Notes -

 

1.  Given name, birth date and birth place of Edward Quirk ref. US Census records.

 

a.  The Historical and Biographical Record of Greene and Carroll Counties, Iowa, 1887 references Edwin [Edward], the father of Fr. Michael Quirk as over 100.  This is probably an embellishment of the truth as census figures are consistent with a 1800 birth date until the 1880 Census when his age suddenly increased by five years. 

 

i.   US Census, 1850, South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Edward Quirk, age 50 [1800].

ii.  US Census, 1860, South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Edmund Quirk, age 60 [1800].

iii. US Census, 1870, South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Edmund Quirk, age 70 [1800].

iv.  US Census, 1880, South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Edwin Quirk (Edwian), age 85 [1795].

 

b.  Casey family history as compiled by genealogist John (Jack) Casey lists Edward's birth year as 1779.  This is most likely a typographical error with 1799 being the intended date.  Jack Casey also cites the 1856 Iowa Census showing Edward Quirk as 55.

 

c.  Rev. Loras C. Otting, Archivist Archdiocese of Dubuque notes in his e-mail 22 Apr 2004 to Richard C. Casey that:

 

Paul Neiers recorded all the tombstones in the Cascade cemetery, and sent me a printout.

 

In St. Martin Cemetery, now Calvary, are three Quirks, namely, Edward born 1791, died Feb. 26, 1889, age 98; Johanna, born 1820, died June 04, 1892, age 72; Ellon (sic) Nellie, born 1839, died Feb. 21, 1923, age 84.

 

 

2.  Ref. to the emigration date of Edward Quirk to the United States.

 

Edward Quirk was listed in 1856 as having been in the United States 7 years.  He was described as a landowner-farmer with 80 acres of improved land and 1,000 acres of unimproved land.  In addition to land his assets are listed as 19 tons hay, 10 bushels grass seed, 3 acres spring wheat and 97 bushels harvested wheat.

 

In reality, Edward had been in the US for a much longer period of time than '7' years as his eldest son Michael is listed in the Historical and Biographical Record of Greene and Carroll Counties, 1887, as having been born November 29, 1838 in Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi.

 

Allowing that genealogist Jack Casey's later notation that land was granted to Edward Quirk in 1848 is accurate, it is likely that Edward Quirk in 1856 had been in Delaware County Iowa - not the United States - for a period of '7' years.

 

Edward married Johanna Shane1, daughter of Unknown Shane and Mary Unknown. Johanna was born2,4,6,7 1820 in Ireland. She died2 4 Jun 1892 and was buried2,8 in Calvary Cemetery, Cascade, Dubuque County, Iowa.

Johanna was6,7,9 keeping house in 1848 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for9 24 Nov 1850 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for 21 Aug 1860 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for6 23 Jul 1870 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for7 16 Jun 1880 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was buried from8 St. Martin's Catholic Church 6 May 1892 at Cascade, Cascade Township, Dubuque County, Iowa.

Notes -

 

1.  Federal Census records record various ages and name spellings.  All sources list Johanna's birthplace as Ireland.

 

a. US Census, 1850 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Johannah Quirk, age 31 [1819].

b. US Census, 1860 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Johanna Quirk, age 43 [1817].

c. US Census, 1870 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Johanah Quirk, age 48 [1822].

d. US Census, 1880 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Joanna Quirk, age 58 [1822].

 

Editor's Note:  This database uses the spelling recorded in the St. Martin's Church Cemetery Records, Cascade, Iowa - Johanna.

 

 

2.  Ref. birth year of Johanna Shane Quirk.

 

a. The Casey family history as compiled by John (Jack) Casey suggests two ages for Johanna Shane Quirk. One lists a birth date of 1800 with no reference.  The other reference is the Iowa Census of 1856 which lists Johanna as age 34 - implying a birth date of 1822.

b. Based on the US Census data for South Fork Township, 1850 - 1880, it is likely that Johanna Shane Quirk was born abt 1820.

 

 

3.  Later Federal Census records for Patrick Augustus and Mary Quirk Casey imply that Johanna Quirk was born in Canada.

 

a. US Census, 1900 - Ward 3, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.

b. US Census, 1910 - Ward 3, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.

c. US Census, 1920 - Ward 3, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.

d. US Census, 1930 - Ward 3, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.

 

Editor's Note:  Census records for other children are inconsistent, showing Johanna's birthplace as Ireland or Canada.  What is known is that Johanna came to the United States via Canada.  Ireland is referenced more often than Canada.

 

The sons of Mary Shane, thought to be the Mother of Johanna Shane Quirk, on the farm neighboring the Edward Quirk family are all shown to have been born in Ireland.

 

It is probable that Johanna was born in Ireland, emigrated to Canada; then emigrated from Canada to the United States.

 

 

4.  Ref. siblings of Johanna Shane Quirk.

 

Based on US Census information for South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa (1880) and US Census information for Grand Junction, Junction Township, Greene County, Iowa (1880) it is thought that Robert N. Shane, age 64 [54] of South Fork and Johanna Shane Quirk, age 58 of South Fork were siblings.  The following facts support this conclusion.

 

a. The farms of Edward Quirk and Robert Shane bordered one another.

b. A Mary Shane was enumerated in both South Fork, Delaware County, Iowa and Grand Junction, Greene County, Iowa.  Robert Shane, neighbor to the Quirk family had a daughter Mary.  It is highly likely Mary, age '13' of South Fork in June 1880 and Mary, age '12' in Grand Junction 'with priest' in July of 1880 are the same individual.  Fr. Michael J. Quirk, Mary Quirk (Michael Quirk's sister and housekeeper) and Mary Shane would have been first cousins.  It is completely reasonable to believe that a young first cousin could visit a priest and his sister during the summer months.

c. The US Census, 1900 - Dubuque, Julien Township, Dubuque County, Iowa shows the middle initial of Johanna's son Robert as 'N.'  Robert Shane, neighbor to Johanna Quirk, also had a son Robert 'N.'

 

 

5.  Rev. Loras C. Otting, Archivist Archdiocese of Dubuque notes in his e-mail 22 Apr 2004 to Richard C. Casey that:

 

Paul Neiers recorded all the tombstones in the Cascade cemetery, and sent me a printout.

 

In St. Martin Cemetery, now Calvary, are three Quirks, namely, Edward born 1791, died Feb. 26, 1889, age 98; Johanna, born 1820, died June 04, 1892, age 72; Ellon (sic) Nellie, born 1839, died Feb. 21, 1923, age 84.

 

They had the following children:

[St. Joseph's Church, Rickardsville, Dubuque County, Iowa]

 

St. Joseph's church at Rickardsville was established by the French settlers before 1837, about two miles south of the present church. Father Cretin, later bishop, was the first pastor and probably organized the congregation. In 1860 a large frame church was erected at Rickardsville, which was nearer the center of the parish. In 1905 a fine brick building was erected. Among the pastors have been Rev. Frs. Malony, Byrne, Quirk, Daly, Brody, McCarthy, Mahoney, Clark and others. Adjacent is the school, priest's residence and cemetery.

a.  Littleport.

 

The Roman Catholic church, a short distance from the village, was built in 1870, by the parish of Littleport. It was superintended and erected by D. Hays. Father J.J. Quigley was the first pastor and preached the first sermon. After one year he was succeeded by Father Michael Quirk, in 1872. He was in charge nearly five years, and was succeeded by Father B.W. Coyle in 1876. He is the present pastor. The first executive committee were Dennis Hays, John Farrell and Timothy Murphy. They purchased forty acres of land in 1876 for the church and for a cemetery. The present membership is about thirty-five families. There is a Sunday-school of 100 in connection with the church.

 

b.  Cox Creek

 

The Cox Creek Church of the Sacred Church was built in 1875, at an expense of $2,000. It was paid for by subscription, collected by Rev. M. J. Quirk. This Father was the first pastor of the church. James Burns, Englebert Ollinger, Bartholomew Dillon, James Ivory, Timothy Glenning, John Dunn and Michael Carr (who gave the land for the church) were among the first members of the church. The first religious services were held in private houses, particularly at the homes of Michael O'Brien, James Joy and B. Dillon. They were conducted first by Father Michael Lynch. He was succeeded in turn by Father McGinnis, Father Nagel, Father Obyrne, Father Quigley, Father Quirk, Father Coyle, Father Hackett and Father Rowe, the present pastor. The present membership is 225, and the church is now prosperous, and the building is soon to be put in thorough repair. There is a Sunday-school of forty members, organized in 1875. The average attendance is thirty-five.

 

5.  Ref. General Biographical information

 

Biographical and Historical Record of Greene and Carroll Counties,

Iowa...Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1887

 

Michael Joseph Quirk, pastor of Grand Junction Catholic church, was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, November 29, 1838, son of Edwin Quirk, of Delaware County Iowa, who was born in Cork, Ireland, and is over one hundred years old. He is still hale and vigorous. His mother was Joanna Shane, a native of Quebec, Canada. The father was in Chicago when there was nothing to indicate the future great city except the barracks and a tavern. Our subject was educated at St. Mary's Seminary in Perry County, Missouri, and at St. Vincent's College at Cape Girardeau, and in St. Thomas' Seminary at Bardstown, Kentucky. He received his theological education at St. Frances' Theological College of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, graduating there in 1870. He was ordained at Dubuque in November 1870, by Bishop Hennessy. After his ordination he went to Clayton county and took charge of mission work in that and adjoining counties until the fall of 1875, when he went to Rickardsville, this State, and built a house of worship, being the first resident priest in that place. In the spring of 1877 he went to St. Rose's in Fayette County, where he had much hard work to do. He finished the church and organized other churches, besides establishing a parochial school there. He came to Grand Junction in September, 1879, and has built up a good congregation. He is building a fine brick church, and has six other appointments besides the one in Grand Junction. He is a very hard worker in the cause of Christianity, sparing neither time nor means to further its interest.

TOWNS AND VILLAGES

 

Greene county is well dotted with villages that have been made possible by the advent of railways, the necessities of the people and the shrewd calculations of men who saw more money for themselves in a farm platted into town lots and covered with buildings than in an ordinary quarter section acreage under best cultivation. There are ten post offices in the county at present: four on the line of the M. & St. L. Railway, Rippey, Grand Junction, Dana and Paton: five on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, Cooper, Jefferson, Farlin, Churdan and Adaza; and Scranton, located on the Chicago & Northwestern Railway (as are also Jefferson and Grand Junction) on the west side of the county. Twenty years ago there were nine post offices. Surry has lost its place on the map, and Farlin and Adaza are towns born since 1890. Angus, a once prosperous coal-mining town of 3,700 people, located in Boone county on the border of Greene, is now a

hamlet with less than a hundred people, the mines having been exhausted.

 

GRAND JUNCTION

 

Two years after the completion of the Cedar Rapids & Missouri River Railway through Greene county, a north and south railroad was built from Keokuk to Fort Dodge, passing through the east side of the county. It soon became evident that at the intersection of these two roads there would be a desirable location for a town. The "lay of the land" was discouraging for during a wet season fully half the surface was under water, and for a time after the site was established, muskrat houses were as numerous as human habitations. However, when the fact of a town at this point--to be called Grand Junction--was assured, there was eager competition among the owners of land adjoining the two railroads. "Central Grand Junction" was laid out by Hager and Sons and Percival & Hatton, of Des Moines. Howe, a division superintendent, and Estabrook, roadmaster, laid out "Grand Junction." Herron & Kelley of Pittsburgh, Pa., laid out "South Grand Junction," and Seward Smith, of Des Moines, followed with "West Grand Junction." The town includes, according to limits at present established, parts of sections thirty-two and thirty-three, township, eighty-four, and sections four and five, township eighty-three. Hager & Sons donated twenty acres to the Des Moines & Fort Dodge Railway Company with the proviso that the shops be located here, and the land was accepted on the terms proposed.

 

About this time Dr. C. B. Park and O. B. Miller established lumber yards for the convenience of builders. The first buildings in the embryotic [sic] city were Dr. Park's residence, a store by Geo. C. Hillman, a hardware store by Dr. Park, for a long series of years occupied by H. A. Parmenter & Son, and a bank and several other buildings by Hager & Son, and a bank and several other buildings by Hager & Sons. The Headlight, which pushed into the activities of the town January 1, 1870, did much to encourage immigration and the growth of the place. In fact, the year 1870 was one of the most prosperous Grand Junction ever enjoyed in the way of material progress. The census of that year indicated a population of 444. The growth was steady and stable up to the year 1885, when the enumeration made the population nearly 1,000. At that time one-third of the inhabitants were dependent for support on the railway, the advent of which had really built the town. Hopes ran high during these early years that a branch road would be built from Grand Junction to Sioux City, making the shops permanent and increasing the demand for employees. A few years later the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad took possession of the road, and soon afterward the shops were moved to Valley Junction. Since that time in the matter of growth Grand Junction has been at a standstill. It has always been a good center of local trade, and as the country has been developed by the incoming of new farmers, trade has increased and the same is true of the size of stocks and the character of goods on the shelves of the merchants. It is a remarkable fact that the firm of Geo. C. Hillman & Co., established nearly forty years ago, is still doing business on the same ground and under the same proprietorship as in the beginning.

 

CHURCHES

 

St. Bridget's Church.--This parish at one time embraced all of Greene county, the western half of Boone and a small strip of Calhoun county. A division came in 1885, when Rev. George Costello was appointed to St. Patrick's church in Cedar township, with Churdan and Lohrville as out missions. In 1893 Rev. Edward O'Farrell, became pastor of Jefferson, with Scranton and St. Mary's, in Franklin township, as out missions. In 1878 Rev. O'Farrell was made resident pastor at Grand Junction, the parish became a compact unit and was thoroughly organized, all the records in the parochial archives dating from his ministry. His successor was Rev. M. J. Quirk, who remained until 1888, when he was succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. P. C. Kenny. Father Quirk's ministry saw many improvements, the opening of Mt. Calvary cemetery, the erecting of the new church, a veneer brick structure in the heart of town and the opening of the parochial school known as St. Mary's academy, in September, 1888, on its present location in block 79. This left the parish property--church and school--in a scattered condition, some four blocks apart, so the present pastor had the church moved in 1896 to its present location, adjoining the school. In 1899 a parochial residence was erected between the school and the church. It is a handsome brick structure, ornamented with cut stone. The financial standing of the parish is excellent. It has ample grounds for all its needs, owns a block and a half of property and has no debt at all. The Grand Junction church recognizes as daughters the prosperous parishes of Jefferson, Ogden and Churdan. It has an out mission parish now supplied by its pastor at Paton, referred to elsewhere.

 

St. Mary's Academy.--This educational institution, conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, was opened in 1888. It has a building well adapted for school uses and handsome grounds, and a campus that  gives ample opportunity for outdoor exercise. The course of study consists of twelve grades, eight of which are preparatory to the high school, which offers an English and classical course of four years. Special attention is paid to the musical department, both in instrumental and vocal lines, embracing the latest and most approved methods. The art department offers a course in drawing and perspective, with oil and water colors as a later benefit. The usual attendance is seventy-five, and the musical class numbers fifty.

Nellie was accounted for5 24 Nov 1850 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for4 21 Aug 1860 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for6 23 Jul 1870 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for7 16 Jun 1880 in South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. She was accounted for14 5 Jun 1900 in Ward 3, Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa. She was accounted for15 11 Jan 1920 in Anamosa, Fairview Township, Jones County, Iowa.

Notes -

 

1.  Federal Census records for Ellen Quirk's birth date and birth place are as follows.

 

a. US Census, 1850 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Age 9, Mississippi [1841].

b. US Census, 1860 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Age 17, Mississippi [1843].

c. US Census, 1870 - South Fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Age 24, Mississippi [1846].

d. US Census, 1880 - South fork Township, Delaware County, Iowa. Age 34, Mississippi [1846].

 

Ellen and her brother were both born in Mississippi; followed by John and Robert born in Louisiana - all before arriving in Iowa in 1848. Based on the assumption that it is unlikely that the family moved from Mississippi to Louisiana and produced three children in a little over two years the original date for Ellen's birth is probably accurate.

 

 

2.  Ref. whereabouts of Ellen Quirk after 1900.

 

a.  US Census, 1900 - Ward 3, Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa lists a Nellie Quirk, b. Dec 1862 Mississippi, Father - Ireland, Mother - Canada (Irish).

b.  US Census, 1920 - Anamosa, Jones County, Iowa lists a Nellie Quirk, 55, b. Mississippi, Father - Ireland, Mother - Canada.

 

Editor's note:  Despite references to age in later census information.  It is highly likely that the Nellie Quirk cited above is, indeed, daughter of Edward and Johanna Quirk.  She would have been 59 in 1900 and 79 in 1920.

Editor's Note:  It was a well known fact in the Casey family that Mary Quirk Casey was nearly eleven years older that her husband 'Gus'.  He was born in 1864.  1853 is Mary's correct birth date.

 

Despite the kind efforts of family to immortalize Mary's birthdate as 1856 on her grave marker, 1853 is still probably the correct date.

 

Mary married20 Patrick Augustus Casey "Gus"1, son of Patrick Casey and Bridget M. McManus, on 23 Sep 1884 in Delaware County, Iowa. Gus was born1,21 28 Feb 1864 in Meriden, Earl Township, La Salle County, Illinois.

Notes -

 

1.  Ref. death date of Patrick Augustus Casey as cited by his death notice, Mason City Globe Gazette, Jan 1942:

 

Augustus Casey, 77, died at a local hospital about 10 o'clock Wednesday night, following a brief illness.  He had been a resident of Mason City for the past 58 years.

 

Mr. Casey was born Feb. 28, 1864 at Earlville, Ill.  He was married to Miss Mary G. Quirk in September, 1885, at Sand Springs, Iowa.  For 47 years he was roundhouse foremen for the Milwaukee road, having retired in 1932.

 

Surviving Mr. Casey is a son, Harold Casey, Mason City, and seven grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary G. Casey, Jan. 20, 1935, by two daughters in infancy and one son, Frank Casey.

 

The body will be taken from the Meyer funeral home to the Casey residence, 729 North Federal avenue, Friday forenoon and will lie in state there until the time of the services.  The Rosary will be said there Friday evening at 8 o'clock.

 

Funeral services will be held at the Holy Family Catholic church at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning, with Father R. P. Murphy in charge.  Burial will be at St. Joseph's Catholic cemetery.

 

Editor's Note:  As in the case of efforts of family members to minimize the age difference between Gus and Mary Casey by showing 1856 as her birth date, 1860 is also not Gus' birth date.  1864 is the correct year.  His obituary notes that he was 77 on 7 Jan 1942 which would put his birth year correctly as 1864.  In correcting Mary's birth date to 1853 and Gus' to 1864 the difference is eleven years, known to have been true by immediate family members, if not siblings living at the time.
