Notes:

Family History Researcher:
Grandpa died of leukemia Big, powerful man was suddenly taken. I think he was only in the hospital a week or soHe was a believer in education and personally went to St. Paul to the legislature to lobby for "proper" schools in the township..Thompson township, Carleton County. He had bought 80 acres of land which had been the headquarters of the logging camp from his brother in law, John Sullivan married to his sister Margaret ( this is the branch of the family that is in Florida...John went up to the Yukon and disappeared in the gold rush --we found his last letters in a safe built into the huge log walls of our house when we remodeled when Dad bought the house also the father of Sister Maureen (nee Helen Harney) Psychiatrist/head of school in D.C.and also home base at college I attended) and the surrounding lands, logged and cleared was sold off as farm land and a colony of Finns bought up the surrounding lands...so it follows that the original teachers were not too highly educated Finns..and that wouldn't do for Grandpa...(Although he was loved and truly liked and revered by his neighbors..He had the personality that Mal had and that I see in both Paige & Dirck...they sort of "sparkle" among their peers and "like" everyone when they first meet them..sort of with joy..social people, finding little fault in others.......I have the pictures...and they have them in the museum in Esko..)I guess I don't have to tell you who became the beloved teacher of the first one room school in Harney/Esko....It was your Dad. My Dad said he was the best teacher he ever had. The school was up from the farm on the Himango/North Rd. Tom was kind and patient even with young siblings and a truly good teacher.I shared a lot opf this Harney information with Linda Harney MacDonaldat www. harneyworld@netscape.net she did 62 issues of the newsletter before she quit in 2002. Her address is 1269 Road 9, Powell Wy 82435Top of the mornin to you/and the rest of the day for yourself:He was my great friend. Born June 14, 1864 in Thurles Ireland. (David Harney took a picture of the church where he was baptized among others which I cherish and sent me a copy). He came to this country at age 11 with his family. They had horses and after a brief time in upper state New York (apples) they came down the great lakes on their way to the Dakotas...which was where the land was said to be so great!.But they were not destitute as so many Irish and had brought horses with them from Ireland and when they got to Duluth, the city was laying out the streets and so got jobs using their horses to lay out streets. Luckily as that is where Jim met Anna.His father, John had married Catherine Long in Thursles, County Tipperary,Ireland and they had 7 children (they brought all of them with from Ireland). I have the classic family picture taken when Grandpa was 23 and in the picture he looks just like my son, Dirck I was delighted to see. Grandpa was very good looking.. A big man, and as Mal says in his writings, very strong (an Irish hurler). I saw that tremendous strength in my father, brother and now in my son..unbelievable strength.Grandpa smoked a pipe. Of course, he had to sit on the back porch to do so and so it was fun for us kids to sit around his chair. He worked long hours and his farm was perfected by clearing all the land and putting stone fences all around. He loved his horses. And I remember he had a special horse barn (which had been the basis of the Sullivan lumber company) where he kept them..huge beasts..and the joy of being 6 years old was when he let me take the reins.. He was very proud of his grandchildren and I often got to walk the farm with him, big man that he was, he seemed like a giant to me. but where he had been strict with his own kids, he was a push over for his grandchildren.He drove like a race car driver...never under 60-70 miles an hour and my mother dreaded driving with them. She would sit in the back seat in a corner clutching my sister and I. He put Grandma's head through the windshield on one occasion making his turn off the highway...she got out and walked the mile home.. Windshield was destroyed Front end all bent in a ditch. My mother never got over that...she took it worse than Grandma..He died August 19, 1939, We had been at the hospital the day before, strange to see him in that hospital bed, labored breathing..(.I had my first lamb for dinner in the hospital cafeteria..and have never eaten it since) when they told us the next day that he had died, my Dad went to sit quietly...he was White of face and devastated!.. they loved their Dad.They had the wake at the farm. I remember your family was there and Tommy dared us (Pat & Tim & Marj & me) to touch Grandpa's hand in the coffin... and I remember , KNOWING That I was 6 weeks older than Tommy, I didn't hesitate a minute..neither did Tommy but the other kids all took off and wouldn't go in the parlor were the coffin was.The Harney family lived in Duluth so I got to know many of them...2 of them were professors at the College I attended.. so we had numerous funerals, family gatherings, etc. In 1996, Sister Maureen celebrated her diamond jubilee and so her immediate family, from Florida came for the ceremony...so I got to meet them and take pictures, etc.I also got to hear Sister tell of how she loved "Grandma Catharine"..etc.. first hand account!There was a Haney family news letter, discontinued now but I kept them up to date with our family ( It was not a family secret that when Grandpa (who worked the police department in Duluth and was foreman at the docks in Duluth...I have the pictures would stop on his way home and have a pint at the pub..) Anna belonged to the St. Mathew sect of Ireland and we were not even allowed soda pop in her house as "it had the spirits of the devil within it"..as apparently anything with a bottle cap had... I used to note in amazement, how her sons,, all successful men, would come home once a year, never have a drink or smoke in her house but all could nap in their chairs....even when they hadn't seen each other for a year.
I will send you more Grandpa stories as I think of them.
Happy St. Pat's day, Marion .

1984 Duluth News Tribune and Hearld dated 2/29/1984; Esko's "Mal" Harn y, a former T-man, dies - Malachi L. "Mal" Harney, 88, an Esko native w ho had a direct role in smashing the crime empires of Al Capone and Murd er Inc. will be buried in Fort Snelling National cemetery today. Harne y, one of seven children raised on a family farm in Esko, died Friday in S t. Louis Park, Minn., Health Care Center. He was born in Duluth. At t he time of his retirement from the U.S. Treasury Department in 1955, he w as said to be as powerful in federal law enforcement activities as J. Edg ar Hoover, though seldom in the public eye as was the then director of t he FBI. Harney at one time had 3000 narcotics officers and Treasury agen ts under his command. Early in a 35 year career with the Treasury Departm ent's law enforcement division - much of it during the roaring '20s and Pr ohibition era - he captured a Minnesota bootlegger who killed Harney's bro ther and fellow agent, James, at a moonshine still deep in the woods ne ar Wright and Tamarack. Later, he was involved in investigations and pros ecutions of Capone and racketeer Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, a kingpin in t he crime syndicate Murder Inc. Capone was convicted of income-tax evasi on and send to prison in 1932; Lepke went to the electric chair in a 19 36 murder and drug conspiracy case that began through an informant Harn ey would identify only as "Zeke". The prosecutor Harney worked with in t he Lepke case was Thomas Dewey, who later lost the campaign for preside nt against Harry S. Truman in a stunning upset. Harney's record as an age nt in the era of "G-men" and "T-men" made him a nemesis of Midwestern boot legging in the Prohibition war against the underworld. By the end of Wor ld War II, he had risen to assistant commissioner of Treasury Department 's Narcotics Bureau and in 1947 was named Chief Coordinator of all Treasu ry Department enforcement agencies.Washington newspapers of the 1940's and 50's reported Hardy was called up on by Truman to devise plans for protecting the President. White House aid es at that time insisted he was comparable to FBI chief Hoover in determin ing federal law enforcement policies. After retiring from the federal ser vice at age 60, he headed the Illinois Narcotics Control Division for fi ve years and later coauthored two books still use in police work, "The Inf ormer in Law Enforcement" and "The Narcotics Officers Notebook." Upon han ging up his gun, Hardy said, "I never used it, but I let the hoods kn ow it was handy." He also retained a pride in having been a Treasury agen t, saying, "Never underestimate a Treasury agent. They're like the Roy al Mounties - they always get their man." Though born in Duluth, he was r aised on a family farm in Esko mirrored what are now Harney and Himango ro ads. He attended school in Cloquet, graduating from high school there, a nd then attended the University of Minnesota, where he was a fullback on t he Golden Gophers football team. He was in the Marines during World W ar I and for a time was a teacher and football coach at the former Superi or East High School before becoming a Treasury agent. His wife, Gladys, d ied several years ago. Surviving are four brothers, Leo of Cloquet, Jo hn of Brainerd, Thomas of Dunkirk, New York, and Martin of Montreal Wiscon sin, a sister, Catherine Osbolt of Hot Springs Ark., and several nephews a nd nieces. The funeral be at noon today in Werness Brothers Funeral Chape l, Minneapolis with Chapel visitation beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Thank you for your genero us payment. I noticed on her obituary that she was survived by her husba nd Leo, so we know he was alive as of 1/30/80. And I also noticed that wh ile the the Rosary was held here in Hot Springs the body was actually buri ed in Forbes, Minnesota. Is it possible that once Leo died he was buri ed next to her, somewhere in Forbes? If so then the tombstone would ha ve a confirmed date of death on it. Are you sure he died in Hot Spring s, Arkansas? I spoke to the funeral home which handled her service local ly and they do not have a record for Leo or John James Harney. I don't kn ow what else to suggest, I hope this is helpful to you. If I can be of fu rther assistance please let

From Niece Marion Harney Newbury in April 2002;Catharine Edith Harney Osbolt was my aunt and godmother. She was bo rn in Harney Minnesota, educated at the University of Wisconsin and Univer sity of Minnesota, taught school until age 42 when she married Jake Osbol t, who owned a bank. She was the first woman to be named "Principl e" of a high school...in the '40s when the men were off to the services, s he knew more than most and assumed the leadership role with a special disp ensation from the State of Minnesota..I have a copy of the certificate... in those days women could not assume leader ship roles and in fact it wasn 't until 1947 that a married woman could be a teacher.. when a male arriv ed to be principle, Catharine went into the Red Cross and served for sever al years, when she returned she went to Chisholm,, Minnesota to teach..th at is when she met Jake..he had the bank of Chisholm. They were devot ed to each other and when Jake retired they went to Hot Springs, Ark and s pent the rest of their lives there

In another email from Marion....I received the documents back from Jay today. You have my mother to tha nk for saving your parent's 50 yr memrobilia.. she had a cedar chest fu ll of document.s She even had the letters her students sent her when s he had to quit teaching to marry my Dad in 1923.....of course, the lette rs were all bemoaing her leaving. And when mother died, I took the docum ents, giving them out to family members...she had all the newspapers on Ji m...gave those to Tim... and then Dad started giving me all momentos wh en a brother died. I even have Uncle John's army hat! with all his badges .....I have Aunt Catharine's permission from the state of Minnesota allowing h er to be a principal when Mr. Nigg, our principal got called to service in during WWII... it was a big thing for a woman to be a Pincipal in those da ys, in fact Catharine should have been given that slot 2 years prior but t hey brought in an ousider (Nigg) as only men could be principals.....but t hey were getting so short of men for teaching that they had to give up a nd give it to someone who was well qualified. She taught Nigg how to hand le the job and when they brought in the old coach fresh from the wars i n2 years later, she did resign and went into the red cross/Korea...I ha ve her buttons.... Anyway it turned out well for when she left the Red Cro ss she went to Chisolm, Minn to teach and met Jake Osbolt., Bank preside nt and widower. She was 42, he was 15 years older. she came and ak ed me (a college freshman at the time) what I thought of the age differenc e... I could have cared less..I thought they were both REALLY OLD!! so th ey had some 30 plus years of maraige and Catharine was really upset wh en he died..He was seriously ill and in his 90s, she fed him by hand, stra ined food and they were about to cut off his legs...circulatory proble ms and she was all for it!!..When she told me,Nedless to say with the cal lowness of the young, I said to my sister, "she should stuff him" and ke ep him forever. It was a real love match. Jake loved his CAMEL cigarett es and his whiskey at 6 very evening..Armegeddon is right.. and I thought the weather in Minnesota a challenge.. ..But we were prepared..and never had windstorms in Duluth or Cloquet/Es ko as we had the magnificent Lake Superior to storm over...and the wind st orms would wear themselves out over the lake and we would have piles of s now and COLD but little else to worry about. We just have earthquakes her e...however as my son says, Earhquakes are not his problem..it is the fir es that wiped him out in Berkely.
I must get Jay's pictues in order.Love, Marion

Martin was a young cub reporter working for t he local newspaper. There was a strong Finnish community in Tamarack a nd Martin had learned to speak Finnish. When law enforcement couldn't fi nd out what happened, Martin went into that area, speaking Finn, acting li ke a Finn and the men thinking he was one of them, told him, bragging th at they had killed the agent and buried him under brush pile in the wood s. Acting on this information, the body was found. The man responsible w as sent to Stillwater Minn. prison for life. However, he was released a nd the 1970's and Tim Harney, (James's son) found where he was paroled a nd working as a handyman and went to talk with him.

Hi Marion,Dad has left us for a better place. He passed away today at 12:30 p.m. at Zilber Hospice in Wauwatosa, at 96 years old. His last week was peacful and painless following three weeks of difficult struggle. He became very disoriented on Thanksgiving Day and deteriorated over the next few weeks into what was termed delirium. Nothing could bring him out of it and the doctors recommended hospice shortly before Christmas. The funeral will be at Our Lady Queen of Peace, Cloquet, from which Mother and Jimmy were buried, Friday, Jan., 5, at 11 a.m. He will be buried with Phyllis at the old Catholic cemetery. I know you cannot attend and that you will keep him in your prayers. At the risk of irreverence, I do hope there are trout streams and ski hills in Heaven. I hope you are well and that you had a lovely visit with Dirk and family over the holidays.
Always a news man and reporter where timing is everything, wouldn't you know he would wait until almost the very end of a year to leave. God Bless Him.I always remember that he was Grandma Harney's "baby" he came 4 years after the rest of the kids..who were usually 2 years apart and he was the last and he was movie star handsome and one could say (as Grandpa did) that he was spoiled. I do know that he was dapper and he was dating Phyllis when he invited Dad to her house for dinner and they had Hulda there...that is how they met..and I loved it! Dad had been slowly desolved in tears since mother died as they were so close and what a God send Hulda was..Dad was 79 and so Martin must have been74 and there they were double dating!! and for the next 15 years Dad and Hulda traveled everywhere ( Dad's free railroad passes).The Harneys usually outlived their mates and so it is a wonder that their last years are happy. Such a handsome family and the brothers were so close with a lot of love and as with all good Irish, they tried to hide it. Uncle Mal is the only one I remember that could be a bit spontaneous, (as was Grandpa Harney)I agree we have "roots" to be proud of and an 8th cousin in the Powers line (J Wilpolt) to be thankful for for putting it all together in his history....Of course, I do believe thaat Anna Ryan was working full time to get that history together.

Obituary:
Thomas Edward Harney, Jr., 88, of Ephrata, passed away at Conestoga View on February 4, 2018. Born in Fargo, ND, he was the son of the late Thomas Edward Harney, Sr. and Mayre (Healy) Harney.
At a young age, Tom became a proud member of the U.S. Navy and served at the end of World War II. He was stationed in Newport, RI on the USS Missouri and the USS Rochester. After two years of service, he attended the University of Notre Dame and Canisius College on the G.I. Bill.
Tom was passionate about his work in sales and was a long-time employee of Mohawk Finishing and Star Finishing and Touch-Up. After his retirement from sales, he worked as a driver for Phoenix Courier.
Though he loved working in sales, his true love was Notre Dame Football. Go Irish!
He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Rosemary (Messina) Harney, son Thomas E. Harney III, daughter Mary Catharine Harney Miller (Paul), and his sister Margaret "Peggy" Harney Pagano (Anthony). He is predeceased by his parents and his eldest sister Mary Catharine Harney Donahoe.

Obituary:
Lawrence Timothy "Tim" Harney passed away Oct. 31, 2016 with his loving wife of 61 years at his side.
Tim was born on July 26, 1931 to Geraldine (Glynn) Harney and James Harney in St. Paul.
After being orphaned at a young age, he was raised in Duluth by his uncle John Harney. Growing up, Tim was active in sports. He played hockey for the UMD Bulldogs. He also coached youth hockey and was instrumental in building the facilities for the Woodland Hockey rinks. He continued to play an active role in the Duluth Amateur Hockey Association for most of his life. Tim graduated from UMD in 1954. He owned an accounting firm until he sold the business and semi-retired in 1996. He continued to work part time for the firm until 2001. After he "retired", he continued to work out of his home preparing income taxes and providing accounting services until two years ago. Tim was also active in the National Guard and later Army Reserve for 32 years. He retired from the Army Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Tim was a lifelong member and very active in St. John's Catholic Church. He served on numerous boards and committees. He also volunteered as an usher until a few years ago.
In 1955, Tim married Virginia "Ginny" Cayou. Together they raised five children. One of Tim's favorite places was the cabin he built on Sturgeon Lake. The family spent most of the summer there when the kids were young. He taught his kids how to sail, water ski and work on building projects. He was always building, fixing and puttering around the cabin. Tim's cabin was a retreat where multiple generations of family and friends gathered. Tim and Ginny spent long weekends there until they sold the cabin last fall.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Patrick Harney; and grandson, Garrett Fichtner.
He is survived by his wife, Ginny; brother, Bill Trentor; children, Katie (Dick) Fichtner, Kevin (Mary) Harney, Tim (Stephanie) Harney, Molly Harney, and Dan (Heather Taft) Harney; grandchildren, Derek (Sarah Jensen) Fichtner, Brandon (Tarah) Fichtner, Marijah Tolo, Mia Minkenen, J.T Harney, Jordan Harney, Molly R Harney; and great-grandchildren, Ian and Ally Jensen-Fichtner, Dezaray, Chase and Trent Fichtner.
