    3. I've been trying to find some biographical information about a former City Councilman in Cleveland. Peter GOLDRICK was elected to the City Council in 1875 as the representative from the 5th Ward and served for 2 years. He died on May 10, 1886. I am trying to locate some personal information about him -- such as the county he came from in Ireland and the names of his siblings who also lived in Cleveland. Thanks to a very kind person on this list, I have his obituaries which only give information about his death, his funeral and his pall bearers but nothing about him personally, other than that 2 of his children preceded him in death. A group of former and present councilmen met in the council chambers and proceeded in a body to St. John's Cathedral for his funeral. I think some of them may have been pall bearers, because none of them appear to have been family. It seems to me he must have been fairly prominent, so there must be SOME information on him somewhere. I found an old article which states that he was a member of the Hibernian Guards which enlisted in the Civil War, but he is not listed on the Roster for Co. "B" of the 8th OVI. Can anyone give me suggestions as to some other sources which might contain a bit more biographical information? Thanks... Janet in N.J.
