Biography* Joseph Clancy, 1850-1904:
The last of the nine children born to Ned Clancy and Kitty Carron, Joseph was christened at Kinawley on 27 April 1850. His sponsors were James Glancy and Ann Glancy. Most of what we know about Joseph Clancy comes from his brother John's probate file, either directly or by inference. When brother John Clancy died in 1916, brother Edward hadn't heard from Joseph since 1871. But, since Joseph was named to inherit one-third of John's estate, an heroic effort was made to find him by Edward, who was also to receive a one-third share. Edward had his son Terrence Hugh write to relatives in both Ireland and America asking if anyone knew where Joseph was or how to contact him. Hugh also wrote to several Joseph Clancy's in New York City, Syracuse, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hugh thought he remembered seeing a letter his father had received from a Joseph postmarked Pittsburgh. All with no luck.

Edward and Hugh then embarked on a trip to New York City and conducted a search from there. They were in the New York City area for 28 days. And as a direct result of the extensive, intensive search conducted by Terrence Hugh, the surviving widow and only son of Joseph were located in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. Other relatives, friends and acquaintances of both Joseph and his wife were discovered along the way. The widow, the son, and a few of the others subsequently gave depositions and/or testified at hearings. Some of their views and opinions came to light through the later testimony of Terrence Hugh. The story that follows is based on those depositions and testimonies. It's a sad story that is necessarily biased by the opinions of those who told the tale. We'll never hear Joseph's side of it, God rest him.

Joseph Clancy was about five-foot-seven-inches tall, was pale and thin (160-165 pounds), with black hair and dark blue eyes. "Quite a swell" as one depondent put it. Joseph was a very private, reserved person who maintained almost no contact with family members. His brother Edward didn't know that Joseph had married before he and Hugh made the New York trip. Edward, obviously then, didn't know that Joseph had children. And, of course, neither Edward nor brother John knew that Joseph had died in 1904. Joseph wrote and asked Edward for money at least twice before he married. The letter that he wrote to Edward in 1871 was the last contact that Edward had from him and the only address that Edward knew. Joseph and wife Bridget were visited by his brother Patrick once in the 1870's. Patrick was returning to Ireland and wanted Joseph to come with him. An unnamed brother in Ireland was 'after dying' and Patrick wanted Joseph to take the farm. His mother wrote to him during this period also asking him to come home and take the farm, but Joseph wouldn't go. Joseph did not keep in touch with men who considered themselves to be his good friends either. Most were business associates and none knew where he lived or if he was married. When contacted in 1916 most hadn't seen him in ten years or more (not surprising given that he died in 1904).

Joseph arrived in the United States in 1868. On 19 Oct 1871, when he wrote the letter to brother Edward, he was living at 189 Chambers Street in New York City with a distant relative named Ellen McPartland. He and a John McPartland were both boarders at that place. The relation, if any, between John McPartland, the boarder, and Ellen McPartland, the boardee, isn't known. Joseph met Bridget O'Reilly circa 1872. When they married in 1879, Bridget "went against her people." The wedding may have been hastily arranged because Bridget lived with her parents for about six weeks after the marriage until Joseph could find and furnish a place for them to live. They set up housekeeping at 40th Street and 2nd Avenue and it was there that a daughter, Catherine, was born in 1880. Sometime after the marriage, Joseph began to drink to excess. He was employed mostly in the wholesale clothing industry as a salesman. Jobs, which never lasted more than a year, were interspersed with periods, sometimes long periods, of unemployment. It's not clear why the jobs were lost. He may have quit them, he may have lost them because of poor performance, they may have been temporary or seasonal in nature and not permanent, or for some other reason like race discrimination. Although he didn't speak with a brogue, most associates suspected he was not an American and some thought he was born in Ireland. However, each successive job was farther down the clothing industry ladder. In the beginning, the firms that hired him were the larger Broadway houses. Later, the firms were the smaller East Broadway houses. Eventually he was 'frozen-out' almost altogether. This work history suggests that quitting or poor performance were more likely reasons for Joseph's constantly changing jobs rather than race discrimination. Although during this period, at least, he did not have a reputation as a drunk among his business associates. Perhaps, if Joseph did quit these jobs, the firms just wouldn't hire him back later.

By 1882, the year son Edward was born, the Clancy's had moved to Brooklyn. By 1884, a house had been purchased at 60 Cedar Street in Brooklyn. The house was owned, with mortgage, by Bridget. When son Edward was about six months old, daughter Catherine tipped over in her highchair and struck her head. She subsequently developed spinal meningitis and died. Whether this tragedy was contributory or not, Joseph's drinking grew steadily worse. The relationship between he and Bridget deteriorated steadily as well. She accused him of associating with other women, with one in particular. He accused her of associating with five other men. One night, he attempted to hit her with a pitcher. On another occasion he woke her from a sound sleep and was standing over her, threatening her with an axe. In 1886, he forced Bridget to sign a separation agreement. He had stopped providing any support to the family, although he did work sometimes and he continued to live, although not continuously, at the Cedar Street address until 1891. After Joseph left, he returned only once. On that visit, he told his son that he loved him and asked Edward if he would like to go away with him. Little Edward, however, wanted his father to stay with him and his mother. So, Joseph left - alone. That was the last time that Edward saw his father. Joseph never contacted either his wife or his son again. Predictably, his health began to decline and he eventually contracted consumption. In the last years he lived in cheap hotels on the Bowery in Manhattan.

And then, at 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday 13 April 1904, Joseph was found, sick and destitute, lying on the ground at Bowery and Grand Streets by patrolman Patrick Cotter of the 12th Precinct. Joseph was taken by ambulance to Gouvernuer Hospital in New York City where he died at 5 p.m. the next day. Cause of death was listed as tuberculosis-pulmonary with contributory alcoholism. He was attended by Dr. P. W. Monroe. He was buried in City Cemetery on 26 April 1904 with only his friend Patrick Farley to mourn him. Requiescat In Pace....

The photograph is a copy of one in his brother John's probate file. It is marked as Exhibit A in a deposition taken from Mary McPartland in Middlesex county, New Jersey on 13 September 1917.

Biography* Joseph Abden Clancy, 1877-1913:
The fourth of eight children, Joseph was born in Hebron Township, McHenry County, Illinois, and grew up on farms in the area. After his marriage he worked as a farm laborer in Chemung Township in McHenry County and in Walworth County, Wisconsin. By 1910, Joseph had assumed the operation of his father's dairy farm in south Hebron and was paying his father rent.

Joseph died suddenly on a Thursday near Waukesha, Wisconsin. His funeral was held on Monday from Saint Joseph's Church in Harvard with the Rev. Kearney of Saint Patrick's in Hartland officiating. Pall bearers were Joseph W. Hayden, John (or Richard) Burke, Chas O'Holleran, Joseph McGuire, Frank Leonard, and Daniel Shields. There is conflicting evidence on both Joseph's birth and death dates. His obituary lists his birth year as 1876 but 1877 is listed on his tombstone. His death date is listed as 11 September in his obituary but 12 September on his tombstone.

Biography* Martha Clancy Haley, 1883-1977:
The seventh of eight children, Martha grew up on a farm south of Hebron in McHenry County, Illinois. Martha's birth year was recorded as 1883 in McHenry County but as 1884 in her Social Security record (Wonder what proof of birth was provided in her Social Security application?). Before her marriage, Martha served as a nurse at the Cottage Hospital in Harvard. In her marriage license, she listed herself as Irish and that she was born in Genoa Junction, Wisconsin! Martha's noon wedding was a large one. Anna O'Connor, niece of the groom, was the ring bearer. Maude Hayes of Harvard (Illinois) played and sang. Garrett W. Fitzgerald and her brother T. Hugh Clancy were the ushers. Marie Downes, Mae Coates, Mary Collins, Margaret McConnell, all from Harvard, Agnes Fitzgerald and Josie Fitzgerald, both from Alden (Illinois) acted as servers at the reception following which was held at the bride's home. Out of town relatives who attended the festivities included M/M Wm. Cook, M/M R. E. O'Connor, M/M J. P. Sullivan, M/M P. H. Haley, her brother Atty/Mrs John D. Clancy, all of Chicago; M/M Dennis Haley of Deadwood, South Dakota, Edw. Haley of Saint Paul, Minnesota; Atty. A. Gates White of Garden Prairie, Illinois and her brother Edward A. Clancy of Carpentersville, Illinois. The best man's surname is variously spelled in accounts of the wedding as Henley, Herley, and Herely. After the marriage, Martha and husband lived for a time on the Haley home farm in Hartland Township. By 1920, they were living in Woodstock at 310 Judd Street. In 1952, they were living in West Allis, Wisconsin. In 1961, in Algoma, Wisconsin. Martha moved from Algoma to Sun City, Arizona in 1976.

Martha, age 83, died on a Wednesday. She was survived by one daughter, four grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Her funeral was held on Saturday from Saint Mary's church in Woodstock. Funeral arrangements were made by Schneider, Leucht, Merwin and Cooney funeral home of Woodstock.

Biography* Mary K. Clancy Gerber, 1880-1968:
The fifth of eight children, Mary was born on a farm in McHenry County, Illinois, and grew up on farms in the Hebron-Richmond area. When her mother Susan died soon after giving birth in 1886, the new born infant, also named Susan, was raised by a neighbor. Mary's father Edward kept the rest of the family together. Mary, as the oldest female in the house, assumed many of the household duties. She had not yet reached her sixth birthday! Mary took mothering very seriously. She stayed at home and didn't marry until she was 29 - after all her siblings had married or left. Characteristically, she also assumed responsibility for keeping family members in touch with each other after her father died. Circa 1906, her brother Hugh took Mary to South Dakota to visit their uncle John Clancy. It was there that Mary met her future husband, Henry F. Gerber. Her marriage on a Wednesday was officiated by the Rev. Thomas Kearney, Pastor of Saint Patrick's. Her sister, Martha, was the bridesmaid and Martha's husband, "Con" Haley, was best man. The ceremonies were followed with a dinner for the immediate relatives at her father's home in Hebron.

Mary was fiercely proud of her Irish heritage and deeply immersed in her Catholic faith. She also was not above embellishing the truth to improve appearances. On her marriage license, she listed her race as Celtic and her birthplace as Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. In the wedding announcement published in both the Hebron and Woodstock newspapers, she wrote that, "The groom is engaged in the real estate business at Worthing, being a member of the firm of Gerber Bros.. He was among the young men from that state to enlist in the Spanish-American War and saw service in the Phillipines, where he rose to the rank of Captain and has the distinction of having been voted by congress a medal for bravery in the service." Mary spelled her second name with a "K" until sometime after the birth of her first daughter and before the birth of her second. After that time she spelled it "Catherine." Mary was determined that her daughters receive the best and highest education possible. When the girls were to enter high school, Mary decided that the opportunities in Lincoln County were limited. So, she rented lodgings in Sioux Falls and took the girls there every Monday morning, returning to Worthing on Friday evening. Both girls graduated from Cathedral High School in Sioux Falls and subsequently from Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa. She liked to recite poetry. One of her favorites was "Abou Ben Adhem" by Leigh Hunt.

When her uncle John Clancy died in 1916, he left her his house and lot in Worthing6. Mary sold the house to Thomas A. Clark on 20 August 1919 for $800. In 1940 - her husband Henry had died in 1934 - Mary moved permanently to Sioux Falls. On 30 July 1941, she and daughters Helen and Dorothy sold the house in Worthing located on the northeast corner of Third and Poplar Streets7 to Caroline O. Clark of Worthing for $1 and other valuable considerations. Per the terms of Henry Gerber's final probate decree this piece of property was owned equally by Mary, Helen, and Dorothy. According to the Deputy Register of Deeds, Lincoln County the fee of $1.20 on this transaction indicates the selling price was $1,200 ($1 fee per $1000 value). On 26 August 1941, she purchased, in the names of her daughters, the house at 628 North Prairie Avenue, Sioux Falls8 from S. B. and Ellamay Nissen for $1 and other valuable considerations. Using the same formula as that used to calculate the selling price of the Worthing house, the house in Sioux Falls cost $2,200 (fee of $2.20).

Mary, age 88, died on a Thursday of arteriosclerosis . She was survived by her two daughters, 11 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and two sisters. A funeral mass was celebrated on Saturday at Saint Joseph's Cathedral in Sioux Falls. She was buried in Worthing - against her wishes! Mary wanted to be buried in Saint Michael's cemetery in Sioux Falls - not in Worthing. She wanted her husband Henry moved to Saint Michael's also. Her family, however, decided to bury her in Worthing next to Henry. Mary managed to express her displeasure from the great beyond, to the nervous amusement of the family. For years afterward, grass would not grow on her gravesite! The house on North Prairie was sold to Paul J. and Recka Kayl for $1 and valuable considerations on 27 September 1968.9

Biography* Peter Clancy 1847-????:
The eighth of nine, Peter was christened at Kinawley on 12 May 1847. His sponsors were Terence Clancy (father's brother?) and Ann Carron (mother's sister?). Peter was in Crocknacreevy when his father died in 1865. He wrote - or more probably had written - a letter to unnamed brothers in the USA advising them of their father's death. After brother Michael died in 1874, the mother Kitty asked the youngest son Joseph to come from New York City and take over the farm. This suggests that Peter, who would have been 27 at the time, had left home, was deceased or, couldn't take over the farm for some other reason. Peter was not listed in County Fermanagh in 1901 and apparently was not alive in 1917 when brother John Clancy's probate file was being settled. Nothing else about Peter is known.

Biography* Susan Mae Clancy Behringer, 1886-1969:
Five days after Susan was born, her mother died. Since her father Edward was lacking the necessary equipment to cope with a new-born, Susan was raised by friends in the nearby town of Alden, Illinois. The friends were Michael O'Brien and his second wife, Mary Nolan Croak. In addition to being good friends, there were also family connections with the O'Briens and Nolans. Michael O'Brien's daughter Isabelle, by his first wife, was married to Edward Clancy's nephew, John James Clancy, a Chicago policeman. Mary Nolan Croak was a sister of John James Clancy's mother, Catherine Nolan. Susan lived with the O'Brien's until her marriage in 1907. Circa 1902, Michael O'Brien retired and Susan moved with the family from Alden to 407 West Blackman in Harvard's 1st Ward. At her wedding, Miss Maude Hayes was the organist and Miss Christina Boodel (of Baraboo, Wisconsin) sang. John W. Phalen and her brother T. Hugh Clancy were ushers. Relatives from out ot town included Edward Clancy father of the bride, brothers Joe & E. Clancy (both of Hebron), James McQuirk (of Chicago), and Richard Croak & family (of Hartland). After the wedding, she and her husband lived with the O'Brien's. By 1918, they were living at 468 Jackson in Woodstock. By 1931, they were living at 702 Grove Street in Waukegan, Illinois. After her husband died in 1931, Susan returned to Woodstock where she lived at 303 Washington. By 1940, she had moved to 231 N Thorp. By 1944, she had apparently left Woodstock. And by 1952, Susan was living at 302 North Bendino Street, San Pedro, California.

Susan, age 83, died on a Friday. She was survived by two daughters, one son, 19 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. Her funeral was held on Wednesday from Saint Mary's church in Woodstock. The Schneider-Leucht-Merwin-Cooney funeral home was in charge of arrangements.

Biography* Terrance Hugh Clancy, 1873-1921:
There are inconsistencies in records of Terrance Hugh's birthdate. His obituary lists his birth date as 10 August 1873. His death record lists it as 21 August 1873. From his age on the death record, his birthdate calculates as 1 September 1873. Although his obituary lists his birthplace as Woodstock, Terrance Hugh was probably born in Hebron Township or Hartland Township and not in Woodstock. Named Terrance Hugh at birth, after 1900 he was usually referred to as Hugh or T. Hugh. Hugh grew up in Hebron Township. He attended school in Genoa Junction, Wisconsin and then taught school for a number of terms. After his stint at teaching, he attended Beloit College where he was a member of the football team. He moved to Kansas City, Missouri for a time and when he returned to Woodstock he worked as an aligner at the Oliver Typewriter factory. During this time, Hugh was a boarder with Robert and Alice McLean at 344 Tryon Street in Woodstock's 4th Ward. By 1913, he had moved to Chicago where he was a lodger with the widow Emma Cashery at 114 East Superior Street in the 21st Ward. He worked in the office of a wholesale grocery. He took a law course at Northwestern University and later was employed as a clerk at First National Bank.

Hugh developed chronic nephritis in 1919. He subsequently developed uremia and underwent an operation on 10 May 1921. Hugh died of these diseases at Chicago Policlinic and Hospital at 221 West Chicago Avenue in the 21st Ward twelve days later on a Sunday. He was survived by two brothers and three sisters. The funeral was held at Saint Mary's in Woodstock on Tuesday where the Rev. D. J. Conway officiated. At the time of his death, Hugh's estate consisted of two lots in Chicago plus cash and receivables of $5505.78. He died intestate, that is, without a will. The settlement of Hugh's estate was the more complicated because Hugh was the administrator of his father's estate which had not as yet been settled. Brother-in-law Cornelius Haley assumed administrator duties for both estates. The father's estate was settled first and, through a clerical error, an excess of $1161.38 was distributed to the heirs. This error was discovered before Hugh's estate was settled and the judge decided to have Hugh's estate repay the $1161.38 excess distribution to the father's estate. In the final distribution, each of the surviving five siblings received $566.87. The sixth share was divided equally among the three children of the deceased sibling Joseph. The Final Report to the Probate Court, McHenry County, Illinois on Estate File No. 7587 was approved on 18 December 1922.
