From Marion Harney Newbury April 2002; The only one of my grandfather Jame s' family alive is Uncle Martin...Martin Ohatherine, 1200 Oak Ct. Apt 104, Port Washington, Wo 53074.. H is daughter is another Catharine (Rosella's daughter) although she go es by Kay and they have a daughter Catharine.notes for Marion Newbury; I forgot to mention that the murder of James Har ney, a federal agent, was solved by the youngest of family, Martin Harn ey ( Martin O'hAlhairne). Martin was a young cub reporter working for t he local newspaper. There was a strong Finnish community in Tamarack a nd Martin had learned to speak Finnish. When law enforcement couldn't fi nd out what happened, Martin went into that area, speaking Finn, acting li ke a Finn and the men thinking he was one of them, told him, bragging th at they had killed the agent and buried him under brush pile in the wood s. Acting on this information, the body was found. The man responsible w as sent to Stillwater Minn. prison for life. However, he was released a nd the 1970's and Tim Harney, (James's son) found where he was paroled a nd working as a handyman and went to talk with him. Tim would be ab le to give you details of that meeting although he came away believing t he guy hadn't really done it. Martin wrote radio script and this story w as broadcast over a national station and 1950's and '60's
1989 Listed as Martin of Montreal Wis in brother Thomas obit.

2006He is the last of the family of Anna Ryan and James Harney and he will be burried from the church in Cloquet where he and the younger children were baptized.
Hi Marion,Dad has left us for a better place. He passed away today at 12:30 p.m. at Zilber Hospice in Wauwatosa, at 96 years old. His last week was peacful and painless following three weeks of difficult struggle. He became very disoriented on Thanksgiving Day and deteriorated over the next few weeks into what was termed delirium. Nothing could bring him out of it and the doctors recommended hospice shortly before Christmas. The funeral will be at Our Lady Queen of Peace, Cloquet, from which Mother and Jimmy were buried, Friday, Jan., 5, at 11 a.m. He will be buried with Phyllis at the old Catholic cemetery. I know you cannot attend and that you will keep him in your prayers. At the risk of irreverence, I do hope there are trout streams and ski hills in Heaven. I hope you are well and that you had a lovely visit with Dirk and family over the holidays.
Always a news man and reporter where timing is everything, wouldn't you know he would wait until almost the very end of a year to leave. God Bless Him.I always remember that he was Grandma Harney's "baby" he came 4 years after the rest of the kids..who were usually 2 years apart and he was the last and he was movie star handsome and one could say (as Grandpa did) that he was spoiled. I do know that he was dapper and he was dating Phyllis when he invited Dad to her house for dinner and they had Hulda there...that is how they met..and I loved it! Dad had been slowly desolved in tears since mother died as they were so close and what a God send Hulda was..Dad was 79 and so Martin must have been74 and there they were double dating!! and for the next 15 years Dad and Hulda traveled everywhere ( Dad's free railroad passes).The Harneys usually outlived their mates and so it is a wonder that their last years are happy. Such a handsome family and the brothers were so close with a lot of love and as with all good Irish, they tried to hide it. Uncle Mal is the only one I remember that could be a bit spontaneous, (as was Grandpa Harney)I agree we have "roots" to be proud of and an 8th cousin in the Powers line (J Wilpolt) to be thankful for for putting it all together in his history....Of course, I do believe thaat Anna Ryan was working full time to get that history together. She had a direct line u
