John McCormack

honors list with a clear majority for the leading ten Each of them is an Irishman noted for a distinguished career m the United States. A few reached the top bracket by dint of outstanding services plus special pride and interest in Irish affairs. Nearlv all are American bom. The list: Gen. Hush S. Johasor: Postmaster General James A. Farley; Pierce Butler, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court; George Michael Cohan, the actordramatist; John McCormack, the tenor; Clarence Markay, capitalist and communications magnate: William Henry Cardinal O'Connell; James A Farrell, capitalist and former head of United States Steel; Joseph F’eter Grare, industrialist ind shipping executive; Father Charles Fdward Coughlin. Some of those are not prominently known for their pure Irish ancestry'. But Irish they are, with roots in the arly Irish tribes of Nemedians, Formorians and Firbolgs. Crossed Himself Up Take Gen. Johnson, for example, who had a Celtic forbear named Son of Shane John. His mother was a MarAlonev, a family which with the Johnsons, rame here from Aghadowie. in Londonderry. Ireland. about 1812. Onlv recently has Gen. Johnson become ancestor-conscious. Guest of honor at an Irish banquet a year ago. he spoke feelingly of the land of his forbears and concluded with some verses about Killarney. in the Catholic south. Historians chuckled, knowing that he Johnsons came from the Profes,ant north. The Farley lineage is well known, and the Postmaster General is a frequent speaker at Irish celebrations. Cohan Son of a C'ostigan Justice Butler's parents were named Patrick and Mary. The Amern an ln>h Historical Society reports that a lot of the Irish Butlers are descended from one Theobald. son of Fitzwalter. who along about 1170 w u the butler of the Irish king. Theobald is namesake for many a "Toby" in race-con-scio>ls Butler families to this day. America's best-known actor. George M Cohan < accent on the last syllable, please*, is a son of Jerry Cohan and Helen Costigan. McCormack was bom in Athlone. Ireland, and became a naturalized American citizen in 1919. Joseph Grace. Clarence Markay and James Farrell all have made somethuig of a hobby of Irish history and Irish-Amencan affairs. Farrell recently donated a number of valuable books to the Historiacl Society. Cardinal O'Connell of Boston was selected as the outstanding churchman over Cardinals Hayes of New York and Dougherty of Philadelphia because he has wielded a wider influence in public affairs and morals. Father Coughlin was chosen not as a religious leader, of course, but for his political power as organizer of his National Union for Social Justice. Plenty of Irishmen disagree with what the militant priest is doing but are no les6 cognizant of the two-fisted way in which he does it.
