Family History Researcher:
Grandpa died of leukemia Big, powerful man was suddenly taken. I think he was only in the hospital a week or soHe was a believer in education and personally went to St. Paul to the legislature to lobby for "proper" schools in the township..Thompson township, Carleton County. He had bought 80 acres of land which had been the headquarters of the logging camp from his brother in law, John Sullivan married to his sister Margaret ( this is the branch of the family that is in Florida...John went up to the Yukon and disappeared in the gold rush --we found his last letters in a safe built into the huge log walls of our house when we remodeled when Dad bought the house also the father of Sister Maureen (nee Helen Harney) Psychiatrist/head of school in D.C.and also home base at college I attended) and the surrounding lands, logged and cleared was sold off as farm land and a colony of Finns bought up the surrounding lands...so it follows that the original teachers were not too highly educated Finns..and that wouldn't do for Grandpa...(Although he was loved and truly liked and revered by his neighbors..He had the personality that Mal had and that I see in both Paige & Dirck...they sort of "sparkle" among their peers and "like" everyone when they first meet them..sort of with joy..social people, finding little fault in others.......I have the pictures...and they have them in the museum in Esko..)I guess I don't have to tell you who became the beloved teacher of the first one room school in Harney/Esko....It was your Dad. My Dad said he was the best teacher he ever had. The school was up from the farm on the Himango/North Rd. Tom was kind and patient even with young siblings and a truly good teacher.I shared a lot opf this Harney information with Linda Harney MacDonaldat www. harneyworld@netscape.net she did 62 issues of the newsletter before she quit in 2002. Her address is 1269 Road 9, Powell Wy 82435Top of the mornin to you/and the rest of the day for yourself:He was my great friend. Born June 14, 1864 in Thurles Ireland. (David Harney took a picture of the church where he was baptized among others which I cherish and sent me a copy). He came to this country at age 11 with his family. They had horses and after a brief time in upper state New York (apples) they came down the great lakes on their way to the Dakotas...which was where the land was said to be so great!.But they were not destitute as so many Irish and had brought horses with them from Ireland and when they got to Duluth, the city was laying out the streets and so got jobs using their horses to lay out streets. Luckily as that is where Jim met Anna.His father, John had married Catherine Long in Thursles, County Tipperary,Ireland and they had 7 children (they brought all of them with from Ireland). I have the classic family picture taken when Grandpa was 23 and in the picture he looks just like my son, Dirck I was delighted to see. Grandpa was very good looking.. A big man, and as Mal says in his writings, very strong (an Irish hurler). I saw that tremendous strength in my father, brother and now in my son..unbelievable strength.Grandpa smoked a pipe. Of course, he had to sit on the back porch to do so and so it was fun for us kids to sit around his chair. He worked long hours and his farm was perfected by clearing all the land and putting stone fences all around. He loved his horses. And I remember he had a special horse barn (which had been the basis of the Sullivan lumber company) where he kept them..huge beasts..and the joy of being 6 years old was when he let me take the reins.. He was very proud of his grandchildren and I often got to walk the farm with him, big man that he was, he seemed like a giant to me. but where he had been strict with his own kids, he was a push over for his grandchildren.He drove like a race car driver...never under 60-70 miles an hour and my mother dreaded driving with them. She would sit in the back seat in a corner clutching my sister and I. He put Grandma's head through the windshield on one occasion making his turn off the highway...she got out and walked the mile home.. Windshield was destroyed Front end all bent in a ditch. My mother never got over that...she took it worse than Grandma..He died August 19, 1939, We had been at the hospital the day before, strange to see him in that hospital bed, labored breathing..(.I had my first lamb for dinner in the hospital cafeteria..and have never eaten it since) when they told us the next day that he had died, my Dad went to sit quietly...he was White of face and devastated!.. they loved their Dad.They had the wake at the farm. I remember your family was there and Tommy dared us (Pat & Tim & Marj & me) to touch Grandpa's hand in the coffin... and I remember , KNOWING That I was 6 weeks older than Tommy, I didn't hesitate a minute..neither did Tommy but the other kids all took off and wouldn't go in the parlor were the coffin was.The Harney family lived in Duluth so I got to know many of them...2 of them were professors at the College I attended.. so we had numerous funerals, family gatherings, etc. In 1996, Sister Maureen celebrated her diamond jubilee and so her immediate family, from Florida came for the ceremony...so I got to meet them and take pictures, etc.I also got to hear Sister tell of how she loved "Grandma Catharine"..etc.. first hand account!There was a Haney family news letter, discontinued now but I kept them up to date with our family ( It was not a family secret that when Grandpa (who worked the police department in Duluth and was foreman at the docks in Duluth...I have the pictures would stop on his way home and have a pint at the pub..) Anna belonged to the St. Mathew sect of Ireland and we were not even allowed soda pop in her house as "it had the spirits of the devil within it"..as apparently anything with a bottle cap had... I used to note in amazement, how her sons,, all successful men, would come home once a year, never have a drink or smoke in her house but all could nap in their chairs....even when they hadn't seen each other for a year.
I will send you more Grandpa stories as I think of them.
Happy St. Pat's day, Marion .

Date: 4/21/2002 9:10:33 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: harneyworld@netscap e.net To: jaywilpolt@aol.comHi again, I just replied, then noticed something that may be of intere st to you. I show James Harney's parents are John Harney and Catherine Lon g. Your letter had "Lolig?" as her surname. The original record must ha ve had poor handwriting.John Harney was a farmer from the parish of Shyane, Coolgarane, Thurles Ti pperary, Ireland. Coolgarrane is 3.25 Irish miles NNE of Thurles. He w as born Feb 1835, and immigrated to the US around 1877. His children: Jam es, and Thomas (twins), Mary, Margaret, Michael and John were all bo rn in Ireland (Civil birth records).It appears there is an older son named Richard also who came to this count ry too, but his birth record in Ireland has not been found. He is found li ving near this family on all the records. A family member emailed me th at they thought there was another daughter named Catherine but I have fou nd no records on her as yet. Linda
From Linda Harney Files; JOHN HARNEY (1835- d.after 1905); John Harne y, he was born in Ireland, February 1835. He married Catharine "Kate" Lon g. and they had the following children: Thomas and James (twins, b.1865, I reland); Mary (Mrs. Mike) Sullivan; Margaret (Mrs. Frank) JORDAN; Micha el J (b.1872) and John T. (b.1875, Ire.); Catherine?; and possibly Richa rd Harney (b.c.1864). The family, who were from the parish of Shyane, Coo lgarrane, Thurles, Tipperary, Ireland, immigrated to Wisconsin, later set tling in Minnesota. John purchased 160 acres of land (Sec.9, T 56N R 20 W) 3 Oct 1888, and another 160 acres (Sec.9, T 63N R 8W), 4 June 1890, acc ording to BLM land records. John & Catharine lived in Duluth, St. Louis C ounty (1900 and 1905 censuses). Their family has his name as James John Ha rney, but he is shown as John on the Irish and American records found by t his researcher. Chart ref: MNJKL.WES.

>> Grand pa celebrated his birthday on the 23rd and he told me himself thathe was 11 years old when he came to this country. Perhaps the baptismal
date is the "birthday" recognized by the Church.> Yes, I remember when he died..the many trips to St. Mary's hospital inDuluth. In fact, Dad and I were there when he died..I heard a strangenoise..first "dead rattle" I ever heard. First time I ever had lamb too,in hospital cafeteria. It was awful!... and when he died they had a wakeat the farm....all the cousins were there. Mary Catherine and Tommy, Patand Tim and Jimmy and Marj and me..John wasn't born until November.Grandpa lay in state in the parlor while people streamed in and out. Nodrinking of course as Anna Ryan was in charge. But Tommy, ever the daredevil, dared me to touch Grandpa's hand when no one was there..and ofcourse, I did..not to be outdone by Tommy as I was 6 weeks older than hi m.Pat and Tim and Marj and JImmy didn't dare. We had a wild time, wecousins...all too young to know what was going on. First time I ever sawmy Dad cry...tears streamed down his face. Your mother carried you aroundas you were only about 5 months old. And we had a score of religious. I
still have pictures of the nuns in their immense habits.
>> My name was changed by Monsignor Lamair when I was baptized at Sacredheart in Cloquet. The FRENCH priest, much to Anna's horror, filled theslip out with the French spelling "Marion" and my mother, marrying aCatholic and awed by the whole process (she a Norweigian Lutheran) andhaving promised at marriage to raise the kids Catholic, followed thatspelling!!! In fact the misspelling of my name set a precedent and on theNorweigen side, Grandma JOhnson changeed her name from Maryannne to Marion ,her daughter was Marion, and I have a cousing Marion and now I have agrandaughter Marion...Your mother knew Father Lammier well.. I am not sureof the spelling but I am sure it is on Jimmy's birth certifcate too.
