Notes
a. Note:   H00257
Note:   6/11/2000 - Aunt Lucile said the Grandpa Hannagan brought his parents, sisters and brother from Ireland to the United States once he was settled here. according to Aunt Lucile, Grandpa Hannagan was a stowaway on a ship from Ireland. She says he was helped by a man named Fallon or O'Fallon. He settle in O'Neill, Holt County, Nebraska on a land grant and lived in a sod house. Further research reveals that he first lived in St. Louis and applied for property under the Homestead Act in 1881. 11/2/2000 I asked Aunt Lucile what she remembered about him and what he did for a living. She told about how they were in the Cathedral parish but actually lived closer to St. Mark's and how they would all walk to church together. She said he drove for Wells Fargo and that in those days stores were open on Sundays, at least during the holidays. She remembers one of the aunts or someone telling about how he didn't like to have to stop for pedestrians as he went flying through downtown St. Louis. She didn't know why he went to Nebraska originally and didn't say how he ended up here in St. Louis. THE FOLLOWING NOTES WERE ADDED BY AUNT LUCILE'S GRANDSON - DAN O'GORMAN Grandma says he was 'In his 70's' when he died. That suggests he was born between 1841-1851. Grandma has many stories about him, e.g. she remembers him saying his prayers in Gaelic. The story of the Irish community and O'Neill is a rather long one. For this record, it is probably sufficient to point out that there was a community of Irish emigrants starting up in O'Neill, and the Homestead Act would have made it easy for would-be farmers to get free land. Further research would suggest that James Hannagan & John Fallon/O'Fallon met in St. Louis and became brothers-in-law.6/11/2000 - Aunt Lucile said the Grandpa Hannagan brought his parents, sisters and brother from Ireland to the United States once he was settled here. according to Aunt Lucile, Grandpa Hannagan was a stowaway on a ship from Ireland.
