HE WAS THE MAYOR IN PLATTSMOUTH NE DURING THE YEARS OF 1881 & 1882 - PASSED WHILE IN OFFICE. HE WAS MARRIED TO ANNIE GILMORE AND HAD FOUR CHILDREN - MARY H, JOHN JR, JOSPEH AND ANNIE. RECORDS SHOW THAT ANNIE (WIFE PASSED IN 1884) - ARE YOU RELATED IN SOME WAY? I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING WHAT THE TOWN REFERENCES AS THE OLD MAYORS MANSION -THE O'ROURKE HOUSE AND LOOKING FOR PHOTO'S OF CAPTAIN O'ROUKE. I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN HE FIRST IMIGRATED TO THE US HE SETTLED IN WISCONSIN - POSSIBLY WITH A BROTHER??? ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
