He came to this country fifty years ago. He was married to Johanna Costello at St. Mary's Church September 10, 1864. He worked many years at the Chelsea Paper Co. and at many other places thereafter. He had not been employed during the past three years. He was a trustee of St. Mary's for 14 years. Additional Comments: From other sources I believe he was born in Ballingarry.
