HEALY

The present Healy family, whose name was pronounced Haley and occasionally so-spelled, is treated in its Saskatchewan branch in Harvest of Memories: Sturgis and District…, 1900-2000, from which we have drawn heavily.^[1] Despite ongoing efforts since the initial publication of this work in the year 2000, we had failed to find any clue as to the parentage of John Joseph Healy or of his wife Elizabeth E. McCann, the Saskatchewan pioneers, until Marsha (Keller) Weaver contacted us with information from the extremely valuable notes made by her mother, Florence (Healy) Keller, a granddaughter of this couple, who in July 2006 was still alive at the age of 79 years. These supplied the names of John Joseph’s parents, Michael Healy and Catharine Moran. Eventually, and with much help and encouragement from other correspondents (notably Tim Barenda and Pat Levy), the line was worked back one more generation to this Michael’s parents, John Healy and Mary O’Connor, from co. Mayo, Ireland. Descendants of John Joseph Healy and Elizabeth McCann in the line of their daughter Helen Healy, wife of Christopher Lawrence Reagan, may be interested to note that this ancestral line can be carried back in Canada further in time, and through more generations, than any of the others.
    The descendants of John Joseph Healy and Elizabeth E. McCann have been extinct in the male line since the death of their youngest son, James, in 1978. Of their four sons, two died relatively young, one (James) became a priest, and one (Edward) had only daughters. The tendency of this family to produce daughters is strikingly reflected in a statement in the 1978 death notice of the Rev. James Healy, that he was “survived by 20 nieces,” and by only a single nephew, who is mentioned elsewhere in the same notice.
    In the preparation of these notes, we have consulted some works which yielded absolutely no material, and we mention a few of these here in order to spare others unnecessary effort: The Marriage Registers of Upper Canada/Canada West, vol. 8 — Johnstown District (2 vols.), and County Marriage Registers of Ontario, Canada, 1858-1869, vol. 20 — Leeds & Grenville Counties.
    We should like to thank for their assistance:

• Del Lubiniecki, of Crystal Lake, Saskatchewan, for giving us our first introduction to this family
• Marsha (Keller) Weaver, daughter of Florence (Healy) Keller, who kindly supplied extracts from her mother’s work
• Tom Schaffner, who not only provided material on his own branch of the family but furnished copies of photographs and of several important newspaper notices
• Mike Ransom (not a Healy descendant), the editor of the alumni website for the Academy of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, who made a number of valuable suggestions concerning sources
• Glenda McPhadden Franklin, who sent information on the family of Anthony Healy and Sophia McDonald
• Tim Berenda, for information not only on his own Healy family but for drawing our attention to the transcriptions of church and cemetery records (mentioned further below) made by Anne Burgess
• Pat Levy, a descendant of a different Healy family, who kindly shared valuable materials from her files, including the burial record of Mary (O’Connor) Healy and all the extracts from the records of St. Edward Church, Westport, Crosby North Township, Leeds Co., Ontario
• Dorothy (Pritt) Healey, wife of Philip Charles Healey, for information on their family
• Margaret Quigley, for information on the family of William John Moran, husband of Julia Ann Healy.

Finally, we must acknowledge our debt to Christine M. Spencer, of Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, whose series of transcriptions of Leeds County source materials have assisted in the preparation of these notes, and to Anne Burgess, who published extracts from the registers of the (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo, concession 6, lot 27 of Kitley Tp.^[2]

                John Joseph Healy = Elizabeth McCann

1. ____ Healy, of Ireland, apparently of co. Mayo, would seem to have been father of both the following children:

1. 2John Healy, b. probably in 1796-97, in Ireland.
2. Catharine Healy, b. 1810-11 (aged 50 in 1861) in Ireland; alive in 1861 (no death registration found). She m. by 1847, possibly in Canada, the somewhat younger Patrick Moran, b. 1815-16 (aged 45 in 1861) in Ireland, alive in 1861.^[3] Patrick Moran signed the register entry for the burial of John Healy (below) in 1885, which suggests that Catharine was John’s sister. (In earlier versions of these notes we suggested that she was his daughter, but the estimate of her birthdate which can now be given clearly shows that such an arrangement would be chronologically impossible.) This couple is found with six or seven children in the 1861 census of Bastard Tp., in which Patrick is called a farmer, and the family’s religion is given as Church of Rome.^[4] Known issue:
   1. (?) John Moran, b. 1845-46 (aged 15 in 1861) in Upper Canada; a labourer in 1861. Although he appears with this family in the 1861 census, he is listed last, after all the other children.
   2. Mary Moran, b. 1847-48 (aged 13 in 1861) in Upper Canada.
   3. Michael Moran, b. 1849-50 (aged 11 in 1861) in Upper Canada; a labourer in 1861.
   4. Anne Moran, b. 1851-52 (aged 9 in 1861) in Upper Canada.
   5. Sylvia Moran, b. 1853-54 (aged 7 in 1861) in Upper Canada.
   6. Bridget Moran, b. 17 July 1857 in Upper Canada, bapt. 13 March 1858 in (Old) St. Philip Neri church, Toledo, with sponsors Patrick Kennedy and Mary Churchfield; alive in 1861. We have not found a marriage for her.
   7. Margaret Moran, b. 1858-59 (aged 2 in 1861) in Upper Canada.

2. John Healy, of Philipsville (sometimes spelled Phillipsville), Bastard Township, Leeds County, Ontario, farmer, was b. probably in 1796-97,^[5] in co. Mayo, Ireland (per his tombstone), and d. 13 Nov. 1885, and buried two days later at Philipsville Roman Catholic Cemetery, Bastard Tp., where a tombstone survives.^[6] Either his burial was recorded elsewhere than the place where he was buried, or the record has become estranged; for it is now (at least) to be found in the register of St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic church, Toledo, Kitley Tp., Leeds Co. The burial was attended by Patrick Moran [probably the husband of Catharine Healy, above, whom we therefore suspect to have been John’s sister] and Thomas Ralph [i.e. Thomas Rape, probably], and calls the deceased John Healy of Phillipsville, crediting him with the wildly exaggerated age of 98 years, which although in agreement with the age stated on his tombstone is irreconcilable with any reasonable estimate of his date of birth based on census records. He m. by 1821 in Ireland (assuming she was the mother of all his children), Mary O’Connor, b. probably around 1803,^[7] d. 26 Dec. 1871, and buried two days later at Philipsville Roman Catholic Cemetery, the age on her tombstone being credibly given as 75 years. Her burial record, like her husband’s, has also ended up in the register of a different church, and was found by Pat Levy at St. Edward Church, Westport, Crosby North Township, Leeds Co., Ontario. It reads: “Mrs. John Healy 28 Dec 1871, Mary O’Connor, wife of John Healy of Bastard, age 80 [surely an exaggeration], died 26 Dec 1871, interred in Catholic cemetery at Philipsville. Present: Michael Healy and Francis Healy.” Probably she was in some way related to the Peter O’Connor and Mary O’Connor who served as baptismal sponsors in 1859 to a son of Martin Healy, who was almost certainly her son (or else she was this Mary O’Connor, although it is not clear why she would have been listed by her maiden surname).
    John Healy and his wife were in Canada by the birth of their son Francis in 1835. It is possible John Healy was of the neighboring township of Kitley before coming to Bastard Township, as the 1839, 1841, and 1844 censuses show a man of this name; but these pre-1852 census records supply the names only of the heads of households, so with such a common combination of names it is impossible to be sure whether they relate to our subject.^[8] This couple has not been found in the 1852 census in Kitley Tp. or in Bastard Tp. In the 1861 census they are found very close to their son, Michael, in Bastard Tp.,^[9] and they also appear in the 1871 census of Bastard & Burgess townships, in which both their ages appear to be are wildly exaggerated.^[10] “John Haley,” with an even more exaggerated age, appears in 1881 as a widower in the household of his son Francis Haley.^[11] John Healy was clearly the father of the Michael Healy buried beside him, and which Michael named his oldest son John. We have assumed in absence of evidence to the contrary that his wife Mary was the mother of all his children.
    Mary (O’Connor) Healy is perhaps the Mary Healy of Bastard Tp. who with Anthony Rogers, also of Bastard Tp., served as a witness at the wedding of John Garvin, of Kitley, son of Thomas Garvin and Mary Hoban, to Bridget Rogers, of Bastard, daughter of Thomas Rogers and Bridget Walsh on 2 Feb. 1864 in St. Edward’s Roman Catholic Church, Westport, Ontario.^[12] An Anthony Rogers attended the burial of Mrs. Francis Healy of Phillipsville in 1894 (see below).
    The tombstones of John and Mary (O’Connor) Healy and that of their son Michael, who is buried beside them, read:

1. 3Michael Healy, b. about 1819-21 (aged 40 years in 1861, 48 in 1871) in co. Mayo, Ireland (per his tombstone).
2. (probably) Martin Healy, probably of Kitley Tp., b. 1830-31 (aged 30 in 1861) in Ireland, alive in 1861 (no death registration found), m. by 1857, Honora McDonald, b. 1829-30 (aged 31 in 1861) in Ireland, alive in 1861. This couple was in Canada by 1855, the latest possible birthdate for their daughter Mary Anne. We assume this man was the Martin Healy who served as a baptismal sponsor to a child of Ann (Healy) Hefferon in 1857. He is enumerated in Bastard Tp. in the 1861 census, in which he is called a farmer.^[13] We have not found this couple in the 1871 or 1881 censuses. Known issue:
   1. Mary Anne Healy, b. 1854-55 (aged 6 in 1861) in Upper Canada, alive in 1861.
   2. John Healy, b. 14 June 1857 in Upper Canada, bapt. 5 July following in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors John Healy [the father’s father?] and Ann Rape [wife of Francis Healy?]; alive in 1861.
   3. Michael Healy, b. 28 Aug. 1859 in Upper Canada, bapt. 16 Oct. following in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors Peter O’Connor and Mary O’Connor; alive in 1861.
3. (probably) Ann Healy (no death registration found), m. by 1857, Michael Hefferon (no death registration found). We have not found this couple in the 1861, 1871, or 1881 censuses. Known issue:
   1. Julia Hefferon, b. 9 Feb. 1857, bapt. 6 May following in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors Martin Healy [the mother’s brother?] and Bridget Munley. We have not found a marriage for her.
4. 4Francis Healy, b. probably in 1835 (aged 25 in 1861, 46 in 1881, 50 [!] in 1891) in Ontario.

3. Michael Healy, of Bastard Township, Leeds County, Ontario, son of John and Mary (____) Healy, was b. about 1819-21^[14] in co. Mayo, Ireland (according to his tombstone), d. 27 Sept. 1881, and buried beside his parents in Philipsville Roman Catholic Cemetery, Bastard Tp., his tombstone giving his age as 57 years. Michael Healy was brought by his parents to Canada by 1835. He m. by 1848 in Canada, Catharine Moran,^[15] b. 1828-31 (aged 32 in 1861, 40 in 1871, 50 in 1881) in Ireland; she was still alive in 1881, but has not been found in the 1891 census. Between 1857 and 1860 they had three children baptized in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo, Kitley Tp., Leeds Co. We have not succeeded in locating Michael Healy in the 1852 census of Leeds County, but he appears as a farmer in Bastard Tp. in that of 1861, in which the family’s religion is given as Roman Catholic.^[16] Similar information is given in the 1871 census of Bastard & Burgess townships, Leeds County,^[17] and in 1881, when they are enumerated under the spelling Haley.^[18] He died before the end of the year.
    According to the death notice of their son John Joseph Healy, quoted below, there were thirteen children in this family, so our record would appear to be complete:

1. Maryanne Healy, b. 1845-48 (aged 13 in 1861, 25 in 1871) in Upper Canada, still living unmarried with her parents in 1871.
2. Bridget Healy, b. 1852-55 (aged 8 in 1861, 16 in 1871) in Upper Canada, still living unmarried with her parents in 1871.
3. Eleanor/Ellen Healy, b. about 1856 (aged 5 in 1861, 14 in 1871) in Upper Canada, living with her parents in 1871.
4. Margaret Healy, b. 12 April 1857 in Upper Canada, bapt. 6 May following in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors Thomas Rape and Mary Welch. She was still living with her parents in 1871.
5. 5John Joseph Healy, b. 16 Aug. 1858 at Portland, a village mainly in Bastard Tp. but partly in South Burgess Tp., Leeds Co., Ontario, bapt. 24 Sept. 1858 in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors John Moran and Maria Moran.
6. Anthony Healy, b. 12 Jan. 1860, bapt. 17 April 1860 in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, with sponsors Anthony Moran and Ann Flood. He was still living unmarried with his parents in 1881. He probably predeceased his brother John, in whose 1938 obituary he is not mentioned. He is not to be confused with the Anthony Healy, son of Thomas, who married Sophia McDonald (see list of Unplaced Healys at the end of these notes).
7. Honora/Honour Healy, b. in 1861-62 (aged 9 in 1871, 19 in 1881), still living unmarried with her parents in 1881. She probably predeceased her brother John, in whose 1938 obituary she is not mentioned.
8. Patrick Healy, b. 27 Feb. 1863 (per his baptismal record) presumably in Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., bapt. 12 July in St. Edward Church, Westport, Ontario, with sponsors Patrick Healy and Bridget Brown of Kitley. He was still living unmarried with his parents in 1881. He probably predeceased his brother John, in whose 1938 obituary he is not mentioned.
9. Martin Healy, b. about 1865 (aged 5 in 1871, 16 in 1881), living with his parents in 1881. He probably predeceased his brother John, in whose 1938 obituary he is not mentioned.
10. Thomas J. Healy, b. 18 Nov. 1866 (per his baptismal record) at Westport, bapt. 1 Jan. 1867 in St. Edward Church, Westport, Ontario. He was still alive in 1938, when he is mentioned as “Tom [Healy] of New York State” in the death notice of his brother John. Despite some discrepancies in the census evidence, his identity with Thomas “Haley” (as he was consistently known in later life) of Monroe County, New York, is corroborated by the identity of the latter’s wife, who was a sister of Thomas J. Healy’s sister Maria’s husband. Furthermore, the combination of his wife’s rather unusual first name, and the exceedingly rare first name of their younger daughter (Tryphaena, always appearing in the classical spelling), make Thomas “Haley” easy to recognize in census records. Thomas Haley m. by 1900, Helena A. Ano,^[19] b. 22 Feb. 1873 (per her death record) in New York State, d. 22 Dec. 1951 at Los Angeles,^[20] daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Perry) Ano, of Forestport. She appears with her parents as the seven-year-old “Leana” Ano (incorrectly stated to have been born in Massachusetts) in the 1880 census of Forestport.^[21] Apart from the extreme rarity of her surname, her identity is corroborated by the fact that she had an elder sister named Alvina, and gave the name Alvina to her eldest daughter. Further details of her family are given under the account of her brother, William F. Ano, husband of Maria Healy below. Thomas Healy and his wife are found in Perinton Tp., Monroe Co., New York, in 1910, when he was a carpenter in a [railway] car shop; his year of immigration to the U.S. is given as 1886.^[22] He is found at East Commercial Street, East Rochester Village, Perinton Tp., in the 1920 census, in which he is called a manufacturer of freight cars, and he is said to have immigrated to the U.S. in 1890 and been naturalized in 1913.^[23] He is again found at East Commercial Street in 1930, when he is called a railroad-car manufacturer, and is said to have been in the U.S. since 1886; his wife is called a hair-dresser in a beauty school.^[24] Known issue:
    1. Alvina A. Haley, b. in 1901-02 (aged 8 in 1910, 18 in 1920) in New York, still living unmarried with her parents in 1920, but no longer in their household in 1930.
    2. Tryphaena Haley, b. 21 Nov. 1914 in New York State, d. 18 Oct. 1994 in Ventura Co., California.^[25] She was still living with her parents in 1930. She subsequently m. ____ Artzer, the surname under which she appears in her death record (which gives her parents’ names as ____ Haley and ____ Ano). She was issued a Social Security number in California before 1951, and within the year prior to her death registered a telephone at Camarillo, California. Her Social Security record lists her “last residence” as being in Cedar City, Iron, Utah, but this disagrees with the place of death stated in her death record.
11. Maria Healy, b. 16 July 1868 in Bastard Tp. (per her baptismal record), bapt. 16 Aug. 1868 in St. Edward Church, Westport, Ontario, living 1938. She found as a child in his parents’ household in 1871 and 1881. She m. by 1896, William F. Ano, b. in 1863-64^[26] in Massachusetts, living 1930, brother of her brother Thomas’s wife, Helena Ano, and son of Joseph and Sarah (Perry) Ano, of Forestport, Oneida Co., New York, they having previously come from Quebec, of which they were natives.^[27] William and Maria Ano are found at Forestport in the 1910 census, in which he is said to be in the wood and coal trade, and her date of immigration to the U.S. is given as 1891.^[28] They are found there again in the 1920 census, when he is described as a butcher in a market, and her year of immigration to the U.S. seems to read 1885.^[29] They were living at Beechwood Street, Forestport, at the taking of the 1930 census, in which he is described as a common laborer, and the year of her immigration to the U.S. is given as 1886.^[30] At the death of her brother John in 1938, she is described as Mrs. Maria Ono [sic] of Utica, N.Y., but possibly Utica was mentioned in preference to the smaller and less familiar Forestport nearby. Known issue:
    1. Marion S. Ano, b. 1896-97 (aged 23 in 1920) in New York State, still living unmarried with her parents in 1920, when she was a school teacher, but no longer there in 1920.
    2. Thelma M. Ano, b. 1901-02 (aged 18 in 1920) in New York State, living with her parents in 1920 but not in 1930.
    3. Marguerite C. Ano, b. 1905-06 (aged 14 in 1920) in New York State, living with her parents in 1920 but not in 1930.
12. Owen Healy, b. 15 June 1870 (per his baptismal record) presumably in Bastard Tp., bapt. 24 July following in St. Edward Church, Westport, Ontario, with sponsors Francis Healy [probably the father’s brother] and Catherine Healy. He is found as a child in his parents’ household in 1871 and 1881. He was living in New York State in 1938, when he is mentioned in the death notice of his brother John. However, we cannot find a Canadian-born man of this name and the right age in the any census of New York State taken between 1900 and 1930. He should not be confused with the Owen Healy who m. 26 Oct. 1898 in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis de Sales Church, Smith’s Falls, Minnie McDermott, for this man was a son of Denis and Anne (____) Healy.^[31]
13. James Healy, b. 19 July 1872 (per his baptismal record) presumably in Bastard Tp., bapt. 8 Dec. following in St. Edward Church, Westport, Ontario. He is found as a child in his parents’ household in 1881. He was living in Montana in 1938, when he is mentioned in the death notice of his brother John. The only conceivable match which has been found in census records — but the ages in some of the records do not agree — is:
    

    ---

    
    James J./G. Healey, apparently b. in 1876-77 (age illegible in 1910, aged 43 in 1920, 53 in 1930) in Canada, living 1930, possibly the James J. Healy, widower, who d. 23 Oct. 1956 in Cascade Co., Montana, aged 83 years,^[32] and as James J. Healey, with the identical date of death, is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Great Falls, Cascade Co.^[33] The 1920 and 1930 censuses agree in giving the birthplaces of his parents as Canada. We have not found him in the 1901 census of Ontario, or in the 1900 census of Montana. However, he appears as James Healey (no middle initial), an unmarried man, in Ward 2, Great Falls, Cascade Co., Montana, in the 1910 census, in which he is called an engineer.^[34] He was enumerated in Ward 1 of Great Falls in the 1920 census, with wife Bertha, her two Vineyard daughters by a previous marriage, and a “lodger” (probably her brother-in-law) Elmer Vineyard; at the time, James Healey was a foreman in a smithy, and his date of immigration to the U.S. is given as 1903.^[35] As James G. Healy, widower, a foreman in a smelt, he is again found at Second Avenue North, Great Falls, in 1930, with his date of immigration to the U.S. now being given as 1890; but this is certainly the same man, as his step-daughter Gladys E. Vineyard was also a member of the household, although she is identified only as a lodger.^[36] He m. between 1910 and 1920, Bertha (____) Vineyard, b. in 1884-85 (aged 35 in 1920) in Missouri, of a father born in Texas and mother born in Missouri, d. by 1930, when her husband was a widower, and thus possibly the Mrs. Bertha Healy who d. 7 Oct. 1920 in Montana, aged 36 years.^[37] Prior to their marriage she had been the widow of C.S. Vineyard.^[38] There was no known issue, and almost certainly no surviving issue, of this marrage.

4. Francis Healy, son of John and Mary (____) Healy, whose father was living with him in 1881, was b. probably in 1835 (aged 25 in 1861, 46 in 1881, 50 [!] in 1891) in Ontario, and was still alive in 1881. Considering that the person who reported the death was his son-in-law Michael Garvin, of Toledo, there can be little doubt that our subject was the Francis Healey, of Kitley Tp., Leeds Co., farmer, widower, born in Kitley Tp., d. 26 Nov. 1913 in Kitley Tp., aged 80 years, of convulsions, having been attended by a physician from Frankville, despite the fact that the record calls him a son of Michael Healey (and an unnamed mother), and the age at death would be slightly exaggerated.^[39] In any case, he m. 22 June 1858 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo,^[40] Ann Rape, b. probably in 1839 (aged 21 in 1861, 42 in 1881, 50 in 1891) in Ontario, daughter of Michael Rape and Catherine ____.^[41] The witnesses to their marriage were Thomas Rodgers and Mary Mullen. There is no doubt as to the true surname of Francis Healy’s wife; it is well-attested as Rape in a wide variety or records, despite the fact that it appears as Ralph with increasing frequency toward the end of the nineteenth century. They were in Bastard Tp. in 1861, when Francis was a tavernkeeper, and their household included an Anne Morin, aged 8 years.^[42] They were enumerated in Bastard & Burgess Tp. in 1881, the census entry for which year has already been quote above. They were enumerated there again in 1891, when Francis is called a farmer; his placement in the record indicates that he lived somewhere between the 3rd and 6th concessions.^[43] Tim Berenda informs us that the farm was near Frankville. Known issue (no birth registrations found):^[44]

1. John Healy, b. 6 May 1859, bapt. 16 June following in the (old) church of St. Philip Neri, Toledo, Kitley Tp., with sponsors Thomas Rape and Mary Munley.
2. Thomas Healy, b. 16 Feb. 1863 in Bastard Tp., registered as a child of Francis Healy and Anne Ralph (IGI).
3. Mary Jane Healy, b. probably in 1864 (aged 16 in 1881, 24 in 1888) in Bastard Tp. (per marriage record), alive on 23 Aug. 1941, when as “Mary Jane Moran of the City of Moose Jaw in the Province of Sask[atchewan] she made a very belated declaration of the facts concerning the birth of her daughter Margaret. As Mary Jane Healy, daughter of Francis Healey and Anne Ralph, she m. 20 Oct. 1888 at Phillipsville, Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., after publication of banns,^[45] William James Moran, b. 1865-66 (aged 22 in 1888) in Bastard Tp., son of James Moran and Mary McDonald. At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were of Bastard Tp. and were Roman Catholic in religion, and the groom was a laborer; the witnesses were James O’Horo and Annie O’Horo, [both?] of Westport. At the time of the birth of his daughter Margaret in 1893 he was a farmer. Only known child:
   1. Margaret Mary Lillian Moran, b. 2 Sept. 1893 in Portland Tp., in Leeds Co.^[46]
4. Julia Ann Healy (twin to Elizabeth), b. 1 Jan. 1868. She m. 19 April 1887 at Phillipsville, Bastard Tp., Leeds Co.,^[47] William John Moran, b. 1859-60 (aged 21 in 1881, 27 in 1887) in Bastard Tp., son of Patrick Moran and Sarah Granahan, with whom he appears as a 21-year-old in the 1881 census of Bastard & Burgess townships (see the Moran note at the end). The record of their marriage gives the names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, but erroneously makes her a daughter of Thomas [sic] Healey and Annie Ralph. At the time of their marriage both parties were of Bastard Tp., and the groom was a husbandman; the witnesses were William Scott, of Burgess Tp., and [the bride’s sister] Elizabeth A. Healey, of Bastard Tp.
5. Elizabeth Ann Healy (twin to Julia), b. 1 Jan. 1868, m. Thomas J. Heeney, b. in co. Mayo, Ireland. They moved to Chicago, and were the great-grandparents of Tim Berenda.
6. Jemima Sarah Healy (called Sarah in the 1881 census), b. 6 March 1870 in Bastard Tp., registered as a child of Francis Healy and Anne Ralph (IGI); baptized 1 May 1870 in St. Edward Church, Westport, as a daughter of Francis Healy and Anne Ralph.
7. Michael Caesar Healy, b. 1 Feb. 1872 in South Burgess Tp., Leeds Co., registered as a son of Francis Healy and Anne Ralphe,^[48] baptized 1 May 1872 in St. Edward Church, Westport, as a daughter of Francis Healy and Anne Ralph. He was living unmarried with his parents in 1891.
8. Catherine (“Kate”) Healy, b. probably in 1873-74 (aged 7 in 1881, 17 in 1891, 25 in 1902). She was living unmarried with her parents in 1891. As Kate Healy, daughter of Francis Healy and Annie Ralph, she m. 25 Oct. 1902 in the Roman Catholic church of St. Francis de Sales, Smith’s Falls, Lanark County,^[49] Michael Garvin, b. 1867-68 (aged 34 in 1902) in Kitley Tp., son of William Garvin and Margaret Donovan. At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was a farmer, of Kitley Tp., and the bride was of Smith’s Falls, Bastard Tp.; the witnesses were John Joseph Donovan, of Toledo, and Stella Ralph, of Portland.
9. Francis Healy, Jr., b. 1875-76 (aged 5 in 1881, 15 in 1891).

5. John Joseph Healy, son of Michael Healy and Catherine Moran, was b. 16 Aug. 1858 at Portland, a village in Bastard and South Burgess townships, Leeds Co., Ontario, bapt. 24 Sept. 1858 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo, Kitley Tp., Leeds Co., and d. 20 Aug. 1938, at the home of his daughter, Helen (Healy) Reagan, near Sturgis, Saskatchewan, aged over 80 years,^[50] and buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery, just north of Sturgis. He is found as a child in the household of his parents in 1871. He m. 22 April 1883 in St. Phillip’s Church, in the town of Kitley (now Toledo), Kitley Tp., Leeds Co., Ontario, possibly during a return trip to Canada,^[51] Elizabeth E[eanor?] McCann, b. 8 Oct. 1859 near Portland, Bastard Tp., Leeds County, Ontario, ^[52] daughter of Patrick McCann, of South Burgess township, by the latter’s wife Anne, daughter of John Fitzpatrick of Laurel Hill, co. Monaghan, Ireland. Elizabeth is found in the household of her widowed mother in the 1881 census of Bastard and South Burgess townships, in which she is called a school-teacher.^[53]
    From a reference to him in the 1900 census of North Dakota (see below), which supplies birthdates precise to the month, we are told that John J. Healy and his wife came to the United States in 1880 and 1883 respectively. The apparent fact (documented below) that John J. Healy was in Grand Forks County in April 1880 suggests that he should appear in the 1880 census of that place, which was taken in the second week of June. However, the only possible match therein is a John Haley, farmer, single, aged 23, born in Minnesota, parents both born in Ireland, who was enumerated with a brother William, also a farmer, aged 21, in the City of Grand Forks.^[54] Besides being ostensibly born in the U.S., this person is also two years too old to be our subject, who does not appear to have had a brother William. If this entry indeed relates to our John J. Healy, it raises more questions than it answers.
    In any case, Elizabeth’s death notice states that “in the same year” as their marriage, “she and her husband emigrated to the United States, where they settled near Ardoch, North Dakota.” Their daughter Helen, who was born in 1891, is said to have been born there.^[55] The 1900 census suggests that John J. Healy and his wife were in Minnesota in June 1884, April 1886, and Oct. 1887, when their first three children were born, and in North Dakota between May 1889 and Jan. 1897, when their five younger children were born. However, it was at the city of Grand Forks, in the Dakota Territories, that this couple was enumerated in the 1885 census; John is there called a farmer, and the record agrees with the 1900 census in giving the birthplace of his eldest child as Minnesota.^[56] What appear at first glance to be frequent moves between two states may in fact have been merely slight changes of residence, as the city of Grand Forks lies on the border between North Dakota and Minnesota. The 1890 census of North Dakota is lost, but further detail on John Healy is supplied by his immigration application, dated 29 April 1880 in Grand Forks County, Territory of Dakota, which states, in part:

John Haley [sic] personally appeared … and made oath that he was born in Canada on or about the year 1858, that he emigrated to the United States, and landed at the port of Huron [in Michigan, opposite London, Ontario] on or about the month of November in the year 1879, that it is bona fide his intention to become a Citizen of the United States, and to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign Prince, Potentate, State of Sovereignty whatever, and particularly to the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland whereof he is a subject, and that he will support the Constitution and Government of the United States.^[57]

On 1 Nov. 1890, having more than satisfied the five-year residency requirement, “John J. Healey” was granted the requested citizenship. The document was prepared in Ramsay County, adjacent to Grand Forks County, and bears the inscription “Ardoch” at the top of the page, although Ardoch is (now at least) in Walsh County, also adjacent.^[58] We have discovered no citizenship application for Elizabeth McCann.
    On 1 Sept. 1891 John J. Healy was patented the northeast quarter of section 30, in township 154N, 52W of the 5^th Principal Meridian, in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, consisting of 160 acres of land.^[59] Again as John J. Healy, he is enumerated with his family in the 1900 census of Levant Township, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, which calls him a farmer, indicates that everyone in his family was literate and that no children had died in infancy, and states that both of his and both of his wife’s parents were born in Ireland.^[60]
    According to the local history, John J. Healy and his wife “immigrated … to the Eden Valley area of the District of Assiniboia [now Saskatchewan] in the fall of 1904 and started homesteading in the Spring of 1905.”^[61] The 1906 census agrees that Healy and his wife came to Canada in 1904; thus the date of 1906 reported both in their 50^th wedding anniversary announcement and in Elizabeth’s death notice is clearly too late. As “John Joseph Healy” he received a crown grant of the southwest corner of section 34, in township 34, range 4 of the second meridian west of the Principal Meridian (SW 34-34-4-W2),^[62] where he is found in a page of the 1906 census dated 12-13 Sept. 1906 with his wife (erroneously called Mary) and their sons Edward and John (who are specifically stated to have come to Canada in 1905, not 1904); their livestock is recorded as consisting of 4 horses and 8 head of cattle.^[63] The map of the Sturgis area issued ca. 1907 (?) by the Scandinavian Canadian Land Co. likewise shows him there, and also on the northwest-quarter of section 27 in the same township, which was kitty-corner to it.^[64]
    The Healys were influential in improving opportunities for education in the Sturgis area. John J. Healy was one of a committee of three which was organized in 1908 to found Kopje School District no. 2677.^[65] And when Mannanah School District no. 1390 opened and the original teacher hired was unable to continue, Elizabeth Healy took over in the fall of 1907 and continued teaching until, a year and a half later, the school was temporarily closed because of a severe outbreak of measles.^[66] She was also active at Eden Valley and Sturgis in theatrical and dance productions, writing and producing a play entitled The Real Irish.^[67] Her poem about Sturgis, entitled “The City on the Hill,” placed first in a contest sponsored by the Saskatchewan Homemakers Clubs in July 1933 (see below for its publication history). Her poem written in memory of Patrick Reagan and Timothy Gibney (younger brother of her future son-in-law Charles Hugh Gibney), who drowned in May Lake on 3 August 1913, is reprinted in Harvest of Memories, p. 408.
    A photograph of John and Elizabeth Healy, said to have been taken at their 50^th wedding anniversary in 1933, is reproduced in Harvest of Memories, p. 407.
    A death notice for Elizabeth Healy from a Sturgis-area newspaper reads, in part:

Mrs. Elizabeth Healy, wife of John Joseph Healy, died at her home in Sturgis on Friday afternoon, April 3rd, in her 76th [recte 77th] year. Her maiden name was Elizabeth McCann. She was born October 7th, 1859 near Portland, Leeds County, Ontario….
    She served the St. Patrick’s Altar Society in its every office; was a member of the church choir; took active interest in every community movement. During the beetle ’flu days of 1918 she was one of two ladies who went out daily to help those who were stricken.
    Before her marriage Mrs. Healy taught school in Ontario, and when she settled in the Sturgis district years later she again taught, this time in the Manannah school, five miles from town. She was a lover of poetry and was a poetess of some note herself, having won first prize with her poem, “The City on the Hill” in the contest held by the Saskatchewan Homemakers’ Club’s convention in Sturgis on July 18, 1933. One has to but read between the lines of this poem to see what a peace-loving, law-abiding, God-fearing, serene and gentle person she was.
    There were eight children in the family…. Abrother and a sister, James and Mary McCann, live in Ottawa, Ontario. There are 45 grandchildren living.
    Burial took place from the St. Patrick’s church in Sturgis on Tuesday, April 7th, and the pallbearers were Messrs. C.L. Reagan; C.H. Gibney; P.E. Walsh; E. Grams; T.P. Reagan and Patrick FitzPatrick. Rev. Father J.L. Healy, C.Ss.R. [Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris], officiated, assisted by Rev. Father F. Lane, C.Ss.R., Rev. Father J.F. Martin, C.Ss.R., and Rev. Father T. Novak, O.M.I.

    A death notice for John Healy, also from a Sturgis-area newspaper, reads, in part:

The funeral of John Joseph Haley, 80, who died on Saturday, August 20, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Chris L. Reagan, Sturgis district, was held on Tuesday, August 23, from St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church to the Roman Catholic cemetery on the outskirts of Sturgis. The Reverend father James L. Healy, C.Ss.R.; Reverend Father James L. Maguire, C.Ss.R., and the Reverend Father Thomas S. Novak, O.M.I., conducted the funeral jointly. Pallbearers were Anton O. Morken, Fred Murphy, Thomas P. Reagan, Patrick Fitzpatrick, Wesley Simes and Din Gibney.
    Mr. Healy celebrated his eightieth birthday on Tuesday, August 16, and had his four-generation picture taken with his only great-grandson, who was four months old the day before [this was Delmar Leon Lubiniecki, b. 15 April 1938].
    Mr. Healy was born in Portland, Leeds county, Ontario, and on April 22, 1883, married Miss Elizabeth McCann in the old Kitly church nearly Bellamy Mill, Ontario…. His wife predeceased him on April 3, 1936.
    There were thirteen in Mr. Healy’s parents’ family: Mrs. Maria Ono [recte Ano] of Utica, N.Y.; Jim, of Montana; Tom, of New York State, and Oven [recte Owen], of New York State, are still living….

    Of the 45 grandchildren surviving granddaughter mentioned in Elizabeth’s death notice, we believe we have probably accounted for all if we reckon in the nine children of Helen Healy Reagan who appear on a separate page. Further grandchildren were born at a later date.
    Issue:

1. Mary Henrietta Healy, b. in May or June 1884 in Minnesota (per 1885, 1900, and 1911 censuses), still alive in Aug. 1938, when she is mentioned in her father’s death notice. She is called Maryette in the 1885 census and Mary in the 1900 census, but was generally known as Henrietta or “Ettie” (per the 1911 census) or “Dettie.” She was still living unmarried with her parents in 1900, but was no longer there in 1906. She m. before 1906, Patrick E. Walsh, b. in May 1884 in Ontario (per 1911 census), living 1911. Harvest of Memories states that they settled in the area of Mehan, near Yorkton, Saskatchewan, but in 1911, at least, they were living on Smith Street in Yorkton itself, the census giving Patrick Walsh’s occupation as farmer and the family’s religion as Roman Catholic.^[68] They are called of Yorkton in newspaper announcements of 1932, 1936, and 1938. Known issue:
   1. Francis Walsh, b. in Feb. 1906 in Manitoba (per 1911 census).
   2. Walter Walsh, b. in May 1907 in Saskatchewan (per 1911 census).
   3. Irene Walsh, b. in Jan. 1909 in Saskatchewan (per 1911 census).
   4. Harriet Walsh, b. in April 1910 in Saskatchewan (per 1911 census).
2. Thomas Joseph Healy, b. 15 April 1886 at Fisher’s Landing (now Fisher), Polk County, Minnesota,^[69] killed 2 June 1916 at Sanctuary Wood, Belgium, during the Battle of Ypres, and buried in France, dying unmarried. A biographical notice of him written by his brother James in 1972 is informative:

   Thomas Joseph Healy, born at Fisher’s Landing, Minn. April 15^th, 1886. Moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1888, started to [teach] school, 1900. Moved to Canada [following the rest of his family there], March, 1906. Homesteaded (section 22) 1908. Worked (McNicholas’) Yorkton, Saskatchewan, ’06. Traded farm for Livery Barn, Sturgis. Thresher (Healy Bros. & Detloff) 1910-14. Joined military forces (Yorkton) 1914. Left for Europe, 1915. Killed in action, Sanctuary Wood, Belgium (Battle of Ypres) June 2^nd, 1916.^[70]

   As pointed out by Tom Schaffner, Tom Healy would only have been 14 years old when he began teaching school. The practice of hiring adolescents to teach in small country schools was a practice that survived in the Prairies for more than a generation after this time. In addition, after coming to Canada, Tom Healy became Sturgis’ first constable and dog-catcher in 1912 or 1913.^[71] On 30 Dec. 1914 he enlisted in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force, giving his occupation as a farmer, and his religion as Roman Catholic.^[72] Harvest of Memories says he “may have been the first World War I casualty from the Sturgis area.”
3. 6Edward Clarence Healy, b. probably 5 Oct. 1888, at Fisher’s Landing (now Fisher), Polk County, Minnesota.^[73]
4. John P. Healy, b. in May 1889 in North Dakota, living unmarried with his parents in 1906, subsequently drowned in the Assiniboine River in 1919.^[74]
5. Helen Healy, b. 4 March 1891 at or near Ardoch, Walsh County, North Dakota, d. 16 Nov. 1951, aged 60 years, and buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery on the hill overlooking Sturgis. She m. 19 Jan. 1909 in the Roman Catholic Church, Sturgis, Christopher Lawrence Reagan, of Sturgis, b. 5 Aug. 1880 at Eden Valley, Minnesota, d. 1 Nov. 1961 at Sturgis, aged 81 years, and buried with his wife, son of Patrick John Reagan, of Sturgis, by the latter’s wife Catherine Heaney. Christopher Reagan was living near Sturgis, Saskatchewan, by 18 December 1907, when he was patented the 160 acres of the northeast quarter of section 24, township 34, range 4 of the second meridian west of the Principal Meridian.^[75] For further details on them, and their nine children, see REAGAN.
6. Honora (also known as “Nora”) Healy, b. in Sept. 1892 in North Dakota, d. Nov. 1961 at Canora, Saskatchewan, and buried 25 Nov. 1961 at Canora. She m. 27 Oct. 1914 at Sturgis, Charles Hugh Gibney, b. 3 April 1889 at Eden Valley, Minnesota, d. shortly before 22 Nov. 1961 (date of obituary) at Canora, and buried there 25 Nov. following, a first cousin once removed of her sister Helen’s husband, and a son of Timothy Gibney, of Sturgis, by the latter’s second wife Mary Ellen McCaffery, and grandson of John Gibney, of Owen Sound, Grey Co., Ontario, and later of Manannah Tp., Meeker Co., Minnesota, by the latter’s wife Anne Heaney.^[76] Brought to Canada by his parents in 1903, Charles Gibney obtained his own homestead near Sturgis in April 1907 and farmed until 1924, when he took employment with a Canora grain company which also had offices at Otthon and Waldron. Later the firm went out of business, and having earned his papers as a steam engineer, he was able to obtain the position of boiler-room operator at Canora Hospital. He later worked at a sheet-metal plant, and finally as a carpenter, before retiring in the mid-1950s. It is somewhat remarkable that every one of their thirteen children reached adulthood. Six of their sons enlisted in the services in World War II: Clement, Thomas, Wilfred, and Joseph in the army, Charles in the air force, and Herbert in the navy. Mainly following Harvest of Memories, p. 376 (which reproduces a group photograph of them all), their children were:
   1. Clement Gibney, b. 1915, d. 1988, a carpenter; m. Josephine Wallace.
   2. Mary Gibney, b. 1916, d. 1996, a telephone agent; m. Ward Graham.
   3. Thomas Gibney, b. 1918, d. 1989, a laborer.
   4. Wilfred Gibney, b. 1919, d. 1965, a cartage owner; m. Winnifred Colgate.
   5. Joseph Gibney, b. 1920, d. 1964, a laborer.
   6. Rita Gibney, b. 1921, d. 1994, a registered nurse; m. Alex Duke.
   7. Margaret Gibney, b. 1923, d. 1973, a telephone operator. Thomas Schaffner recalls her visiting Idaho in the late 1950s.^[77]
   8. The Rev. Charles Gibney, Jr., b. 1924, d. 1992, ordained as a Roman Catholic Diocesan priest, about 1953.^[78]
   9. Hubert L.E. Gibney, b. 1926 at Canora, a funeral director, Mayor of Canora (1959-64), member of the Town Council (1968-74), and State Community Program Director of the Knights of Columbus (1973). He is now (2000) living in retirement at Saskatoon. He m. Adeline Duncan.
   10. Frank Gibney, b. 1928, a dairy and creamery supervisor, now (2000) living in retirement at Calgary, Alberta; m. Marion McComber.
   11. Noreen Gibney, b. 1930, a registered nurse, now living in retirement at Brandon, Manitoba; m. Lawrence Dubois.
   12. Bernard Gibney, b. 1933, a manager for the Federal Government, now (2000) living in retirement at Calgary; m. Leona Kuntz.
   13. Terry Gibney, an accounts agent, now (2000) living in retirement at Regina; m. Gwen Kwasnicki.
7. The Rev. James L. Healy, C.Ss.R. [Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris], b. in Aug. 1894 in North Dakota, d. 4 Aug. 1978, and buried in St. Thomas Catholic Cemetery, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.^[79] He was ordained a Redemptorist priest in 1927 at Esopus, New York. He was stationed at Calgary at the time of this parents’ 50^th wedding anniversary in 1932, and at East (?) Kildonan, Winnipeg, at the time of his mother’s death in 1936, but in the 1938 death notice of his father he is described as “formerly of West Kildonan, Winnipeg, and now of Toronto.” His death notice states that “He lived most of his life in Canada, and after his retirement in 1967 he lived at Boise and Spokane.” However, he was certainly active so late as 1970 at Sacred Heart Church, Brewster, near Spokane, Washington, where a cross, altar, and tabernacle which he (personally?) built were still in use in 2003.^[80] His death notice also states, “He is survived by 20 nieces, including Mrs. Berniece [sic] Couch, Mrs. Margaret Whitely, and Mrs. Geraldine Koep, all of Coeur d’Alene.” A photograph of him taken in his youth appears in Harvest of Memories, p. 408.
8. Anna C. Healy, b. in Jan. 1897 in North Dakota, 22 June 1969, and buried with her husband in St. Thomas Catholic Cemetery, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.^[81] She m. in 1917-18,^[82] Robert George Rarick,^[83] b. 5 March 1889 at Faribault, Minnesota, of a father born in Pennsylvania and mother born in New York State, d. 14 May 1942 at Coeur d’Alene,^[84] apparently a son of William Leonard Rarick and Anna Elizabeth Durham.^[85] Like her brother Edward, they moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where they are found in the 1930 census, which calls him a contractor in the lumber industry, and gives the year of his U.S. citizenship as 1924.^[86] In the 1960s their address was 522 Indiana Avenue.^[87] Several of their children (like those of Anna’s brother Edward Healy) attended the Academy of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM Academy), Coeur d’Alene.^[88] Known issue, all born at Coeur d’Alene:
   1. Helen Rarick, b. in 1918-19 (aged 11 in 1930).
   2. Mary Rarick, b. in 1920-21 (aged 9 in 1930), graduated from the IHM Academy in the class of 1937.
   3. Madeline Rarick, b. in 1921-22 (aged 8 in 1930), graduated from the IHM Academy in the class of 1939.
   4. Douglas Rarick, b. 15 April 1922, d. in Aug. 1975.^[89] He graduated from the IHM Academy in the class of 1940, and was father of four graduates. Known issue:
      1. Mary Dell Rarick, a graduate of the IHM Academy in the class of 1961.
      2. Bob Rarick, a graduate of the IHM Academy in the class of 1963.
      3. Timothy Rarick, a graduate of the IHM Academy in the class of 1964, and president of his class.
      4. James Rarick, a graduate of the IHM Academy in the class of 1967.
   5. Carmel Rarick (female), b. in 1923-24 (aged 6 in 1930), graduated from the IHM Academy in the class of 1941.
   6. Bernice Rarick, b. in 1925-26 (aged 4 in 1930). She is appearently the niece Bernice Couch, of Coeur d’Alene, mentioned in the death notice of her uncle, the Rev. James Healy.

6. Edward Clarence Healy, son of John Joseph Healy and Elizabeth E. McCann, was b. probably 5 Oct. 1888, at Fisherlanding, Minnesota.^[90] d. 23 Feb. 1951,^[91] and was buried in St. Thomas Catholic Cemetery, Coeur d’Alene, Kootenai Co., Idaho.^[92] At the taking of the 1906 census, he was apparently at 32-35-4-W2, although a duplicate entry places him in his parents’ household.^[93] It is believed that before his marriage, Edward Healy already owned a general store and was living in the apartment above it; also, in partnership with his brothers Tom and John, Ed Healy was proprietor of “Thrasher’s Corner,” a farm implement business, from 1910 until Tom’s death in 1914.^[94] Edward Healy m. 29 Oct. 1914 at Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Elma Helene Stennes, b. 27 July 1886 at Milan, Swift Co., Minnesota, d. 3 Aug 1973 in Idaho, and buried with her husband,^[95] daughter of the late Ananias Stennes, of Milan, Chippewa Co., Minnesota, by his wife Annie Peterson, of Sturgis, previously of Wisconsin.^[96] In 1912 Ed Healy, in partnership with his mother-in-law Mrs. Annie Stennes, opened the town’s first restaurant, which also served as a boarding-house.^[97] He and his wife moved to the U.S. in 1923, according to the 1930 census, were in Idaho when their daughter Florence was born in 1926, and were at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, at the taking of the 1930 census, which calls him a laborer in a lumber mill.^[98] Ed Healy worked at Rutledge Mill on the river at what is now the east end of a golf course with a floating green.^[99] All six of their daughters attended the Academy of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM Academy), Coeur d’Alene.^[100]
    Thomas Schaffner sends these interesting bits of information about his grandfather:

He suffered from diabetes and always carried a Hershey candy bar in his lunch pail in case he felt his energy draining. He died of heart problems probably related to the diabetes. He rode a bike to work at the Rutledge Mill in Coeur d’Alene. He never owned a car. He built the home at 317 South 13th in 1941-1942. He also built some furniture for the home and was a fine carpenter. In Canada he played on the Sturgis baseball team. They called him “Spike.” He was a devout and strict Catholic and was a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus in Coeur d’Alene at one time.^[101]

1. Theresa Healy, b. 1915 at Sturgis, Saskatchewan, d. 26 Feb. 2006 at Gig Harbor, Washington.^[102] She graduated in 1934 from the IHM Academy, Coeur d’Alene. According to her death notice, “She attended Kinman Business College and worked at Mauser and Mauser Realty in Spokane, where she met [her husband] Laurence. They were married in 1945.” She m. (as his second wife) in 1945, Laurence F. Mauser, b. 20 Aug. 1904 in Washington State, d. 10 April 1996 at San Diego, California, son of Fred and Clara Mauser, of Spokane, Washington. At the time of his death his address was San Marcos, San Diego.^[103] Also according to her death notice, “Theresa was a partner with Laurence in contracting and investment, devoting most of her time raising her two children, Gregg and Linda. Laurence constructed houses in the Mauser subdivision of the Grey Estate near Sanders Beach, and the family resided in several of those homes. They also lived in Spokane, and Casco Bay on Lake Coeur d’Alene…. After leaving Coeur d’Alene for Phoenix and Escondido, Calif., they continued to visit Coeur d’Alene during the summers to enjoy the lake, socialize with friends, and spend time with family. [Note: the Mausers were living in California at the death of Theresa’ sister Margaret in April 1999.] Theresa is survived by children Linda Mauser Karle of Gig Harbor, Gregg Mauser, Bayview, and [step-son] Bruce Mauser, LaConnor, Wash.; grandchildren Alison Karle, a student at Portland University, Nate Karle, Gig Harbor, [and] Jane Mauser, Seattle…, sisters Geraldine Koep, Coeur d’Alene, and Florence Keller, Otis Orchards, Wash. Sisters Patricia Ferguson, Veronica Shaffner [sic] and Margaret Whitely Souther preceded her in death. A devoted wife and parter to Laurence, Theresa is remembered as a stylish and gracious lady who loved to read and sing. She was a great letter-writer, keeping in touch with friends and family. Funeral Mass in Gig Harbor will be 11 a.m. March 4 at St. Nicholas Catholic Church. Services in Coeur d’Alene will be held at St. Thomas Catholic Church at a later date.” Issue:

Memorial contributions to Holy Family Catholic School, Coeur d’Alene.”

   The death notice of her first husband, also in the The Spokesman Review, reads, in part:

Unplaced Healys

In this section, we consider some early settlers in Leeds and Lanark counties named Healy or Haley. We treat only persons who could plausibly be connected with the the Healys above, and thus exclude those definitely known not to have been Irish Catholics. We should emphasize that the accounts given here are quite preliminary and are not based upon extensive research.

Owen Healy, of Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., of unknown parentage, was b. about 1801 (aged 50 in 1852, 83 in 1883) in Ireland, and d. 8 Oct. 1883 “of old age” in Leeds County,^[121] being buried in the “New” St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo. He was a son of Francis Healy and Bridget Monoly, who are named in his marriage record but of whom nothing further is known. As Owen “Haly” he m. 9 Oct. 1831 in the Roman Catholic church of St. John the Baptist, Perth,^[122] Bridget O’Horo, b. 1811-12 (aged 40 in 1852) in Ireland, d. 2 Nov. 1880, aged 65 years, and buried with her husband, daughter of Thomas O’Horo and Bridget Gillespie. Her maiden surname is given as Hora in her own marriage record, as O’Hara in the those of her sons William (1882) and Thomas (1884), and as O’Horo on her tombstone; we have settled tentatively on O’Horo, a form frequently encountered in Leeds County in the nineteenth century. Owen Healy and his wife were in Canada by 1833, the latest possible birthdate for their first child. They were enumerated in Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., in the 1852 census, in which he is called a farmer and the family’s religion given as Roman Catholic.^[123] Owen “Healey,” by then a widower, is enumerated in the 1881 census of Bastard & Burgess Townships in the 1881 census, in which he is still called a farmer.^[124] In his death record Owen Healy is called a farmer, and a Roman Catholic, but his marital condition is not stated; the informant was a John Smith, of Toledo, of no stated relationship to the deceased. Known issue:

1. +Francis Healy, b. 1833-34 (aged 18 in 1852) in Canada, still living unmarried with his parents in 1851, when he was a labourer. See below.
2. John Healy, b. 1838-39 (aged 13 in 1852) in Canada, a labourer in 1852, still alive in 1880. He m. 8 Feb. 1865 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo,^[125] Mary Moran, daughter of John Moran and Mary Goulden (or Golden). The record of their marriage supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers; the witnesses were William Kennedy and Mary Moran. John Healy is called a farmer in the birth records of two of his children (1878, 1880). He was enumerated with his family in Kitley Tp. in the 1871 census, in which he is again called a farmer; at the time a 70-year-old widow, Mary Mackinow, of no stated relationship, was living with them.^[126] He was enumerated with his family in Kitley Tp. in the 1881 census, in which he is again called a farmer.^[127] Known issue:
   1. Francis Healy, of Toledo, b. 1866-67 (aged 4 in 1871, 33 in 1900) at Toledo (per death record), d. unmarried in March 1900 at Brockville, Leeds Co., of pneumonia, the record calling him Frank Healy and giving his religion as Roman Catholic.^[128]
   2. William Edward Healy, b. 1868-69 (aged 2 in 1871, 12 in 1881) in Ontario.
   3. F. Daniel J. Healy, b. 1873-74 (aged 7 in 1881) in Ontario.
   4. John Healy, still unnamed at the time his birth was registered, b. 19 Oct. 1878 in Kitley Tp., Leeds Co.^[129]
   5. Eugene/Owen Roland Healy,^[130] b. 15 Dec. 1880 in Kitley Tp., Leeds Co.^[131]
3. Thomas Healy, b. probably in 1842-43 (aged 9 in 1852, 32 [!] in 1881) at Smith’s Falls (per his marriage record). He was still living unmarried with his widowed father in 1881, when he was a farmer. He m. 29 April 1884 in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Francis de Sales, Perth, after publication of banns,^[132] Mary McGuire, b. ____ (age not stated in marriage record) at Smith’s Falls, daughter of Thomas McGuire and Mary Sweeney. At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were of Smith’s Falls, and Roman Catholic in religion, the groom’s occupation not being stated.
4. Ann Healy, b. 1844-45 (aged 7 in 1852) in Canada.
5. Mary Healy (called Mary Jane in an entry in the IGI), b. 1846-47 (aged 5 in 1852) in Canada.
6. Bridget Healy, b. 6 Sept. 1849 in Kitley Tp. (IGI). She m. 18 Feb. 1873 at Smith’s Falls (IGI), Thomas Hodey.
7. +William Healy, b. around 1855-56 (aged 24 in 1881, 28 in 1882!, 35 in 1891, 40 in 1894).

Francis Healy,^[133] of lot 29, Concession 8, Kitley Tp.,^[134] (near Frankville), son of Owen Healy and Bridget O’Horo, was b. 16 Sept. 1834 (per 1901 census) in Kitley Tp. (per death registration), d. 8 Oct. 1924 in Leeds County, of pneumonia, aged 91 years,^[135] and buried in “New” St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo, where he and his wife share a tombstone. He appears with his parents as an 18-year-old in 1852, when he was a laborer. His death record names his father as a Frank Healy, born in Ireland, but no such man appears in the records of Kitley township at the time of this Francis’s birth there in 1834, and this is clearly a mistake given that he was enumerated next to John, son of Owen Healy, in the 1871 census. He m. 20 Feb. 1860 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo,^[136] Mary McNamee, b. 26 Dec. 1827 (per 1901 census) or 26 Dec. 1828 (per death record, which implies an age in better agreement with census records) in Ireland, d. 10 Feb. 1912, of heart failure, aged 83 years, and buried with her husband, daughter of Patrick McNamee and Rose Johnston (both born in Ireland). Her surname is given as McNamee both in her own marriage record and death record, and in the 1911 marriage record of her daughter Mary Jane, while it is given as MacNamee in the 1884 marriage record of her daughter Rosanna. “F. Healy” is shown as the owner of the east part of lot 29, concession 8 of Kitley, on a map prepared in 1861-62.^[137] Francis Healey and his wife appear in Kitley Tp. in the 1871 census, in which Francis is called a farmer and the family’s religion is given as Roman Catholic.^[138] Similar listings for them are found in 1881,^[139] 1891,^[140] and 1901.^[141] The informant for Francis Healy’s death was his son-in-law, Lawrence Noonan, while that for his wife was his daughter, Mary Jane Noonan. Known issue:

1. Bridget Ann Healy, b. 1860-61 (aged 10 in 1871, 20 in 1881) in Kitley Tp., who as Bridget Ann Healey, of Kitley Tp., aged 20, daughter of Francis and Mary (____) Healey, m. 25 Feb. 1881 in Kitley Tp.,^[142] Robert John Leeder, b. 1848-49 (aged 32 in 1881) in Yonge Tp., son of Robert and Jane (____) Leeder. At the time of their marriage, the record of which names both sets of parents without however supplying the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was a farmer, of Yonge Tp., and the bride was of Kitley; the witnesses were Robert John Leeder, of the Front of Yonge Tp., and Hannah Healey, of Kitley. Shortly after, they were enumerated (under the spelling “Leader”) in Yonge Front Tp. in the 1881 census, in which Robert is called a farmer and the family’s religion given as Roman Catholic; his mother was living with them at the time.^[143] At the time of the birth of their children Francis (1884) and Mary Jane (1886), Robert Leeder was a farmer, of Front of Yonge township; the birth record of their daughter Lillian (1908) gives the same occupation, and states the address more precisely as lot 22, concession 4, Front of Yonge. Known issue:
   1. Robert Leeder, b. 26 Dec. 1881 in Leeds Co.^[144]
   2. Francis Leeder, b. 15 Jan. 1884 in Leeds Co.^[145]
   3. Mary Jane Leeder, b. 19 March 1886 in Leeds Co.^[146]
   4. John Leeder, b. 20 Jan. 1888, living in 1901 with his maternal grandparents.
   5. Lillian Leeder, b. 4 July 1908 in Leeds Co.^[147]
2. Rosanna Healy, b. probably in 1862-63,^[148] in Kitley Tp. (per marriage record), d. in 1949, and buried in Philipsville Roman Catholic Cemetery. She was still living unmarried with her parents in 1881, when she was a servant. As Rosa Anna Healey she m. 11 Feb. 1884 in Kitley Tp.,^[149] Thomas Henry Myers (his name is spelt Myres in this record but not elsewhere), b. 1858-59 (aged 25 in 1884) in Bastard Tp., d. in 1920, and buried with his wife, his tombstone (at least in the published transcription) giving the seemingly impossible birthdate of 1850, son of Caesar Myres and Catharine Rape.^[150] At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were Roman Catholic in religion; the groom was a farmer, of Bastard Tp., and the bride was of Kitley Tp. The witnesses were Wm. John Myres, of Bastard Tp., and [the bride’s sister] Mary Jane Healey, of Kitley Tp. “Rosanna Myers, of the village of Philipsville in the County of Leeds,” gave testimony in 1938 for the delayed birth registration of her daughter Anna, stating that the father, Thomas Henry Myers, was at that time a farmer, of Portland, Ontario. Known issue:
   1. Mary Letitia Myers, b. 21 Jan. or 27 March 1885 (the record contains two dates) in Leeds Co. as a daughter of Thomas Myers, of Lansdowne Tp.. yeoman, and Louisance [sic!] Healy.^[151]
   2. Ambrose H. Myers, b. 1893, d. 1904, and buried with his parents.
   3. Anna Blanche Myers, b. 11 Aug. 1901 in Bastard Tp., Leeds Co.,^[152] buried with her parents. She m. Paul Winchas, b. 1904, d. 1973, buried with his wife.
3. Mary Jane Healy, b. 6 Nov. 1864 (per 1901 census) in Ontario, alive on 10 Feb. 1912 (when she reported the death of her mother). She is found in her parents’ household in 1901. She m. 12 Sept. 1911 at Toledo, Leeds Co., after publication of banns,^[153] Lawrence Noonan, b. 1865-66 (aged 45 in 1911), alive on 8 Oct. 1924 (whe he reported the death of his father-in-law), son of Dennis Noonan and Ellen Duffin. At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were of Frankville (in Kitley Tp.) and Roman Catholic in religion, and the groom was a farmer. Considering the bride’s age at marriage, it seems unlikely there was issue.
4. Frances Julia Healy, b. 1867-68 (aged 3 in 1871, 13 in 1881, 30 in 1898) in Kitley Tp. (per her marriage record). She m. 21 Feb. 1898 in Leeds Co.,^[154] John Joseph Dougherty, b. 1868-69 (aged 29 in 1898) in Ireland, son of Patrick Dougherty and Cecilia O’Rilley. At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was a tradesman, of Brockville, and the bride was of Kitley. Only known child:
   1. Patrick Joseph Dougherty, b. 22 March 1899 in Leeds Co.^[155]

William Healy, son of Owen Healy and Bridget O’Horo, was b. around 1855-56 (aged 24 in 1881, 28 in 1882!, 35 in 1891, 40 in 1894) in Bastard Township, d. 23 May 1894, and was buried with his parents in “New” St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo. He was still living unmarried with his widowed father in 1881, when he was a farmer. He m. 26 April 1882 in Gananoque Tp., Leeds and Grenville County, according to Roman Catholic rites, after publication of banns,^[156] Ellen O’Grady (sometimes called Alice), b. probably about 1856-59 (aged 22 in 1882, 35 in 1891, 50 in 1909) in Lansdowne Tp., d. shortly before 9 Feb. 1909, when she was buried with her husband, daughter of Michael O’Grady and Bridget Ivy (?). At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was a farmer, of Bastard Tp., and the bride was of Lansdowne Tp.; the witnesses were Michael Judge and Elizabeth Gavin. She is called Alice in their marriage record but Ellen in the 1909 marriage record of her son John, and on her tombstone. This couple is found in the Bastard & Burgess Tp. in the 1891 census, in which William is called a farmer and the family’s religion is given as Roman Catholic; his placement in the record indicates that he lived somewhere between the 7th and 10th concessions.^[157] We assume this was near Frankville, which town is given as the address of the attending physician in the 1911 death record of their unmarried daughter Rose Anne.
    Known issue (no birth records found for any of the children):

           He was born on the family homestead at RR 1, Toledo, on August 31, 1927, the son of John Healey and the former Mary Yates. He was raised on the farm and educated in that area. On September 25, 1952, he married Audrey Sands and they farmed on the family homestead. Mr. Healey enjoyed sports, especially baseball. He played for the Frankville Red Birds and followed the local Toledo ball team when his sons and nephew played. He watched his grandsons play hockey with the Smiths Falls Midget Bears, particularly during the 1990 European tour. He was a die-hard Montreal Canadiens fan. His main interests were his home and family.
           He is survived by his wife Audrey Healey, of RR 1, Toledo, and five children: Debbie Banks and husband Reg and Tony Healey and wife Donna, all of RR 1, Frankville [in Kitley Tp.]; Janet Shaver and husband Steve of RR 4, Athens; Tim Healey and wife Laurie of RR 1, Frankville; and Tammy Healey and friend Mark of Brockville.
           Also surviving are grandchildren Robert Giff and wife Kelly, Michael Giff and wife Joanne, Kevin and Angie Lee, Keri and Jackie Healey, Katie, Dylan and Cody Shaver, Emma Healey and Taylor Kearney, as well as great-grandchildren Kendall, David, Bailey, Camryn and Megan.
           Also surviving are his sisters Rose Boyd of Aliquippa, Penn., and Catherine White of RR 1, Portland, and brother Ray Healey and wife Marge of Smiths Falls, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and sisters-in-law, Helena Healey and of Toledo and Gloria Healy of Timmins. Sister-in-law Eliza Healey, of Toledo, died January 11.
           He was predeceased by six brothers, William, Bernard, Phillip, Neil, Yates and Blaise Healey, and three sisters, Doris Healey, Elaine Mott and Madeline Burns, and a son-in-law, David Giff in 1977.
           Friends were received at the Judson Funeral Home, Athens, on January 3 and 4. The funeral mass was celebrated January 5 in St. Philip Neri Church, Toledo, with Father Robert Chisholm officiating. Burial followed at St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo.
           The pallbearers were three grandsons, Robert and Michael Giff and Kevin Lee, son Tony Healey and nephews Don Boyd and Peter Healey. Honorary pallbearers were Gerard Cauley, Gerald Sands, Wilfred Leeder, Vernie Edwards, Jack Wilkinson and Mark Healey.^[162]

   14. Blaise Healey, b. 1929, d. 1997.
4. A. Bridget Healy, b. 1886-87 (aged 4 in 1891).
5. Lena Healy, b. 1888, d. (apparently unmarried) 1906, and buried with her parents.
6. A. Katie Healy, b. in 1890 (aged 8 months at the taking of the 1891 census).
7. Laura Cecilia Healy, b. 1893-94 (aged 25 in 1919) at Toledo (per marriage record). As Laura Cecilia, daughter of William Healy and Helen O’Grady, she m. 12 Aug 1919 at Cornwall, Stormont County, according to Catholic rites,^[163] Anthony Pelley, b. 1894-95 (aged 24 in 1919) at Belleville, Ontario, son of Felix Pelley and the late Delia Genest (deceased at the time of her son’s marriage). At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were Roman Catholic in religion, while the groom was a painter, of Cornwall, Ontario, and the bride was of Toledo; the witnesses were James Welsh, of Kingston, and Agnes Healy, of Kingston.

Thomas Healy, of Kitley Tp., Leeds Co., was b. around 1808 (aged 65 in 1871, 70 [!] in 1881) in co. Mayo Ireland (per his death record), d. 5 May 1888, of “old age,”^[164] and was buried in Old St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo, the age of 85 years given in his death record and on his tombstone being wildly exaggerated. He m. probably before 1838, and certainly before 1850, Bridget Browne, b. 1815-16 (aged 65 in 1881) in Ireland, d. 18 Sept. 1881, and buried with her husband (with whom she shares a tombstone), her age at death being even more wildly exaggerated (or possibly mis-transcribed) as 88 years. Her maiden surname is given in the 1889 marriage record of their son Anthony. Thomas and Bridget Healy were still in Ireland in 1842, the earliest possible birthdate for their son Anthony, but were in Canada by March 1856, when they buried two children. They appear in Kitley Tp. in the 1871 census, in which he is called a farmer and the family’s religion is given as Catholic.^[165] The listing for them in 1881 is similar.^[166] In his death record Thomas “Healey” is called a farmer and a Roman Catholic, and the informant of his death was [his son] Anthony Healey, of Toledo. We assume the Artie Haley found in his household in 1881 is a son. It will be noted that this couple lost three children in 1856, two of them in the same month, which suggests they were victims of some epidemic.
    Known issue:

1. (presumably) Artie Haley, b. 1837-38 (aged 43 in 1881) in Ireland, alive in 1881. He is not found in his parents’ household in 1871, but appears there in 1881. He apparently m. Mary ____, b. 1852-53 (aged 28 in 1881), who is enumerated next to him in the census although they are not indicated as being a married couple. There is also a child, Anna Haley, b. 1876-77 (aged 4 in 1881).
2. Anthony Healy, b. about 1842 (aged 30 in 1871, 46 in 1889, 51 in 1891, 61 in 1901) in Ireland, alive in 1901. he was still living unmarried with his parents in 1871, when he was a farmer. He m. 9 Sept. 1889 in Leeds Co.,^[167] Sophia McDonald, b. probably in 1869 (aged 19 in 1889, 22 in 1891, 32 in 1901) in Bastard Tp., alive in 1901, daughter of Michael McDonald, of Brockville, by the latter’s wife Catherine Cawley [or Cauley].^[168] At the time of their marriage, the record of which supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers, both parties were of Kitley Tp. and Roman Catholic in religion, and the groom was a husbandman; the witnesses were Thomas Feeney (?) and Mary Healey, both of Kitley. They were enumerated in Kitley Tp. in the 1891 census, in which Anthony is called a farmer and he family’s religion is given as Roman Catholic,^[169] and again in the 1901 census with similar information.^[170] We have not found them in the 1911 census. Known issue (birthdates from 1901 census):
   1. Bridget E. Healy, b. 10 Nov. (?) 1888.
   2. Catharine Healy, b. 30 July 1890.
   3. Mary L. Healy (called Mary Lillie in an entry in the IGI), b. 13 Jan. 1894.
   4. Thomas Healy, b. 30 July 1897, killed in an accident in the 1940s.^[171] He m. Loretta McCormick.
   5. Margaret Healy, b. 16 (?) March 1898.
   6. Geraldine Healy (according to Glenda McPhadden Franklin).
3. Mary Healy, b. 1843-44 (aged 27 in 1871), still living unmarried with her parents in 1871, but not longer in their household in 1881.
4. Bridget Healy, b. 1845-46 (aged 25 in 1871), still living unmarried with her parents in 1871, but not longer in their household in 1881.

7. Michael Healy, b. about April 1855, d. 2 March 1856, aged 11 months, and buried with his parents.

Patrick Healy,^[172] of Kitley Tp., Leeds Co., b. 1805-06 (aged 65 in 1871) in Ireland. He m. by 1838 in Ireland, Catherine Rape, b. 1810-11 (aged 60 in 1871) in Ireland. Patrick Healy and his wife came to Canada some time between the births of their daughters Catherine (1838/39) and Mary (1841/42). Patrick Healey was enumerated in the 1844 census of Kitley Tp., at which time his household included, besides himself, two adult women and two girls, but not boys. One of these women (an older daughter?) and one of girls remains unaccounted for.^[173] He was also enumerated in the 1861 census, in which he is called a tailor and the family’s religion given as Roman Catholic.^[174] He was also enumerated in the 1871 census, in which he is called a farmer and the family’s religion given as Roman Catholic.^[175] Known issue (order uncertain):

1. Catherine Healy, b. 1838-39 (aged 22 in 1861) in Ireland; living unmarried with her parents in 1861, but no longer in their household in 1811.
2. Mary Healy, b. 1841-42 (aged 19 in 1861) in Upper Canada; living unmarried with her parents in 1861, but no longer in their household in 1811.
3. Ann Healy, b. 1843-44 (aged 16 in 1861) in Upper Canada; living unmarried with her parents in 1861, but no longer in their household in 1811.
4. Bridget Healy, b. about 1845 (aged 14 in 1861, 26 in 1871), who became a Catholic nun. “Papers from the church say her parents are Patrick Healy and Catherine Rape.”
5. John Healy, b. probably in 1849 (aged 12 in 1861, 21 in 1871) in Ireland.

Patrick Healy, of ____; m. probably by 1847, Catherine Gahagan. We have not found this couple in the 1881 census, and indeed cannot estimate the date of their arrival in Ontario. Known issue:

1. Mary Healy, m. 20 Sept. 1870 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo (no civil registration found),^[176] Patrick Carey, son of Patrick Carey and Catherine Flanagan. The record of their marriage supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers; The witnesses to the marriage were James Trainor and Ann Healy. We have not found this couple in the 1881 census.
2. Ann Healy, probably b. in 1844-45. In 1870 she served as a witness at the marriage of her sister Mary Healy. She herself m. 20 Feb. 1871 in (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic Church, Toledo,^[177] David Bulger, son of Patrick Bulger and Catherine Carney. The record of their marriage supplies the full names of both sets of parents including the maiden surnames of the mothers; the witnesses were James Feeney and Ann Munly. They were probably the David and Anna Bulger found at Brockville, Elizabethtown Tp., Leeds Co., in the 1881 census, he being a farmer and the family’s religion Catholic.^[178]

Catharina ____, widow of ____ Healey, b. 1811-17 in Ireland, d. 17 Dec. (per her burial record) or 19 Dec. (per her death record) 1902 in Kitley Tp., of “old age.”^[179] At the time of her death she was a widow, of concession 2, Kitley Tp., and a Roman Catholic; the death was reported by a James Traguer (?). Her death record and burial record are somewhat in conflict, reporting her age at death as 85 years and 90 years, respectively, so that the date of her birth cannot be estimated with any exactitude.

Anthony Healy, b. 1832-33, d. 19 Dec. 1902, of pneumonia, aged 69 years,^[180] and buried the next day in the “New” St. Philip Neri Cemetery, Toledo. At the time of his death he was a widower, of concession 3 of Kitley Tp., and Roman Catholic in religion; the death was reported by an Anthony O’Connor. We have not found this man in the 1881 census. Perhaps he was really the Anthony Healy, b. about 1842 (son of Thomas Healy and Bridget Browne), with the age at death misstated.

An Anthony Healy of Kitley, collector of the Roman Catholic Separate School tax, successfully brought a widely-reported lawsuit against a man who had defaulted on payment of the tax. The published report reads:

ONTARIO. SEVENTH DIVISION COURT — LEEDS AND GRENVILLE. HEALY v. CAREY. The plaintiff, who was collector of the Roman Catholic Separate School tax, for and in the Township of Kitley, having sued the defendant for the amount of a Roman Catholic Separate School tax, the latter admitted that he was a separate school supporter, but contended that he had leased his real estate to his son who was a supporter of public schools, and who, as between defendant and himself was to pay all taxes and had paid the public school tax.
    Held, 1. That the defendant was liable. 2. That the action should have been brought in the name of the trustees as a corporation, and an amendment allowed. (BROCKVILLE, February 6, 1877.)
    This cause was tried before the Junior Judge of the County Court of Leeds and Grenville at Frankville on the 16th January, 1876. The action was brought to recover $8.81, amount due from the defendant as school rates for 1876, embracing the collector’s rate for collecting.
    The defendant did not dispute the fact of his being a supporter of the Roman Catholic Separate School, and indeed it was proved that he had been one of the trustees during the previous year. But he contended that his real estate was leased to his son who was to pay the taxes and was a supporter of the public schools, and as such was to pay or had paid the public school tax. He also contended that the assessment had not been equalized, but nothing turned upon this.
    The Judge reserved judgment and named a subsequent day and hour for the delivery thereof. He also intimated that in his opinion the action should have been brought in the name of the trustees instead of by the collector, but directed that any necessary amendment as to this might be made.
Judgment was subsequently given as follows:

McDONALD, J.J. — I have given the matter most careful consideration and the principal difficulty with which I have been met is this: That if the defendant is compelled to pay this tax, the farm upon which the assessment was made, will have been taxed for the support of two schools. Out of this also arises a possible question of the tenant having to pay taxes towards the support of a public school and of a Roman Catholic Separate School, as he is, under the terms of his lease, obliged to pay taxes. Again on the other hand if the collector of the public school tax applied to the owner for payment of that assessment the latter could refuse to pay it on the ground that he was a supporter of the Roman Catholic Separate School, and not liable to pay a public school tax.    
The 7th section of the Separate School Act, of 1368, 26 Vict. cap. 6, enacts that, “The Trustees of Separate Schools forming a body corporate under this Act, shall have the power to impose, levy, and collect school rates or subscriptions upon and from persons sending children to or subscribing towards the support of such schools, and shall have all the powers in respect of Separate Schools, that the Trustees of Common Schools have and possess under the provisions of the Act, relating to Common School.”
    The 14th section of the same Act of 1863, amongst other things enacts that, “Every person paying rates, whether as proprietor or tenant, who, by himself or his agent, on or before the first day of March in any year gives, or who, on or before the first day of March of the present year, has given to the Clerk of the Municipality notice in writing that he is a Roman Catholic, and a supporter of a Separate School, situated in the said Municipality, or in a Municipality contiguous thereto, shall be exempted from the payment of all rates imposed for the support of Common Schools, and of Common School Libraries, or for the purchase of land or erection of buildings for Common School purposes within the City, Town, Incorporated Village, or section in which he resides, for the then current year, and every subsequent year thereafter, while he continues a supporter of a Separate School; and such notice shall not be required to be renewed annually.”
    In my humble judgment the defendant, being a Roman Catholic, and a supporter of the Separate School, under the provisions of the 14th section above mentioned is wholly exempt from the payment of Public School rates, while under the provisions of the 7th section the Trustees of the Separate School had power to impose school rates or subscriptions upon him and have power to collect the same. My judgment is therefore against the defendant.
    In my opinion the action should have been brought in the name of “the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Separate School for the section number seven in the Township of Kitley” and I direct that the summons, particulars of claim, and other papers and proceedings be amended accordingly. No objection was taken by the defendant as to the action having been brought in the name of the wrong plaintiff, but I myself raised the question.
    Judgment for the plaintiff.^[181]

“Mrs. Francis Healy,” of Phillipsville, Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., b. 1830-31, d. shortly before 9 Nov. 1894, aged 63 years, when she was buried at (Old) St. Philip Neri Roman Catholic church, Toledo, the burial being attended by Anthony Rogers and Thomas Ralph [i.e. Thomas Rape?].

Moran Note

There were several marriages between members of the Healy family and persons named Moran, including Catharine Healy to Patrick Moran, our own direct ancestor Michael Healy to Catharine Moran, Mary Jane Healy to William James Moran (son of James Moran and Mary McDonald) and Julia Ann Healy to William John Moran (son of Patrick Moran and Sarah Granahan). We do not know whether any of these persons were related to one another, and the only family group on whom we have substantial further detail is the following one, our account of which draws on materials brought to our attention by Margaret Quigley:

Patrick Moran, of Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., Ontario, b. 1823-24 (aged 57 in 1861) in Ireland, d. 8 July 1900, aged 75 years, and buried in Philipsville Roman Catholic Cemetery, Bastard Tp., with wife Sarah Granahan, b. (aged 56 in 1881, 64 in 1886) in Ireland, who d. 2 Sept. 1886, aged 64 years. They were in Ontario at the birth of their son Michael in 1847 or 1848, but in the U.S. from 1852 to 1856 at least, as evidenced by the births of two daughters there. They had however retured to Canada by 1861, when they appear in Bastard Tp., in the census, which calls Patrick a farmer; there were two other Moran families in the immediate vicinity, both headed by men about the same age as Patrick.^[182] They appear in the 1881 census of Bastard & Burgess Townships.^[183] Known issue:

1. Michael Moran, b. 1847-48 (aged 13 in 1861) in Ontario, a laborer in 1861. Margaret Quigley notes: “I found a marriage record for Michael Moran who married Mary Ann Hughs. This may be another son of Patrick and Sarah, although the mother was listed as Mary Moran. This couple moved to Dakota Territory in 1880 and are found on the 1885 Territorial census. Later he is widowed and living with Andrew [Hughs] and Catherine and listed as brother-in-law. Died about 1918.
2. Margaret Moran, b. probably in 1849-50 (aged 11 in 1861, 27 [!] in 1881) in Kitley Tp. (per her marriage record); still living umarried with her parents in 1881. She m. 26 Nov. 1882 in Leeds Co., by Roman Catholic rites,^[184] James White, b. 1856-57 (aged 25 in 1882) in Kitley Tp. (per his marriage record), son of Thomas White and Mary Kelley. At the time of their marriage, the record of which names her parents as Patrick Moran and Sarah Granahan, both parties were residing in Kitley Tp.; the witnesses were Michael Judge and Eliza McCann, both of Kitley.
3. Catherine Moran, b. 1851-52 (aged 9 in 1861) in New York; m. by 1881, Andrew Hughs. Margaret Quigley notes: “Andrew Hughs and Catherine Moran’s only daughter was Julia Ann Hughes. Her death certificate tells that she was born in Smith Falls, Ontario, and that her mother’s maiden name was Moran, and that she was born in New York…. Andrew and Catherine moved to Minto, ND in the early 1890s.” They were the great-grandparents of Margaret Quigley’s husband.
4. Mary J. Moran, b. 1856-57 (aged 24 in 1881) in the U.S.; still living unmarried with her parents in 1881.
5. William John Moran, b. 1859-60 (aged 21 in 1881, 27 in 1887) in Bastard Tp. He m. 19 April 1887 at Phillipsville, Bastard Tp., Leeds Co., Julia Ann Healy, b. 1 Jan. 1868. See the main text above.
6. (?) Celia Moran, b. 1872-73 (aged 8 in 1881) in Ontario; perhaps on chronological grounds more likely to have been a granddaughter. Margaret Quigley notes that she is not found in any census but that of 1881.
