Date: 4/09/2003 2:13:29 PM Pacific Standard Time From: gclhsar@hotmail.comDear Mr. Wilpolt, I have received your request for the obituary on Bert ha Matilde Harney and it is in the mail to you. Thank you for your genero us payment. I noticed on her obituary that she was survived by her husba nd Leo, so we know he was alive as of 1/30/80. And I also noticed that wh ile the the Rosary was held here in Hot Springs the body was actually buri ed in Forbes, Minnesota. Is it possible that once Leo died he was buri ed next to her, somewhere in Forbes? If so then the tombstone would ha ve a confirmed date of death on it. Are you sure he died in Hot Spring s, Arkansas? I spoke to the funeral home which handled her service local ly and they do not have a record for Leo or John James Harney. I don't kn ow what else to suggest, I hope this is helpful to you. If I can be of fu rther assistance please let
me know.Sherri UngererGarland County Library

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.

Family History Researcher:
Daniel J. Ryan and Winnefred Powers came to the United States about 185 0. Daniel Ryan came from Castleconnell, Co. Limerick and Winnefred Powe rs came from Killaloe, Co. Clare. They were married April 6, 1856 in Chic opee, Massachusetts. They came to Buchanan, Wisconsin in the autumn of 18 57. They purchased Lot 7 of section 24, the deed of which was recorded Ap ril 7, 1858, in viol. 20D, p 79, Outagamie County records. This 80 acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees,particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured 20 to 50 fee t. He cut down these trees with an axe. He and Winnefred with a cross-c ut saw, sawed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them togeth er into piles. The farm stumps measured 5 feet in diameter. They also c ut white and red oak fence rails 15 feet in length without a knot or spli t, and as straight as a line. He began to clear his 80 acres, building a one story log hous e, 12 X 16 feet, with two half windows and one door. The timber used he h ewed himself. A few months later he purchased a team of oxen for whi ch he built a small log stable. Later he bought a cow, and gradually addi ng to his stock of farm implements as he could afford them. About 1864 he built the house that they lived in. It was the first f rame house in the township of Buchanan, and about the same time erect ed a frame barn 32 X 50, shingled with split shingles, some of which sti ll remain in a good state of preservation. The lumber for these buildin gs was ripped by a sawmill about 2 miles east of the Ryan homestead. In 1 893 he built a frame house on a piece of land adjoining the home farm, a nd there he lived during his remaining years, passing away in February 2 4, 1907. His wife, Winnefred died October 16, 1903. They are both buri ed at St. Mary's Cemetery in South Kaukauna.. Although Daniel Ryan w as a very well known and influential man in his community, he devoted a ll of his time to his farming interests and never aspired to public prefer ment. In 1875 he bought Lot 8, section 24, which had hundreds of large mapl es. These maples measured from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Annualy for yea rs he made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supply them f or the coming year. During the Spring season it was not uncommon for the pioneers to wa lk to Green Bay to purchase necessities. In the early 70's the roads, whe re possible, were laid out on the lot or section lines. Winnefred (Powers) Ryan died on October 16, 1903 in the afterno on in her home in the Town of Buchanan. She had been an invalid through r heumatism for some time. Pneumonia settled in a few days prior to her dea th. Daniel Ryan became a citizen of the United States on November 29th, 1 870. On the day of his funeral it was snowing and the road into the farm w as full of snow. The Paper Mill had the whole shift of workers come and c lear the road so that the funeral could proceed from the house to the chur ch. After they cleared the road the workers went back to their jobs. Daniel Ryan's brother, Timothy Ryan left Ireland and went to Californ ia,and later settled in Seattle, Washington. He also had a brother Micha el Ryan who went to Sonora, California. Daniel Ryan adopted Michael Ryan 's three children February 1st 1879. He also had a brother Thomas Ryan w ho was in the Chicago area at one time. He also had a sister Bridgit, w ho went to California and married a Patrick McNamara and at one time liv ed in Knights Ferry, California. [WFT54PaulRyan.FTW]]

Kaukauna Times dated 3/10/1905; William Kennedy, the venerable white hair ed sage of Appleton, in a communication to the Appleton Crescent, pays t he following tribute to the late Daniel Ryan of the town of Buchanan

News Mention:
William Kennedy, the venerable white-haired sage of Appleton, in a communication to the Appleton Crescent, pa ys the following tribute to the late Daniel Ryan, of the town of Buchanan:
A few days ago in the town of Buchanan a person passed away from this life, and since then I have been thinking of this man, whom I have known intimately for more than 30 years; and it appears to me that he is entitled to something more than the mere Obituary Notice the papers record, especially to the men of lowly life. This man was in many ways a remarkable man: to be sure he was not very extensively known outside of the locality in which he died; he was not in evidence at political meetings or public gatherings of any kind; he was simple and unostentations in his life, but he was diligent in his chosen occupation and he was always in evidence at his church on Sundays and holidays. The face reveals the character of the man and this man's face revealed in naturally fine intellect with which with proper culture and favorable opportunities might have won him distinction. He was born in the year 1820, in Castle Connel, in County Limerick, Ireland, within the short distance of the city of the violated treaty. Castle Connel has been a distinguished place for more than 1000 years, it still contains the ruins of those strange structures erected there before the Middle ages. During this man's residence there the peasantry believed that it was a favorite haunt of the fairies, and perhaps it would be well, if their successors in our days would believe so still. A little bit of imagination does not do anybody any harm. This man arrived in America at the age of 30 years, and he first located near the city of Springfield Mass., where he married, and where he continued to resided until the year 1856 when came to the town of Buchanan where he has lived since. While in Massachusetts he was the employ of a retired merchant, who had been so attached to him that he offered to double its compensation if he would remain permanently with him. The men among whom this man was born, among whom he lived until he was 30 years of age were in many ways remarkable men. O'Connell use to call them (and he knew) "the finest peasantry under the sun." It was their fathers, according to the Duke of Wellington, that saved the British Empire from destruction, and historians of England concede it. These men were distinguished for the absolute purity of their morals. They knew little of sin, because they had but little conception of it. They bore some resemblance at least, to the holy man that hourly worship at the altars of God. They were loyal to their friends; they had a tender hearts; they were frugal and laborious in their lives, and they kept the faith in which they were born. The man of whom I am speaking inherently inherited the qualities of these men and they continued with him through his life. Nor are they likely to pass away with his life, because he has left behind him those of his own blood who have inherited from his virtues; and they are certain to be perpetuated through them for many years to come. This man was not rich. He was simply in comfortable circumstances for his vocation in life. But if the Palace has its pleasures, and the cottage is not without its felicities: and God, after all is not inequitable and the distribution of his gifts.
"Princes and lords may flourish and may fade, a breath may take them as a breath hat has made, but a bold peasantry, their country's pride, when once destroyed can never be supplied."
He was an Irishman that wrote these lines. He is known to the world of our days as Oliver Goldsmith. But in his days his friends, for short, used call him "Poor Goldy." And it would be well especially for Irishman, and for that matter, for all men, to occasionally looked in the books that Goldsmith wrote. All that is mortal of the man that I am talking about peacefully lies in the churchyard in the town of Buchanan adjacent to the church in which he worshiped in life, and there they will remain forever. In the years, of course, he will be forgotten; but the place he lies will not be forgotten by God, because the spot that entombs the ashes of a good man remains consecrated ground forever. But who is this good man of whom I have been speaking? His name is Daniel Ryan. - WILLIAM KENNEDY.

Letter:
This letter has been passed down from Winifred Powers Ryan's to her descendants. With a bit of research, we are able to identify a few of the persons mentioned in the letter. This is also one of the strongest pieces of "evidence" that Winifred's mother, Mary Cox, was the sister to Patrick Cox, who also settled in Holland town in the late 1850's. Winifred is listed in the 1850 Census in Chicopee, Massachusetts, age 18, living with Catharine Cox and her children. They would be her Aunt and cousins.

The letter writer would most likely be Katherine Cox, born about 1854 in Connecticut, daughter of Patrick Cox (born 1831, son of Patrick Cox born 1788) and Alice McDonald. This Patrick stayed on the East Coast and is found in the 1880 Census in Waterbury, Connecticut, listed as a Liquor Dealer with his daughter Katie (24) and son William (19)

Katherine doesn't mention the name of her husband in the letter and more research is needed to find her marriage record.

The Ella and Katie Ringrose mentioned in the letter would be Katherine "Katie" Ringrose born Berlin, Hartford County, Connecticut, and her sister Ellen Ringrose born about December 1854 in Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. These two sisters would have been 1st cousins, once removed of Winifred (Powers) Ryan. Their mother was Anne (Cox) Ringrose (1818-1904) and their father Maurice Ringrose (1820-1882). The Ringrose family farmed in Greenville in Outagamie County until about 1880 when they moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota and became one of the founding families of that town.

Called To Their Reward - Mrs. Daniel Ryan Answers the Call The passing away of a pioneer always leaves a void in a community that con not ever be filled - and this is so much more evident when an old resident passes away who has been a good citizen and a christian. Such a being, in the person of Mrs. Daniel Ryan, passed to her reward in the unknown, at her home in the town of Buchanan, Friday afternoon. For the past year Mrs. Ryan had been an invalid through rheumatism, the final end being brought about by a slight cold that the enfeebled frame was unable to withstand.Mrs. Daniel Ryan whose maiden name was Winnefred Bowers(sic), was born at Killaloe, County Clare, Ireland, May 31, 1831 and came to this country in January 1850. She was united in marriage to Daniel Ryan, at Chicopee, Massachusetts on April 6, 1856, and one year later came west with her usband, the couple locating in the heart of the wilderness in the town of Buchanan on the farm where they have since made their home.Mrs. Ryan was a christian lady and it is with a feeling of intense pride that the SUN prints the following endorsement of her worth, taken from the Appleton Daily Crescent:"Mrs. Ryan was a woman possesed of all of the virtues which made the pioneer woman of this county and abiding force whose influence still remains strong in the civilization which they helped win from the early wilderness. Energetic, warm-hearted, charitable, helpful, of domestic tastes and devoted to her family, her life which is now ended was one of usefulness and christian living. Of such as her was ir said " Her children shall rise up and call her blessed."She leaves to mourn her death her venerable husband and seven children, as follows: Thomas H. Ryan, Appleton; Malachi, Daniel Ryan and Miss Winnifred Ryan, Buchanan; Dr. M.C. Ryan, Marion, Wis.; Mrs Peter Cripps and Mrs James Harney, Duluth.

Biography:
From 'The History of Buchanan" by Thomas Ryan circa 1942?...(starting at page 6) ...The year round wild animals and game drank t he sulphur water. The writer, who was born seventy-five years ago in a l og house built on Lot 7. Section 24, recalls seeing, when a young lad, thr ee large basswood trees growing from a single base or stump and extendi ng upwards forty feet or more without a branch, near said red sulphur spri ng. Away up in the branches someone had constructed a platform conceal ed by the limbs, branches, and leaves. Access to this platform vas ma de by ascending short wooden planks which had been spiked, like step s, to the side of the trees. On this platform the hunter waited till t he deer or other wild animals came to drink. The fact that the Indian fiel ds were recorded by the surveyors of the town of Buchanan, is almost concl usive of the fact that Township 21, Range 18 and 19E south of the river w as covered by a dense growth of timber, but it does not throw any lig ht in the kind of timber which flourished here at the time of the survey.The writer's parents, Daniel and Winnefred Ryan, shortly after their marri age in Chicopee, Massachusetts, came to Buchanan in the autumn of 1857. T hey purchased Lot 7 of Section 24, the deed of which was recorded Apr il 7, 1858 in Vol. 20 D, P. 79 Outagamie County Records. This 80-acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured twenty to fif ty feet. Some of the stumps measured five feet in diameter. Mr. Ryan c ut down these trees with an ax, He and Mrs. Ryan, with a cross-cut saw, sa wed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them together into pile s. They then piled limbs and branches thereon and burned the piles. Corr oborative of their statement I myself, have seen our farm stumps which mea sured five feet in diameter, also white and red Oak fence rails 15 fe et in length without a knot and split as straight as a line. Part of L ot 6 of said section 24 was owned by Wm. Lamure and was not cleared of i ts timber until I was a young man. I have seen on this lot hickory trees g rowing so close together that standing between two trees one could touch b oth at the same time. Because of the dense growth these trees were witho ut branches 30 to 40 feet from the ground. They were at least 75 feet tal l.On Lot 8 Section 24, which father purchased in 1875, were hundreds of lar ge hard maples, interspersed by basswood oak, elm, beech, ironwood and che rry. These maples measured from two to four feet in diameter. Annually f or yeas we made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supp ly us for the coming year,As a lad 8 years old, I helped two of my brothers, who were older th an I, saw basswood trees some of which were four feet in diameter in the s tump, into headings. I recall our making a canoe out of a hollow basswo od log which easily held two of us. The, white and red oak were of simil ar dimensions. These were cut into bolts and sold to the hub and spoke fa ctory at Kaukauna. I mention this because the timber on our land was no d ifferent than that of our neighbors who lived in Range 18E. In Range.19E w hite pine dominated the forest.On the whole Buchanan should be classed as hard woodland. No better timb er of its kind can be found anywhere. It goes without saying that la nd which was so prolific in mighty and extraordinary trees could not be ot her than fertile soil. The soil rests upon Trenton and Galena limeston e. Adjacent to the river it is sedimentary red clay; a short distance fr om the river, the clay is interspersed by muck and alluvium deposits. The re is little sand or gravel soil.Buchanan is well drained; Range 18E by Robert's Creek and Mud Creek and th eir tributaries; Range 19E by a tributary of Plum Creek, the source of whi ch is in Section 32 on the county boundary line between Outagamie and Calu met Counties. From this point it flows northeasterly leaving the coun ty in Section 16 and emptying into Plum Creek in Section 10. Plum Cree k, whose source is in Calumet County flows almost due north and discharg es its water in the river in Section 2. Plum Creek itself is in Brown Coun ty.While the foregoing narrative establishes that the area now comprised in t he Town of Buchanan held inducements equal, if not superior to any other a rea of the county for settlers, these natural resources were not general ly known by the public and therefore would not have induced settlers to ta ke up lands. This query naturally follows: Why did Buchanan's original pi oneers locate in Buchanan?
