FYI- Not related. Rice, James M. Peoria, City and County, Illinois: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Co, 1912. JAMES GAUL The spirit of romance is an eccentric and capricious thing. We are accustomed to think that we must go to the lives of the kings and noblemen of ancient time, to the warriors of the middle ages, to the knights of the Round Table, to the old lands of fair women and brave men, before we meet in its truth and beauty. But the spirit of romance is all about us. It finds its place in the most commonplace histories, in the lives of plain business men, in the humble homes of a city. The life history of the subject of this sketch, James Gaul, holds its share of the glamour of romance. It reaches back to ancient times, when the old Gauls swarmed into Briton and Ireland and settled there, in the time of Caesar. Mr. Gaul traces his name and his descent to these ancient warriors, who conquered by strength of arms, and founded a mighty country as a result of their deeds. There is a curious story current in the annals of James Gaul's family that a tribe of these warriors left Ireland for Asia Minor, after the invasion of Caesar, where they flourished to such an extent that the country became over-populated, and the men were obliged to draw lots to see which should set out with their families for a new country. After the drawing of lots, the little band went down to the sea in flimsy ships, and after many hardships and much loss of life, the survivors landed in America and were positively the first inhabitants of this country, and the ancestors of the American Indians which Columbus found here on his arrival. The story is unsubstantiated, but has subsisted in the Gaul family for many generations, and its claim to truth gained force when fifty years ago and old Indian, one hundred years of age, died on an Oklahoma reservation, claiming to have been a direct descendant of one of the Gauls of that little band. The family in Peoria today is represented by the subject of this sketch, James Gaul, and his brothers, John and David Gaul. James Gaul was born in Peoria on November 16, 1858. His father was John Gaul, a native of Kilkenny, Ireland, where there are still many families of his name. John Gaul came to America in 1842 and settled in Louisville, Kentucky, where he married Miss Ellen Phelan. They came to Peoria in 1847, and opened a little bakery at 514 Merriam street. Later this shop was moved to 313 Merriam street, where the family resided, and where the father died in 1882. James Gaul, the subject of this sketch, was educated in the public schools of Peoria, finishing the eighth grade in the old Sixth Ward school, which is now the Webster. When he was twelve years old, he left school and entered his father's bakery, where he was employed until his father died, when he opened a saloon and grocery store at 313 Merriam street. In this business he continued for three years, when he was appointed by Mayor Warner as meat inspector, which office he held for two years. He held successively several government positions. He was guard at the house of correction, and was appointed by Grover Cleveland as government store keeper under Wilson in 1887. In 1888, he opened a butcher store at 317 Merriam street, and inside of a year this business had expanded into two shops, the other being at 915 Hurlburt street. The following year, he traded his two shops for a fine farm in Fulton county, near Middle Grove, where he moved and gave his attention to farming for five years. He returned to Peoria after this period as manager of the real-estate business of his brother John Gaul. This business was originally located in the German Fire Insurance building, but it now occupies beautiful offices on the eleventh floor of the Jefferson building. Mr. Gaul's business ability is remarkable. He is bold and aggressive, but cool and prudent; wide-reaching, but exact; prompt to the minute in all engagements; instant in his intuitions of men's characters; a natural negotiator, a keen and concise talker; at work early and late; always coming out right in practical results. He has added many departments to his brother's business, until it now includes a renting agency, an agency for farm lands, a guaranty rent agency, and a department for the care of estates. Besides these activities, Mr. Gaul is also connected with his brother David in a house-building business. On May 15, 1905, at St. Charles Catholic church, in Bloomington, Indiana, occurred the marriage of James Gaul and Miss Grace Olive Duncan, of that city. Mrs. Gaul is a charming woman, and has won hosts of friends in her husband's native city. Politically, Mr. Gaul owes allegiance to no party. He votes independently for the best man. He subscribes to no religious doctrines except the doctrine of broad-minded tolerance for all men. Masterful men always forge ahead. In tribal conditions they become chiefs; in war they are generals; in politics, the statesmen and party leaders; in the professions, they command the honor of their fellowmen; in journalism, they control public opinion; and in business they rise from nothing to be financiers, merchants, millionaires. Mr. Gaul has still many years of life before him. If the beginning of his life shadows forth the end, the badge of preeminence among his fellows is already his.

Her husband, Matthew J. Tobin, preceded her in death Jan. 11, 1911, a pioneer of Scott and one of the extensive landholders of the county.

Davenport Daily Leader; Davenport, Scott, Iowa; November 29, 1893 A PIONEER GONE Death of a Respected Resident of Davenport for Fifty-Three Years. All of the old settlers of this city and county as well as those of a later day, will hear with regret the announcement of the death of Walter Kelly, an old and respected resident of Davenport, which took place at 9:50 o'clock Wednesday morning at his residence Iowa street. Mr. Kelly came here in 1840, fifty-three years ago, so that he belonged to the original "pioneer," who include all those who settled in this locality before Dec. 31, 1840. His death therefore is the snapping of another link of the living chain that joins Davenport's past and present together. In 1840, when Mr. Kelly came to this city, it numbered only about 500 inhabitants and Scott county about 2,500. Chicago was five days distant and it took thirteen days to get from here to New York. Iowa was then a territory having been cut off from Wisconsin only two years previous, and it did not become a state for six years after Mr. Kelly settled in this community. These few items will show to Davenporters of the present generation the state of affairs then existing in this part of Iowa. The deceased pioneer was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, on June 29, 1814, so that the time of his demise he was aged 79 years, 4 months and 23 days. He came to this country in September, 1835, the same fall that Antoine LeClaire, Col. George Davenport and six others met and decided to lay out a town site for Davenport. Mr. Kelly had two brothers living in Detroit, one being a Catholic priest, Rev. Patrick Kelly, and the other named Michael. He accordingly went to Detroit, where he remained for three years, there learning his trade as a moulder. After this he went to Chicago, where he worked at his trade for two years, thence coming in 1840 to Davenport, where he had been preceded for a couple of years by two other brothers, James and Thomas, whose presence in this city determined his coming here. Mr. Kelly engaged in such occupations as Davenport afforded in those early days, for a dozen years, part of the time working in the packing house of Burrows & Prettyman. In 1852 he entered into partnership with a namesake, though no relative, Bartholomew Kelly, under the firm name of B. & W. Kelly. The firm conducted a general business, handling various lines of goods, and their store was one of the most extensive and handsomely equipped in the state. It occupied what old settlers knew as the Bazaar block, corner of Front and Brady streets, directly south of the present wholesale house of J.F. Kelly & Co. In 1857 the firm of B. & W. Kelly was dissolved and Walter Kelly and James Roche entered another, which lasted for a short time, however, Mr. Roche retiring, and Mr. Kelly continuing the business as sole proprietor. In 1884 Mr. Kelly retired from business. He had accumulated by his industry and energy an honorable competence and the last decade of his life was thus one of well-deserved leisure and contentment. Mr. Kelly was married Feb. 5, 1845, to Miss Mary McNamara, the ceremony being performed by the reverend Father John A. Pelamourges at St. Anthony's church. Mrs. Kelly survives the partner of her wedded life for almost half a century. The children who also survive are John F. and William F. Kelly, the members of the wholesale house of J.F. Kelly & Co., Thos. E. Kelly and Mrs. E.T. Rohm, of this city, and Mrs. J.S. Stiles and Mrs. E.W. Gale of Chicago. Mr. Kelly was a quiet and unassuming citizen and though his claims on the community entitled him to political honors, he did not seek them. He consented only once to stand for an office, being elected alderman for the Fifth ward in 1862, serving two years during the mayoralty of Hon. Geo. W. French. Mr. Kelly's venture proved uniformly lucrative, so that from a financial standpoint his business career was crowned with success. Furthermore in his sons and daughters he leaves behind him a legacy of honored and influential members of society. The funeral took place Saturday with services at St. Anthony's church at 9 o'clock. Interment was in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

FYI - Not related. Davenport Daily Leader; Davenport, Scott, Iowa; Thursday, December 19, 1895 OBITUARY HALLIGAN At the family residence, 725 Perry street, today at 1:40 a.m. occurred the death of an old and respected resident of Davenport, Patrick J. Halligan. His demise is a sad shock to his family, coming entirely unforeseen as the result of an accident. Last Saturday about 1 o'clock Mr. Halligan was going north on Harrison street, and on reaching Fourth street noticed a wagon coming along in his direction just as he started to cross. His vision being impaired in one eye by senile cataract, he failed to notice a horse driven to a buggy coming in an opposite direction. He advanced therefore and the buggy horse dashed against Mr. Halligan with great force, hurling him violently to the pavement, his head striking against the iron step at the crossing, cutting an ugly gash vertically down the forehead through the eyebrow, and inflicting a severe contusion on the cheek. Mr. Halligan was helped to his feet by sympathetic bystanders and removed to his home, where medical skill was summoned to his aid. On complaining of severe pain in his chest, he was examined thoroughly, and no ribs were found fractured, neither were there any external signs of the terrific blow he had received on the right side from the moving horse. He, with the family, desired nothing said about the occurrence, as it was evident that it was entirely accidental and as no serious results were expected. Wednesday, however, heart weakness suddenly developed, induced by the congested state of the lungs, occasioned by the shock, and a rapid decline followed until death occurred as stated. Mr. Halligan was the son of John and Mary Young Halligan, who after their marriage moved from England, the county of their birth, to Ireland, locating at Summerhill, Meath county, Ireland. Here the lately deceased was born, on Aug. 31, 1825, and remained until his twenty-fourth year. At the age of twenty he left the Episcopal fold and became a Catholic, adhering to that faith the rest of his life. He left the old country in 1819, arriving in New York on July 15. He was married the next year, on Oct. 27, 1849, in Patterson, N.J., going thence to Peru, Ill. After two years he came to Davenport, arriving here on Aug. 17, 1853. After a few years passed in other occupations, Mr. Halligan entered the employ of the Davenport Gas company, where he remained for about thirty years as collector and general foreman. There survive to mourn his loss his wife and six children, John, James, Thomas, William, Mary and Joseph. The funeral takes place Friday morning with services at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 9 o'clock. Interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery. Cathy Joynt Labath Irish in Iowa http://www.celticcousins.net/irishiniowa/index.htm Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/index.htm
