McCarthy, M. R. F., 82 Court Street, Binghamton, N. Y.; a commissioner of the department of Public Instruction.
McCarthy, Hon. Patrick Joseph, Mayor of the city of Providence, R. I., 1907 and 1908. Was born in County Sligo, Ireland, 1848, and was about two years of age when his parents, Patrick and Alice (Cullen) McCarthy, crossed the ocean. But they were destined to never reach the mainland of free America, for both father and mother died while waiting in quarantine, at Deer Island, Boston Harbor. Patrick J. was the youngest of seven sons. He became the ward of a society connected with the Catholic Cathedral in Boston, and remained with this society until he was eight years old. During this time he attended the public schools. Winters of following years, until he was fourteen, he attended day school in Somerville, Mass., and night school at Cambridge. About this time Professor Charles Elliot Norton, and some of his college associates, one of whom was Charles William Eliot, ex-President of Harvard University, organized a night school in old Cambridge for working boys, and admitted boys residing in Somerville. Advantage of this opportunity was taken and whenever speaking of this period of his life, Mayor McCarthy expresses his admiration and gratitude for Professor Norton. It was this association with true men that did more to mould his character and direct his mind and thoughts in the right direction than any other influence of his youth. In 1863 he removed to Providence, and while making his home with his brother learned the trade of brass finisher. His ambition was to become master of a business on his own account, and encouraged by a few successful ventures in real estate, determined to qualify himself for business in a proper manner. Realizing that a knowledge of law would be of great advantage to him, he read and studied Blackstone’s and Kent’s Commentaries on Law and made up his mind to choose law as a profession instead of engaging in business, and after suitable preparation entered the Law School of Harvard University. His accumulated savings supported him during the time of the course of study, and he graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1876. Returning to Providence, Mr. McCarthy was admitted to the Bar of Rhode Island. He was soon 288possessed of a good clientage, and later was admitted to the Circuit Court and Supreme Court of the United States. Being an ardent reader and endowed with histrionic ability, the stage appealed to him, and his evenings were spent in the congenial society of those interested in amateur theatricals, Shakespearian readings, etc., and notwithstanding his preference for serious characters, was frequently cast for the comedian’s part. In 1875 he married Miss Anne M. McGinney, of Providence, but this happy union was of short duration, as she died in 1880, leaving one of three children, Mary Josephine, wife of William H. Bannon, of Central Falls, R. I., surviving her. Although a Democrat, Mr. McCarthy has always been a firm believer in the principles of equitable protection, reciprocity and sound money. He was frequently urged to accept nomination for various public offices, but persistently declined until the fall of 1889, when he was nominated on a fusion ticket and elected to the Providence City Council, where he served during the years 1890–1892 and 1894. In 1891, 1892 and 1903 he was elected to the House of Representatives of Rhode Island, and made a good record in the Legislature. He was opposed to granting special privileges to public service corporations without adequate compensation to the public for franchises in public highways. In November, 1906, he was elected Mayor of the city of Providence, and the best tribute to his first year’s record in that office is that he was re-elected in 1907 by a greatly increased plurality. While Mayor McCarthy is a firm believer in the principles of Democracy and appreciative of the honors the Democratic party has conferred on him, he has always felt it to be his first duty to observe the wishes of the people as a whole, rather than those of a party or faction. He has been fearless in his disregard of partisanship and has won the respect and admiration of all good citizens by his official acts as Mayor. Mr. McCarthy is a many-sided man. As an official he is conspicuously successful. He has always represented the whole people, and never attempted to gain favor by the sacrifice of principle. He is a sound lawyer, enjoying the respect of the Court and the confidence of his clients. Better than that, he is a true friend, warm-hearted, clear-headed and helpful, and a loyal, patriotic American citizen. Address, 49 Westminster Street, Providence, R. I. Is Vice-President of the Society for Rhode Island.

McClure, Hon. David, attorney at law, 22 William Street, New York City. Mr. McClure was admitted to the bar in December, 1869, in New York City, where he has since resided. His practice has brought him very prominently before the courts and public during the last thirty-six years as 289counsel in cases which have attracted much attention. He has been counsel in many contested will cases, including those of Merrill, Schuyler Skatts, Charles B. Beck and Mary Johnson. In the Livingston, De Meli and General Burnside litigation he was also prominent. He has been connected with many large corporation foreclosure suits, including those of the Denver Water Company, the New York & Northern Railroad Company, Omaha Water Company, the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan, the Northern Pacific, the New York, Lake Erie & Western, the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, the Oregon Improvement Company, the Chicago & Northern Pacific Company, the Bankers and Merchants’ Telegraph Company, and the Memphis & Charleston Railroad Company. He is regarded as one of the most successful trial lawyers at the bar in New York. Mr. McClure for more than a quarter of a century has been counsel for the Farmers Loan & Trust Company, the oldest and largest trust company in the United States, organized in 1821; and for many years of the Consolidated Gas Company, one of the largest public service corporations in the country. He is also counsel for the West Side Savings Bank, several fire insurance companies and other banks. He was one of the counsel for the Mutual Life Insurance Company during the presidency of F. S. Winston. For years he was a director in the Lawyers Surety Company, and he is on the board of the Title Insurance Company of New York. He was a prominent and active member of the State Constitution Convention of 1894, in which body he introduced and carried through the amendment providing for protection of the forests of New York. He years ago declined elevation to the bench of the Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state of New York, and several times to other positions; also appointment to the offices of corporation counsel of the city of New York, and district attorney of the United States. Mr. McClure was appointed, in 1893, receiver of the National Bank of Deposit, in the city of New York, and in spite of the stringent financial condition which prevailed during the summer of that year, dividends aggregating seventy-five per cent were paid within three months. The entire indebtedness, principal and interest, was paid and the receivership closed out within one year. In 1892 he was a delegate from the State of New York to the National Democratic Convention which, at Chicago, nominated Grover Cleveland as candidate for the office of President of the United States, and during the campaign of that year he was much discussed by the press of New York as the probable nominee of his party for the office of Mayor of the city. In that year he was designated by the General Term of the Supreme Court, chairman of the first commission appointed to determine whether a subway passing under Broadway and other streets through the city should be constructed, his associates being Robert Maclay, President of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, and Benjamin Perkins. Prior to the adoption by the United States government of the Panama Canal project, and during the Presidency of Mr. McKinley, one of the largest, if not the largest, syndicates of moneyed men ever gathered together obtained a concession from the government of Nicaragua for the construction of a 290canal known as the Nicaragua Canal. This syndicate, which proposed to build the canal without government aid, was composed of the Messrs. Vanderbilt, Astor, Rockefeller, Mills, Stillman, Grace, Crimmins, and others of equal standing, and was represented before the committee of Congress upon the question of recognition and protection, by Mr. McClure as its counsel, he having organized the corporation under which it was proposed to operate. Mr. McClure is a member of the Manhattan, New York Athletic and other clubs, and the Bar Association, of which he has been a member of the judiciary and other committees. He has also been honored with the presidency of the Metropolitan Surety Company.

While there he took part in the Bulls Bay Expedition, which was one of the causes of the evacuation of Charleston by the Confederates. Soon after the evacuation, the State of Georgia was ordered to Aspinwall (Colon) to protect American interests on the Isthmus of Panama.

O’Leary, Rev. Cornelius F., Wellston, Mo., was born in the parish of Lixnan, County Kerry, Ireland, on the 20th of July, 1850; is the son of Cornelius O’Leary and Jane Stack, being the seventh and last child of the family; has ever felt a pride in being descended from the O’Learys and McSheehys on the one side and Stacks and O’Connors on the other—names held in honor and respect throughout the classic Kingdom of Ireland. From early youth he attended the national schools of the parish, and later was afforded the blessing and superior advantage of an education at the hands of the Christian Brothers of Tralee. At fifteen years of age he was induced by his honorable cousin, Thomas R. Wilson, Attorney at Killarney, to enter his office and prepare for the study of law. He soon grew discontented with the tedious forms and complexities of the law, returned to Tralee and entered the Classical School conducted by Charles McCarthy, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin. At seventeen, it next became his fortune to come to America and he settled in the West, “Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the sea.” With true Irish courage he accommodated himself to circumstances, looked neither to the right or to the left until he reached the goal of his pious ambition, receiving Holy Orders at the hands of Archbishop Ryan, then of St. Louis, in May, 1873. Rector of Notre Dame Church, Wellston, Mo.

O’Neil, Hon. George F., Binghamton, N. Y. (Life member of the Society.) Was born in Ireland, and came to America at a very early age with his parents. After learning the machinery trade in Binghamton, he went West and engaged in mining in California. Retiring to Binghamton, he went into the grocery business and real estate business and bought a controlling interest in a Democratic paper, which naturally brought him into politics. Never having had any taste for public office, he was, however, named as a presidential elector in 1892 for Grover Cleveland. He was appointed a member of the state committee, and served as a commissioner for the World’s Fair at Chicago by appointment of Governor Flower of New York. Having confidence in the growth of Binghamton, he became interested in its progress and general development. He became a stockholder 301in the electric light plant, a director in the First National Bank, and a trustee of the Susquehanna Valley Savings Bank. He is a prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce and attends to his large real estate investments, being at the present time the largest tax-payer in the city of Binghamton and county of Broome.

O’Shea, D. G., Red Lodge, Montana, born near Bantry, Ireland, February 6, 1862, of native parents. Attended the rudimentary schools of the locality until 13 years of age; then employed for six years in a small mercantile establishment in the town of Bantry. Hon. T. M. Healy was at that time a clerk in this store, and one of Mr. O’Shea’s instructors at the Bantry school was Hon. Timothy Harrington, later a prominent member of the Irish Parliamentary party, and also Lord Mayor of Dublin. Bantry being a town where the revolutionary spirit was much in evidence, there was a secret society there of which Mr. O’Shea became a member while still a boy; he also participated actively in the doings of the Land League. He came to America in March, 1881, and after several months of searching about for a suitable opening, settled in Montana, where he has since resided. The state was then very sparsely settled, and there were no railroads. Mr. O’Shea spent some time in prospecting and working in mines, etc., and in 1887 went to Red Lodge with the pioneers of that locality. He entered the employ of the Rocky Fork Coal Company, remaining with that concern for 15 years until it was absorbed by the Northern Pacific Railway. He then engaged in banking and real estate, and has since been connected with affairs of that nature. He was married in 1901 to Miss Eleanor Cavenagh, a native of Dublin, and at that time living in Chicago. There are three children, two boys and a girl.

Quinlan, Francis J., A. M., M. D., LL. D., eighth President-General of the American Irish Historical Society, was born in the City of New York, 303December 24th, 1853. Both his parents were Irish born, coming to these shores when the great exodus took place, about 1845. His early education was obtained at the Parochial School of St. Francis Xavier, under the guidance of the Christian Brothers. Later he attended Manhattan Academy, then at Thirty-second Street, and afterwards the College of St. Francis Xavier. While preparing for the study of medicine he taught school. In 1878 he was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia College, and soon after accepted an appointment at St. Vincent’s Hospital, which he shortly resigned to enter the United States Indian Service, serving on the frontier four years. In 1883 Doctor Quinlan returned to New York and devoted himself especially to diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Such was the skill he displayed that in a comparatively few years he was among the most prominent of his profession and today is a recognized authority in his specialty. Doctor Quinlan’s prominence in the medical field is attested by the number of important posts he holds. He is Professor of diseases of the nose and throat in the medical department of Fordham University and the New York Polyclinic; attending Laryngologist and Otologist to the New York City and the St. Vincent Hospitals; Consulting Throat and Nose Surgeon of the New York Foundling Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Yonkers, and Jamaica Hospital, N. Y., and Consulting Ear, Throat and Nose Surgeon of St. Agnes Hospital, White Plains, N. Y. He is President of the New York Celtic Medical Society, Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, a member of the American Medical and the State Medical Associations, the New York Otological and the Medico Surgical Societies, the Society of Medical Jurisprudence and a former President of the New York County Medical Association. In addition to these organizations of his profession, he is President of the Alumni Sodality of the College of St. Francis Xavier; is a member of the society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, the Catholic Club of New York, of which he is a former President, the Manhattan, New York Athletic and Lambs’ Clubs and is connected with various religious, racial and charitable organizations of New York City. Doctor Quinlan is a liberal contributor to the periodicals of his department of medicine and has devised many ingenious surgical instruments. Since his election to the office of President-General, the American Irish Historical Society has steadily gained favor with our people, and it is safe to say that the increase of three hundred members since he has been at the head of the Society is due in a great measure to his untiring efforts and a genial disposition which earns for him wherever he goes a host of friends. As an orator Doctor Quinlan is above mediocrity. His delivery is enthusiastic and has the true ring of sincerity, carrying along conviction. Especially was this noticeable in his addresses delivered at Washington and Providence. Doctor Quinlan is an ardent lover of the beautiful in nature, and is an art enthusiast, and although one of the busiest men in the great metropolis, he manages occasionally to find leisure to examine rare pieces of art that have found their way to the art collector’s, and to add to his 304already large collection of statuary and paintings. So judicious is the taste he displays that he is regarded as a connoisseur, and his artistic opinion has, on various occasions, been solicited. In 1906 Doctor Quinlan was the recipient of the Lætare Medal.

Sheehy, M. J., merchant, foot of Thirty-ninth Street, New York City.
Sheehan, Hon. William Francis, 16 East Fifty-sixth Street, New York City, was born in the City of Buffalo, N. Y., of Irish parents, on November 6, 1859. His father, William Sheehan, and his mother, Honora Crowley, were born in Cork, Ireland. At an early age both came to this country. He was educated in the public schools and graduated from St. Joseph’s College, Buffalo. He was admitted to the Bar in 1881, and practised law in Buffalo for thirteen years. At the same time he was active in politics, and became the leader of the Democratic party in Erie County, and in the western part of the State. He was elected a member of the New York Assembly from Erie County in the year 1884 and was successively elected in each of the six ensuing years, thus having had seven years of service in the Assembly, during six years of which he was Democratic leader. In 1891 he was the Speaker of the Assembly. In the fall of 1891 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor on the Democratic State ticket, with Roswell P. Flower as Governor, and was therefore presiding officer of the Senate for the years 1892, 1893 and 1894. He was the New York representative on the Democratic National Committee from 1891 to 1896. At the end of his term as Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Sheehan removed to New York City and there engaged in the practice of his profession as senior member of the firm of Sheehan & Collin.

Sullivan, James J., attorney at law, Ernest & Cranmer Building, Denver, Col., was born in Auniscaule, County Kerry, Ireland, March 1, 1875, is the son of John Sullivan and Mary Lynch, and a descendant of the ancient O’Sullivan clan of the “Kingdom of Kerry.” His father died in Ireland in 1883, and the following spring his mother brought seven of her orphaned children to America, settling in Holyoke, Mass., which is still regarded as the family home. At the age of fourteen, Mr. Sullivan was compelled to leave school to become a breadwinner on his own account. Three years later he was enabled to return to school, and entered the Holyoke High School in 1892, and at the same time began the study of law in the office of Hon. Christopher T. Callahan of Holyoke. For the next four years he pursued both his high school and law courses, graduating from the High school in June, 1896, and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 308October of the same year. So far as now known, this is the first time in the history of Massachusetts high schools when one of the students was admitted to the practice of any of the learned professions the same year of graduation. He immediately formed a partnership with Mr. Callahan, which continued until January, 1900. A few months prior to this time, Mr. Sullivan had occasion to visit the Far West, as a result of which he determined to dissolve his Eastern partnership and move permanently to Colorado with its vast wealth of undeveloped resources. With no assets except a willingness to work, he took up the practice of his profession in Denver in the spring of 1900. He has succeeded in building up an extensive practice, principally in matters relating to irrigation. Mr. Sullivan is one of the few young men raised in America who speaks the Irish tongue fluently. He is a member of several clubs, an enthusiastic horseman and all-around sportsman; is passionately loyal to his friends and possesses to a very large degree “that characteristic Irish pertinacity that never saw night too dark, hour too late or road too rough to interfere with rendering a favor to a friend—or a blow to an enemy.”
