Mr. Galvin was one of the oldest settlers of this township, coming here when the county was almost a wilderness and working early and late to make for himself and family a home to be his comfort in his declining years.

The remains were taken to the Catholic churchy in Nolan settlement where Rev. Father Mahoney offered up the sacrifice for the repose of his soul. The Rev. Father delivered a very fine eulogy on the life of Mr. Galvin and in his discourse he told of the promptitude and liberality, of the deceased when last summer the Rev. Father was soliciting funds for the erection of the new church now nearing completion but which it was not God's will to let him live to see finished, after the last sad rites had been performed all that remained of Mr. James Galvin was lowered in a grave in the family lot in the grave at Nolan settlement, here to rest till the judgment day. He leaves a wife and four daughters and one son and a host of friends to mourn his demise. To his wife and family we offer our heartfelt sympathy in their affliction. May his soul rest in peace.

LOYAL IRISH MAKE LIBERTY GREAT SLOGAN
Loyal sons of Erin, native and descended from a long
line of liberty-loving ancestry, assembled at the Knights of Columbus' hall,
Sunday and organized the Jack Barry branch of the American Association for
Recognition of the Irish republic.
Resolutions were adopted, copies thereof were ordered,
after the unanimous passage thereof by rising vote, sent to the Press-Citizen,
the Commercial club, Senator Cummings, Senator Kenyon, and Congressman Hull.
The authors of the document, an officially-selected
committee, were Dennis Maher, Leo A. Kerrigan, and Elizabeth M. Carville.
Charter Officers Named.
Charter officers of the Jack Barry branch, A.A.R.I.R.
were elected as follows:
President-James P. Carroll.
Vice-president-Miss Mary Quinlan
Secretary-George H. Duker
Treasurer-J.E. Gatens.
An Eloquent Address.
The eloquent address, based on first hand observations
and impressions gleaned while visiting in Ireland, in the summer of 1920, was
delivered by Rev. Henry Corcoran, of Nolan Settlement, who thrilled every
auditor to the heart's core, as he told his stirring tale of the happenings of
the Emerald Isle.
Ringing Resolutions.
The resolutions in full follow:
We the undersigned, citizens of Iowa and of the United
States ever mindful that the interests, the dignity and the safety of the United
States hold the first place in our loyal citizenship; mindful also of the
principles of liberty and human rights set forth in our own Declaration of
Independence, principles written into the Constitution upon which our fathers
with the aid of France and Ireland built the greatest nation of all time, do
hereby declare.
Believe in Constitution.
First; That as citizens of free America we necessarily
believe in the right of every people to determine for themselves the form of
government under which they will enjoy " life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness."
Second: That our contribution in lives and treasure in
the World War was given with the declared purpose of making the world safe
for the adoption and exercise of the rights of self-government by all peoples
large and small.
Third: That England accepted our aid and agreed to our
terms thereby saving her empire.
What England Did.
Fourth: That no sooner had the armistice been signed
and her destruction averted than she returned to her centuries old relentless
persecution of the Irish people for the sole reason that the Irish people had
accepted in good faith the declared purposes of the United States and formed a
government of their own.
Fifth: That we emphatically condemn England's war on
the Irish people. We condemn her war methods unsurpassed in their barbaric
savagery by any civilized people at any time or in any place.
Why England is Condemned.
Sixth: Because we condemn England because last year she
killed two hundred and three unarmed, non-resisting Irish citizens; because she
violated the sanctity of Irish homes; because she assaulted and killed helpless
men, women and children; because in a time of threatened famine she sacked and
burned towns and industrial plants destroying four hundred million dollars worth
of property; we condemn England because she recruits her army of invasion with
mercenaries from the slums and prisons of London to carry on her war of murder;
rapine, loot and outrage; we emphatically condemn her for the expenditure of
$600,000,000 annually to carry on her campaign of murder and destruction in
Ireland while professing her inability to pay even the interest on the
$5,000,000,000 past due and owing to the United States.
Declare News Is Suppressed.
Seventh: That we condemn England's suppression of news
from Ireland, for depriving the press and the people of the United States of any
news from the British empire that has not first been "doctored" by
British officials.
Eighth: That having paid our debt to France, we
Americans should now be mindful of the debt, we owe to Ireland, mindful of the
fact that, in our own struggle for self-government Irishmen rendered assistance
that received the special praise of Washington and Franklin and other patriots
of our Revolutionary period.
Say It's American Question.
Ninth: That we declare that England's war on Ireland is
an American question; it inspires every true American citizen with feelings of
horror; it affects seriously the material interests of every American citizen.
The American committee for the Relief of Ireland composed of prominent and
patriotic citizens ask for $10,240,000 of American money as the sum immediately
necessary to save the lives of the victims of this unnecessary war. England's
methods in Ireland threaten to destroy not only our peaceful political relations
with that country, but what affects our citizens more, our commercial relations
with different parts of the world.
Irish in World War.
Tenth: In-as-much as we entered into, fought and won
the World War to establish peace and friendship among all of the nations of the
world and since there can be true peace or friendly dealings between the United
States and England until she recognizes Ireland's right to self-government and
permits her to enter unmolested the family of free nations to live in the
sunlight of freement, peace and prosperity, therefore.
Be it Resolved, by this assemblage of citizens of Iowa City,
Iowa, made up of people of many creeds and racial lines,
That we appeal to all Chambers of Commerce, Boards of
Trade, City and State Governments, the President and the Senate and the House of
Representatives of the United States, to use their influence and every means
within their power compatible with their duty as American citizens and official
representatives of the people to stop her uncivilized warfare in the interest of
American peace.
Want Traditional Policy Maintained.
Be It Further Resolved, That as American citizens we urge our
government to adhere to its traditional policy of recognizing new republics and
in accordance therewith recognize the Republic of Ireland which is the choice of
more than 80% of Irish people.
Resolved Further and Finally, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished to the Press-Citizen of Iowa City, to the Iowa City
Commercial club and that a copy be sent to the President of the United States,
to Senator Cummins, to Senator Kenyon and to the Congressman of this District,
Harry E. Hull.

Edward Franey, street commissioner of Marengo, died at
his home here Thursday and was buried on Monday morning. He was born in Wexford
County, Iowa [should be Ireland], in October 1871, being the sixth of seven
children born to Catherine and Martin Edward Franey. In 1862 he was brought to
America by a sister and a brother, John, the latter, a soldier in the Union army
who had the unusual battle of engaging in fifty-two battles without sustaining
injury of any description. Following a short time in New York Mr. Franey came to
Davenport and was employed for several years at the Rock Island Arsenal. Going
thence to Iowa City he worked for ten years at the old Terril mills and was
during that time, the close friends of the president of the mills, Albert
Hemmer. On January 9, 1877, he was married to Miss Mary Butler at the Nolan
Settlement by Rev. James O'Reilly whereupon the young couple came to Marengo
where they have lived continuously. Fourteen children were born to the union,
two daughters. Margaret and Anne, preceding their father in death. The other
twelve, all of whom attended his funeral, are Patrick of Valley Junction, John
of Marengo, Mrs. Mary Killcoin of Victor, Mrs. Catherine Appleby of Iowa City,
Mrs. Margaret Murphy of Iowa city, Genevieve of Rock Island, Martin, Leo,
William, Agnes, of Marengo and Joseph of Victor. He is also survived by fifteen
grandchildren. Mr. Franey was for many years a railroad employee and about 20
years was appointed as street commissioner by Mayor A.M. Henderson. The
position, tho usually awarded as a political spoil, has always been given to Mr.
Franey because of the splendid manner in which he administered the affairs of
his office. During the installation of a new sewage system and the paving of
seven miles of city highway his service was regarded as unsurpassed. His pall
bearers were Mayor William E. Hankey, Postmaster J.J. Glenn and Councilman W.F.
Hogan, J.W. Thompson, Dennis Sullivan and F.H. Karsten. The funeral was held
from St. Patrick's church, Rev. Father Carroll, celebrating the solemn requiem
Mass, with Rev. Herman Frencken of Victor as deacon and Rev. Maurice Hannon of
Grinnell as sub-deacon. The choir sang the Gregorian requiem Mass with Irwin
Moynihan at the organ in the absence of the regular organist, Mrs. F.W. Franey,
a daughter-in-law of the deceased. During the Offertory Labat's Ave Maria was
sung in duet by Mrs. E.J. Sullivan and Mrs. E.P. Hogan, Jr., and following the
Mass, Mrs. Hogan sang, "I Would Not Live Away." After the prayers for
the dead Mrs. Sullivan sang "O Dry Those Tears." Father Carroll paid a
beautiful and highly merited tribute to the memory of the dead man and recalled
his fine example to his family, his friends, his church, and his community to
all of whom he held a life of Christian devotion and service. The body was
interred in Calvary cemetery , out of town relatives in attendance being: Mr.
and Mrs. Frank McInerny and daughter, Ella, Mrs. E.A. Mannah, all of Iowa City,
and Edward Butler of North English.

Hundreds Attend Services at St. Mary's Yesterday; Legion Figures Prominently in
Tribute
Three victims of the dreadful tragedy west of Iowa City
now sleep in hallowed ground. Slain in a moment by electricity, and mourned now
by the community and the entire county, because of the horror that marked their
sad fate, John and Paul Miller rest in St. Joseph's cemetery, Iowa City; and
Joseph Wall in St. Bridget's cemetery, at Nolan Settlement.

Stinocher Post members- Andrew Kessler, Ed Panzer, George Seroy, and Frank
Steinbrech. The other two were John Rourke and John Kennedy. Stinocher Post,

Lalla.
The church services here were extraordinary in respect
to the attendance. Fully 1500 people packed the beautiful cathedral like edifice
and a third as many more could not gain entrance at St. Mary's.
