. In politics an ardent democrat, Mr. Considine has always manifested a deep concern in public affairs, although he has persistently refused to accept public position at the hands of his fellow citizens. He and his family are communicants of the Catholic church. It was the pioneers who through their patience and energy and their wise foresight organized and built up a community here which in its general prosperity, its orderly society, the pleasantness of its homes and the intelligence and moral tone of its people is all that goes to make up a desirable civilization, and in this work Thomas Considine took a large part. In the fifty-seven years that have passed since he took up abode in Buchanan county, he has witnessed many changes and now in the evening of life he can enjoy many comforts, as the result of a life spent in usefulness and activity. At the age of seventy-two years he is still hale and hearty and is surrounded by a host of warm friends who entertain for him the highest respect and esteem.
