2. [Irish in Chicago] Dr.Wm Egan b.Killarney died Chicago 1860 [1]
1860-10-29 Chicago Tribune (IL) HON. WILLIAM B. EGAN. Many hearts were saddened on Saturday by the intelligence that a citizen, old and well esteemed in this community, Hon. Wm. B. Egan, expired at his residence in the West Division, just at daybreak.

My great-grandfather, George C. Mitchell, was born in Dublin in 1830 and emigrated to this country in 1847. Was a wireworker in Cincinnati; moved to Chicago bet. 1867 and 1870.

Hi I will be leaving for Mayo next week and am sending this message to weed out bad addresses. Sorry for the inconvenience but I don't want my mailbox to be all loaded up with bounced messages as I won't be able to empty it to access my good mail while I am away. Happy St. Paddy's Day to all. Nancy

I agree that it is easier to follow men as they move around the country. My Smith family came from Co. Cavan, Ireland, were in Chicago in the 1860's and 70's. Three sisters remained there, but without knowing their first names, they are totally lost to the family. How sad! Kathy

17. [Irish in Chicago] Higgins, Co.Mayo to Chicago [1]
I would like to ask if anyone has an interest in this Higgins family. My interest is due to the 2nd marriage of John Higgins to Winifred Solon as we are planning a reunion in Wisconsin in 2005 and would naturally like the opportunity to make contact with the descendants of this couple, to offer them the chance to attend the reunion. Winifred Solon was 1 of 14 children of Martin Solon & Mary McGlynn, Balla, Co Mayo, Ireland, Winifred and 11 of her siblings emigrated to the USA, my husband's great grandfa

While the specific phrase "flannel mouth" isn't covered in the following site - http://phrases.shu.ac.uk/meanings/index.html , I did recently find some expressions of note. It is principally for that adjacent isle, but there may have been some cross-pollination. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith Mason" To: Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 10:28 AM Subject: [Irish in Chicago] Old Irish Sayings > Has anyone heard the term "flannel mouth"?
