He died in Watsonville, Ca, around 1918 (not sure on the year), leaving 6 children and wife Margaret. Here are some notes that I had about Eugene, but he must have had another sibling: Eugene followed his brother John to NY (the latter was a priest in NY and missionary in Liberia) in 1830's and worked with leading dry-goods business, did well, went St Louis, and gold fever to SF in 1850. Found dry goods and banking house in SF, later the Donohue-Kelly Banking Co. First wife died 1848, married Margaret Hughs in 1857.
