He was born and married in county Donegal, Ireland, and came to America in 1852, locating in Rock Island, Ill., where he owned a large track of choice timber and coal land which he afterward sold and moved to Le Claire about thirty years ago. At the beginning of the Civil war, he enlisted in 152 Illinois Infantry, with which he taught throughout and received an honorable discharge. Four daughters and one son survive him as follows: Mrs. J. C. Swank of Coal Valley, Ill., Mrs. ? (obit abruptly ends prematurely).
