  Biography	History of Langlade County, Wisconsin
  THOMAS E. CAVANAUGH. The trials of the pioneers of Langlade County were discouraging, thus only settlers of a courageous spirit weathered the storms and hardships of the new settlers' life. Among the early settlers in Antigo township was the Edward Cavanaugh family. Thomas Cavanaugh, the subject of this sketch, was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, on August 30, 1866, the son of Edward and Margaret (Kevin) Cavanaugh, and was the oldest child in the family. When a boy of fourteen years he moved to the town of Antigo with his parents, arriving in that township on November 1, 1881. Previously, in 1879, Edward Cavanaugh had purchased a farm in section 6 of Antigo township, then called Springbrook town- ship. For eight years young Thomas lived on the farm, clearing the forests, cutting wood, cultivating the crops and doing other work necessary. Then the family moved into Antigo, a growing little city. Thomas had but a meagre education, having attended the Third Ward School, Appleton, Wis., and spent one winter in an Ackley township rural school. He worked in the woods, on farms, sawmills, one winter with Val. P. Rath, veteran County Clerk, and was employed on a M. L. S. & W. work train in 1885. In 1886 he began his career as a railroad brakeman, be- ginning that work in November, 1886. Three years later, 1889, he was promoted to Night Yard Master and in June, 1891, received another promotion, being transferred to Milwaukee, where he was until Febru- ary 2, 1906, when he was returned to Antigo to as- sume full charge as Yard Master of the Antigo yards of the C. & N. W. R. R. Co., which position he has maintained as a reward for responsibility and service. Mr. Cavanaugh was married on February 20, 1895, to Ellen Buckley, then of Milwaukee, but a native of Canada. Six children were born, four of whom are now living. Marie and Ileen are deceased. The other children are Edward, James, Alice and Kath- leen. The devoted wife of Mr. Cavanaugh passed away on February 4, 1912. The Cavanaugh resi- dence is at 622 Lincoln street. Fraternally Mr. Cavanaugh is a member of Antigo Council, No. 1002, Knights of Columbus, the B. of R. E., and the Mystic Workers of the World; he is also a member of the Yardmasters' Association of Amer- ica. The family attends St. John's Catholic church. During the World War Thomas Cavanaugh was an active war worker, taking a leading part in the Red Cross, Liberty Loan Drives, and in the success of the Victory Fund. Edward and Margaret Cavanaugh, his father and mother, and pioneers of Langlade County, lived to see Antigo and the county at large grow into a thriv- ing and progressive community. Edward Cavanaugh died in 1913, two years after the death of his wife, Margaret. Both are at rest in Appleton, Wisconsin. James Cavanaugh, a brother of Thomas Cavanaugh, came to Antigo at the same time the rest of the fam- ily did, in 1881. He is now deceased, as is his wife. One son, Paul, a student of the University of Wis- consin, survives, and makes his home with Thomas Cavanaugh.
