Ireland. December 23. 1830. When he had just about attained his majority he and a brother. who is still living. bid farewell to their boyhood home in that beautiful isle. that land of poetry and song. eloquence and wit. whose genialhearted and sympathetic people have long struggled for liberty. and emigrated to the United States. tarrying awhile in Philadelphia. then pushed forward until the two brothers reached the small village of Navarre. in the proud Commonwealth of Ohio. He was not altogether without means. and yet at a meager salary became a bookkeeper in a dry goods establishment in that hamlet. A few years afterward he moved northward. only about 5 miles to the then very prominent canal town of Massillon. and there he was again employed as clerk in a dry goods store.
