Harney, James Death Record

| 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 .
