Notes:

NOT related to Rohan who married John Cox's sister, per Cox family histo ry by Rose Cox Murphy in 1966

In Rose Cox Murphy's Family History written in 1966 she writes;My grandfather married Catherine Rohan. Both were born in County Clare. S he was not related to the Rohan who married his sister, Mary. Both are bur ied in Holland, Wisconsin. They were married in Ireland. She was bo rn on a farm about seven miles northwest of Killaloe, overlooking the Shan non river in a section called Ogonnelloe. When in Ireland in 1959, I visit ed the Rohan ancestral home where my grandmother lived. A cousin of min e, Willie Rohan lives there. Mrs. Kitty Phelan (now deceased) of the Richa rdson Store in Killaloe, gave me a list of my relatives. One that I met w as Matthew Rohan of Ballina Tipperary County, across the Shannon river fr om Killaloe. His brother Killian Rohan is the head meteroligist at Shann on Airport. The Rohan's are a highly respected family in Ireland. There a re many priests in the family, including the Very Reverand James A. Clun e, P.P. Cooraclare; Reverand Griffin, whose mother Mrs. B. Griffin liv es in Blackwater; Father Edward Rohan, a missionary in Bingara, New Sou th Wales.

Biography:
2002 From the Archives at Sinsinawa; Baptized name Maggie, born in 1851, as reported when she entered the convent at age 23. Received her habit on April 5, 1874, professed her vows on August 4, 1875 and died on M ar 30, 1897.Sister Mary Bartholomew Cox; Sister Mary Bartholomew Cox died almost suddenly at Waukegan, Illinois, where she was superioress of the convent at the time, March 30, 1897, in the twenty third year of her religious life. Sister's life had been spent as a teacher on the Missions, and the devotion and reverence which pupils and people felt towards her on the various missions where she exercised her zeal, give the best idea of her unselfish application to the work of education. The interest she took in her pupils even after they had left school showed her zeal for the souls redeemed by the Precious Blood, and her desire to make Catholic manhood and Catholic womanhood in this country an unanswerable argument in favor of the One True Church on earth. A severe cold which developed into pnuemonia and resisted alike the skill of physicans and the loving care of her Sisters, brought Sister Bartholomew to receive the reward of her zealous labors in the Master's vineyard. Her remains were brought to St. Clara for internment. Sister Bartholomew was a sister of Sister Mary Hilary Cox of this community who died several years earlier.

Biography:
From the Archives at Sinsinawa in 2002; Baptized name Katie, listed as bo rn in 1854 when she entered the convent at age 21. Received her habit on A ug 4, 1875, professed her vows on August 4, 1876 and died on April 4, 1881 .SISTER MARY HILARY COX - Sister Mary Hilary Cox was received into the comm unity on August 4, 1875. She was everything that one could expect from a g ood religious, earnest, perfectly obedient and always cheerful so, and o ne of the most unselfish of beings. She was remarkable for her great inter est in the Community's welfare, so that she never seemed to be a young Sis ter but rather one who had long indentified herself with the general goo d. Most of her religious life was spent on the mission in Bloomington, Ill inois, where she taught the higher grades in the boy's department. Not on ly her own pupils but all the children in the school loved and revered he r. Her faith in prayer was another charchteristic. All her doubts and diff iculties, the temporal and spiritual needs of her Sisters and her pupils w ere laid before Our Lord in the tabernacle. Towards the end of the four th year of her profession, her health began to decline. After a few mont hs it was manifest that consumption was at work. Sister came home to di e, and for about ten months she bore great suffering with uniform patien ce and resignation. On April 4, 1881, about an hour after receiving the Ho ly Viaticum, she breathed her last, being then twenty-seven years of age.
From the archives at Sinsinawa, Sister Robertine wrote in 1978 that the na me Hilary was given to her Aunt and also to her sister Marjorie's boy, bo th in honor of Sister Mary Hilary Cox (1854-1881). Sister Hilary, O.P., b uried at Sinsinawa, Wisconsin.
From the "ANNALS OF THE SISTERS OF THE THIRD ORDER OF SAINT DOMINIC OF T HE CONGREGATION OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY OF SINSINAWA, WISCONSIN" - THE CON VENT OF SAINT JOSEPH, BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, DIOCESE OF CHICAGO, ESTABLISH ED IN 1848,
BEGINING MARCH 11, 1876.On the 11th day of March 1876, Sister M. Reginald Kean, Sister M. Gonza ga Doyle, Sister M. Lucina Foy, Sister M. Emerentia Martin and Sist er M. Hilary Cox were, by the Council of Saint Clara Convent, Sinsinawa, W isconsin, sent to be the first Sisters of the Convent of Saint Joseph, Blo omington, Diocese of Chicago.
From the Annuls of Holy Trinity convent Bloomington, IN. "Sister Mary Hila ry Cox taught the boys' school in the old frame building once used as a Me thodist Church. She made the work a marked success-- in the face of many d ifficulties. Sister Hilary's love of truth could surely make her the bann er bearer of the Dominican motto, "Veritas". A pupil of the Sisters (Mi ss Quinn) took Sister's name when she became a member of the Community, af ter Sister Hilary Cox's death. She now (1922) bears the name Sister Mary H ilary Quinn. Sister Hilary Cox died in 1881, from a cold first contract ed while Watching with another Sister by the bier of Rev. Father Murph y. He was for sometime assistant priest at Holy Trinity Church. His dea th was sudden and a great shock to Father McDermot. His remains were tak en to the Church. Here members of the Congregation and some of the Siste rs watched during the night and day."

-----------------------------------------ANNALS OF THE SISTERS OF THE THIRD ORDER OF SAINT DOMINIC OF THE CONGREGAT ION OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY OF SINSINAWA, WISCONSINTHE CONVENT OF SAINT JOSEPH, BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, DIOCESE OF CHICAGO, ES TABLISHED IN 1848,
BEGINING MARCH 11, 1876.The diocese of Peoria was established May 1, 1877 under Rt. Rev. John Lanc aster Spalding, a most kind and interested friend of our congregation.In the name of Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and of the Bless ed Virgin Mary and of Saint Dominic, our Father and Founder we commence th ese annals of the Convent of Saint Joseph, Bloomington, Illinois, Dioce se of Chicago.On the 11th day of March 1876, Sister M. Reginald Kean, Sister M. Gonza ga Doyle, Sister M. Lucina Foy, Sister M. Emerentia Martin and Sist er M. Hilary Cox were, by the Council of Saint Clara Convent, Sinsinawa, W isconsin, sent to be the first Sisters of the Convent of Saint Joseph, Blo omington, Diocese of Chicago.At this time the basement of what is now Holy Trinity Church was covered o ver and used by the parish for religious services. Their new church, whi ch was nearly completed, was blown down by a windstorm. Some of the windo ws were unfastened during the night. Bloomington and vicinity lie in the o utskirt of cyclone range, hence the accident. In a more recent date the he avy iron cupola of the Court House was taken away by a similar cyclone. T he new church was not insured and in this way a double burden of paying f or it was placed upon the parish. The priest in care of the parish beca me discouraged and returned to the East.When the Rev. Father McDermot was appointed to the Bloomington Paris h, in 1875, he found its financial condition so stringent that he asked t he Sisters of Saint Joseph, then in charge of the school, to depend for th eir salary upon the tuition collected from, their pupils. Their superior w as not prepared to accept those terms and the Sisters withdrew. The Pasto r, Rev. Father McDermot, knew our Sisters in Dixon where he had been assis tant with Father Hodnett. He hoped Mother M. Emily Power would help him co ntinue a Catholic School in Bloomington. He went to the Mound to see Moth er Emily and explained the circumstances of his parish. The application w as favorably considered by Mother and her Council who in a short time se nt the first band of Dominican Sisters to Bloomington. At this time Bloomi ngton formed a part of the Chicago Diocese, but was expected soon to beco me a part of the Peoria Diocese. Many of the Rev. Clergy had been consider ing Bloomington a fit location for the new Cathedral and Bishop's residenc e.On arriving in Bloomington, the Dominican Sister's found Saint Joseph's Co nvent a well built brick structure having two stories besides a basement a nd attic. There was also an addition in the shape of an ell extending sou th from the convent. This was used for schoolrooms in which the girls atte nded. The rooms for the boys of the parish were in an old frame building s aid to have been at one time a Methodist Church. Near this building w as a factory keeping up a ceaseless din and whirr--most trying to the teac hers and pupils in the schoolrooms. Today (1915) it stands with its wal ls almost rusted away, waiting the spring-cleaning to carry it off. The pa vement on Center Street was made from stones once deposited by a glacial d rift. At this time (1877) mules drew the cars over those uneven stones. To day (1917) the electric car whirls over a smooth pavement, and the proper ty on both sides of the street is owned by the Dominican sisters who we re greatly aided by Rev. Fr. Weldon and the people of the parish in securi ng this property. When the old stone pavement was removed to clear the w ay for a new one, the medley of stones removed from the pavement spoke pla inly of their origin from rocks far away to the North. They would gladd en the heart of a geologist. A well of delicious spring water stood betwe en the buildings of the boys' and Girls' schools. Mr. Callallan, our li fe long janitor, complained for many a day over the loss of the fine wate r, when this well was filled up. Over its site a seedling maple took ro ot and finding with its roots the moisture beneath the ground, stands a hu ndred feet, shading the yard from the hot summer sun. In the kitchen the re was a soft water pump which with the springjust mentioned was the only supply of water the Sisters then had. Now a si x-inch water pipe conducted from the new main water pipe running along Cen ter Street stands a faithful guardian in case of fire. At the same time th at the water main was laid along Center Street a large sewer pipe was lai d. This makes it possible to have perfect sanitary conditions in the build ings nearby for without them no plumbing conditions could be of much goo d. Every room in the convent except the Chapel, was heated by a small so ft coal stove. In the Chapel there was a hard coal stove. The soft coal st oves were very small and the legs of some of them were loose and like ly to fallout. Each Sister had the care of a stove and when its shaky l eg fell off, the luckless Sister was in a sad plight.Almost at the first arrival of the Sisters in Saint Joseph's, Rev. Moth er Emily Power came for a short time to Bloomington. Everyone was busy put ting affairs in order. Mother sent Sister Reginald to meet the callers. (S ister Reginald had been appointed superior) while Mother herself direct ed the Sisters in their many tasks of getting the place ready. The Sist er s began their work with characteristic thrift and energy. Before two y ears, there were numbered in the Select School- many pupils from the be st families in the city notably from non-Catholic homes.All the schools prospered and were well attended. The closing exercises pl anned by Sister Reginald were highly entertaining, besides a source of re venue--no small matter in those days.The year 1879 found the Rev. Father McDermot breaking in health under t he heavy labor of erecting Holy Trinity Church and in short time he withdr ew to another appointment made by the Rev. Bishop Spalding. The Rev. Fath er McDermot did not live more than two years from this time. He died sudde nly, but had the consolation of the Sacrament of Penance a few hours befo re his death. The people in Bloomington who knew him best, still spe ak of his remarkable kindness Charity--worn out, long before his time to g o, by his loving zeal for souls.

Date: 7/23/2003 8:27:13 PM Pacific Standard Time From: moly2@juno.com Hello Jay, Looks as tho I have good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that the death record for John is that of a 2-1/2 year old baby. I made a copy anyway in case they are in your family, the names of the parents are William & Mary Cox in Madison.I did find the record for Gregory and have a copy of that. It states that his parents were both living at the time of his death in 1905.I found the marriage record for John and Frances and have a copy of that also.I am wondering if John and Frances died after 1907 because I didn't see any death records that fit them. If you can possibly give me any more information on their deaths, my friend will look for them this Friday at the County Records Office where she has an appointment. If not, I'll give her the info that I have and see what she can find. If we can get the exact death dates for John & Frances at the County Records Office then you will be able to send to the Register of Deeds in Madison for the certificate .I will need your address to send the copies of the certificates that found today.

Elizabeth attended St. Mary's Elementary School and F reeport High School and Freeport High School. She entered St. Clara Noviti ate after high school and, on Aug 5, 1929, made her first religious profes sion as Sr. Robertine. Sr. Robertine was an elementary teacher and resour ce tutor for 47 years. She taught in the following schools:

She said this: Sr. Robertine wrote a paper in which she spoke of t he graces of growing up in a loving famiy"The heritage of a Christian educ ation in our home, through St. Clara's Academy's gifts of beauty receiv ed by our mother, resulted in a family with a desire to serve others and e ducated for service in the fields of welfare, medicine and mental health ." In 1978 Sr. Robertine wrote: From the first sign of my vocation, I w as graced with a love for Christ in the Eucharist, a firm belief that my v ocation was to the Sinsinawa Dominicans, a great love for prayer and servi ce to children and to the needy. All of these have grown through the Spir it into my Dominican vocation characterized in our Constitution as a ca ll to prayer, and an awareness of the needs of the church." Sr. Mary Ell en continued: Through long bouts of illness of mind and body, she continu ed to preach the Gospel. Through gentleness, peaceflness, and a strong int erest in what was happening in the world, in her family, and in our congre gation, she continued to pray and preach. She loved study and wrestling wi th truth. She kept up as best she could on what was happening in the wor ld and loved to share her thoughts with others.At the Wake, Selina Stanaway, OP, offered her reflection on Sr. Robertine 's life. Sr. Sal said the following: Sr. Robertine lived her vocation in g ood times, in hard times, in good health and in poor health. She lov ed to teach and instilled a love of reading in many young people. In her l ast years, she taught through her smile, given to those who minister ed to her and that indicated acceptance, despite pain and loss of freedo m. She preached through her resilience, har waiting for death to com e. In his homily, Father Matt said this: Over the years, Jesus prepar ed a special place for Sr. Robertine in his father's house. It is a dwelli ng built for her selfless ministry as a teacher, built of her thoughtfulne ss in community, built of her smiles and tears, built of her hope and tru st in the God who called her so many years ago to make God's Word her home .

We give voice to our faith in the po wer of Christ's resurrection from the dead and we give praise and than ks to God for her life and the gifts that she so generously used in preach ing the Good News of the Gospel. .....(repeats much of the info on her bir th date etc....)

Biography:
1978 Letter written by Sister Robertine; Saint Peter's School 449 High Str eet; Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54901 December 2, 1978
Dear Sister Cecelia,Blessed New Year! 1978--Fifty-two years ago on the twenty-seventh of Decem ber an eighteen year old daughter of a grand old dad approached him with t he request, "Dad, may I start the New Year right?"
'What do you mean?""May I go to the Mound for New Year's?" This was after a wait from July, w hen his response had been, "Don't ever speak to me of this again!"On that day, his response was, "You seem to have made up your min d. It is up to you and your mother. "Gifts from Christmas made immediate preparations possible. That afterno on Sister Virginia and I took the list of necessary articles and
purchased a trunk and contents.Thus Sister Virginia, Mother, my two beloved brothers and I set out in twe lve degree below weather to start my life in response to the call of the S pirit. In the spring, when I approached Father Binz, he asked what I wish ed to speak to him about. My answer was, "'A vocation." "Thank God, it 's about time you talked to someone." Through the years my life with the W AY, TRUTH, AND LIFE has been open at times, and hidden at others. Before l eaving Baltimore my director advised that the time had come to speak. My p reparations for coming to Oshkosh are known. What may not be known is t he waiting for the Spirit at the present time. Here begins the Call of t he Spirit for Advent in 1979--the year, seventy, and eighty if you are str ong! 1909-1979.The months since coming to Oshkosh have been characteristic of my life; in terest in many things, never a dull moment, watching and waiting for the m oments of significance which were always contemplated in my morning Holy H our after community prayers. There was never anxiety or tension since t he Fruits of the Spirit of Charity, Peace, Patience, and Joy were domina nt in the vocation to which I had been called. As Advent approached the re was a stronger awareness of the breaking of a new day, without an under standing of what was ahead. The following gems are simply vignettes of sig nificance. It is difficult to present them in this manner, but I am awa re that I must meet the challenge which was on the Search program a few we eks ago:
"He who speaks, knows not, He who knows, speaks not!"
1. During retreat one of my assigned readings was Jer. 29:11-14. Whi le at prayer this was not the focus which dominated; instead it was Jer. 2 9:7. "Promote the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you; pray f or it to the Lord, for upon its welfare depends you own."
2. My background as a teacher has been often directed to the welfare of t he accelerated student. This was particularly true in South Saint Paul whe re parent relationships brought me into contact with Mr. Michelson, an exe cutive at 3 M. It was through him that "Cooperation Westside" profited fr om his giving me the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of public relat ions on the morning of Christmas Eve in the early seventies. The top m an in this area spent from nlne to one glvlng me the essentlal "know how ". "Cooperatlon Westside", an ecumenical neighborhood group had received $ 10,000 from Lutheran Board of America, and it was their choice that I wo rk on the funding committee to supplement that. Mr. Michelson also se nt me an overhead projector during my one summer experience in teaching re ligion. This was left as a donation to the center in Cheyenne. At this sa me assignment Binney and Smith sent the art supplies for the following sum mer when the pictures of the achievements of two weeks work were sent to t hem. Saint Mary's School had given aides in high school students and all a rt supplies. The blessings rewarded the effort expended.
3. Three of the four summers which I spent In the Diocesan Summer Scho ol in Rockford were for students with IQ's from 125-150 ingrades 5-8. Planning, getting books, organizing the program for from twel ve to 15 students of varying background was indeed a challenge; howev er it is the reason for my seeing my place here in this well-organized sch ool in Oshkosh. This is the Wisconsin area of our Founder, the Church h as moved in accord with Vatican II, our Sisters are living together, prayi ng together, sharing together, and laughing together beautifully as Servan ts of the Church. (Mother's advice to me as a young Sister was, "Get a go od laugh every day, even i f you have to go th the funny paper for it.")
4. Last week I was approached by the Charismatic group who were prepari ng for a Mass which seemed to be a beginning. I know that Sister Janette a nd Sister Liz let you know how this came about. I go where I am called, of ten times only to find out what is going on. These events are simply showi ng the loving Providence of the Trinity.
5. My experience at the Museum of Science and Industry ten years ago was r ich and important in the formation of valuable friend- ships. It was al so important in my growth in the appreciation of meeting thousands of peop le daily. Therefore, when the Oshkosh Museum offered a trip there for a me re fourteen dollars, I planned on going. The last two people on the bus we re Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nolan. He is a prominent lawyer who is an advis or to many influential people here in Oshkosh, around Wisconsin, and abroa d. His wife is involved in many areas of social activities, and has run f or office in the county for eleven terms. Despite the fact that I had look ed forward to reading, her taking the last seat next to me proved informat ive, and another example of the Spirit. From seven o'clock until ten-thir ty we rode along peacefully while she gave me much information on board s, people, and groups in Oshkosh. The transmission hose on the bus brokearound 115th and North St. in Chicago. The driver went into a Shell statio n. This gave us an hour to complacently sit and become acquainted with o ur neighbors. Mr. Nolan came to the back of the bus where we were and ma de known his experiences with our Sisters at St. Peter's over a peri od of nine years. His tributes to the various Sisters were edifying and in dicative of what our goals in education were and are. The three hours allo tted for shopping in the Loop were not to be ours; however we would be ab le to be at the Museum by the appointed time of 2 pm. The suggestion th at we cross the street to the Town and Country Coffee Shop provided furth er time for conversation. In their travels in Munich and Vienna, both fore ign museums acknowledged their advantages, but admitted that they except ed the Museum ....The letter ends here, I have written to the nuns to see if they can find t he rest of the letter.
