Iowa

Background

During the 1850s, many Irish settlements were founded throughout the state. The first real colony of Irish was established by Rev. Thomas Hore in Allamakee County. Hore, a native of Wexford County, arrived in Dubuque on January 23, 1851. By 1856, a large group of Irish settled in Chickasaw County. They formed a rural community known as the “Reilly Settlement. Irish settlements were started around the same time near Independence, Fairbanks, and Monti in Buchanan County. Beginning with only 4885 in 1850, the number of the Irish-born in Iowa rapidly increased to 20,896 in 1856, to 28,072 in 1860, to 40,124 in 1870, and reached their highest total of 44,061 in 1880. Although these Irish immigrants were to be found in practically every township and every county of the State, they seem to have been attracted chiefly to the larger towns such as Dubuque, Clinton, Davenport, Burlington, Keokuk, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Council Bluffs.

In 1885, Greene County appeared with 560 Irish-born settlers, all the other counties having decreases except Polk, Pottawattamie, and Woodbury where the growth of Des Moines, Council Bluffs, and Sioux City account for a considerable increase.

Since 1880 the Irish-born in Iowa have rapidly declined from 42,524 in 1885, 33,006 in 1895, 22,578 in 1905, 14,299 in 1915, and 10,686 in 1920. Mortality thinned the ranks of the Irish immigrants, and their places have not been filled by new Irish immigrants. Their children and grandchildren, however, constitute a numerous progeny, and Irish Catholic communities long flourished in 20^th century Iowa.

In 1885, William Anglim (born 1816 in Ireland) lived in LaGrange, Iowa with his wife Mary (born 1824 in Canada) and daughter, Elizabeth (born 1857 in Canada). In 1885, William worked as a farmer.⁷¹⁴

Keokuk was a boom town in 1853. Many Irish who had stopped in the east cam here by way of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Others came by way of the Gulf of Mexico directly from Europe.

In the Mid 1870s, the US government built a canal nine miles long on the west bank of the Mississippi River extending from Keokuk to Nashville. Irish laborers did the construction. The canal was completed in 1878. During that time, many Irish families built small cottages. This old Irish settlement became known as “Smoky Hallow”. A dam was built in 1913, creating Lake Keokuk, and submerging the old Irish settlement.

In 1880, Michael Anglim (born ca. 1810 in Ireland), lived on Canal Road in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa, with his wife, Ellen (born ca. 1830 in Ireland), and children: Johana (born ca. 1861 in Iowa), Patrick (born ca. 1863 in Iowa), and Michael (born ca. 1863 in Iowa). In 1880, Michael Anglim worked on the railroad.⁷¹⁵ Shortly thereafter, Michael worked as a laborer for the US War Department, Engineer Department He was appointed to this position from Iowa. He was employed in the vicinity of Keokuk, Iowa. His compensation was 15 cents per hour.⁷¹⁶

The younger Michael mentioned above, may have been the Michael Anglim who subsequently moved to Butte, Montana.

In 1910, Timothy Anglim (born 1829 in Ireland). He immigrated in 1855. In 1905, he lived at 10^th and Canal, in Keokuk with Catherine. In 1910, he lived on 341 Canal Road in the third ward of the City of Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa. By 1910, he was widowed.⁷¹⁷

In 1885, John Anglim (born 1853 in Ohio) lived in Calliope, with his wife Ellen (born 1862 in New York), and children: James Anglim (born 1882 in Illinois) and Thomas Anglim (born 1884 in Sioux County, IA). John Anglim worked as a railroad man.⁷¹⁹

In Ca. 1937, Frank M. Anglim and Rose A. Anglim, lived in a home at 1009 E. Rusholme, Davenport, Iowa. He worked at Underwood, Elliott Fisher Co. See, Monagea Anglims, C-53.

Famine era Irish immigration caused the number of Catholic Churches in Kansas to increase from three in 1854 to 45 in 1871. Shortly after the Civil War, Irish labor helped build the Kansas Pacific Railroad and others worked in coal mines in southeast Kansas. By the early 1870s, there were well-established Irish communities, such as those in Leavenworth. There are also several communities in Kansas with Irish names such as Doyle Creek and Doyle Township in Marion County, Irish Flats in Meade County, and Irish Creek in Marshall County.

In 1880, three young Anglim sisters lived together in Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas:

Mary E. Anglim (born ca. 1868 in Kansas), Margaret Anglim (born 1870 in Kansas), and Matilda A. Anglim (born 1876 in Kansas). They lived with their mother, Mary Conway (born 1847 in Ireland) and her sister, Catherine Conway (born ca. 1878 in Kansas). Mary Conway worked doing washing and ironing.⁷²⁰
John Houston Anglim (born January 7, 1900) lived in Riley Kansas, ca. 1917-1918.⁷²¹

Today, 24% of Massachusetts residents are of Irish ancestry, nearly double the national average. Irish is the leading ancestry group in the state. In 11 Massachusetts counties, Irish is the largest observed ancestry group. 46.5 % of Braintree residents reported irish as their first ancestry.

In 1894, he boarded at 25 Sawyer. He worked as a stableman from 1894-1897. He lived at 112 Lenox, Roxbury, from 1895-1900. He worked as a watchman in 1899-1905. He lived at 3 Head Place, from 1902-1905. From 1914-1915, he lived at 37 Sharon Place. From 1916-1917, he lived at a house at 17 Clarence in Roxbury. He worked as a driver from 1912-1917.⁷³²

From ca. 1953-55, Kenneth Anglim lived at 36 Maple, in Stoneham, MA. From ca. 1957-1971, he lived at 4 Salem Ave. in Woburn, MA. From ca. 1953-1971, he worked as a machinist for the Herald Traveler.⁷³³

Shoe manufacturing was a major part in the city’s history. The business grew in the 1750s and flourished until the 1920s. Many immigrants, including the Irish, came to Brockton to work in the shoe industry. This earned Brockton a reputation as “The City of Shoes.” Brockton is also given credit as being a pioneer city in the use electricity.

In 1910, Michael was a veneerer at a paint shop, Henry worked as a shoe store clerk, and Isabel worked as a shirt shop labor.⁷⁵⁰

In 1912-1913, William E. Anglim lived with his family at 210-5^th. From 1912-1913, he worked as a clerk.⁷⁵⁴ He graduated from high school and was considered “one of the most popular members of his class. At his 21^st birthday party, he received a gold watch and chain, and the festivities went on to the late hours of the night.⁷⁵⁵ From ca. 1913-1923, William E. Anglim lived in Leominster, and worked as a salesman for CA Cross & Co., Inc.⁷⁵⁶ He served in the US Navy during World War I. William E. Anglim (born 1892) married Celia B Anglim (born ca. 1896) in 1924. They lived at 76 Nashua, in Fitchburg, ca. 1925. They had one daughter, Ursula Anglim (born ca. 1927). From ca. 1926 to ca. 1955, they lived at 38 Marion Street in Fitchburg, Worcester, MA.⁷⁵⁷ From ca. 1925-1928, he worked as the manager for the candy department for Cross at 27 Water, in Fitchburg. In 1931, he worked as a field supervisor for Cross.⁷⁵⁸ By 1932, he became a field manager. From ca. 1933 through 1959, he served as treasurer of the company.⁷⁵⁹ From ca. 1956-1965, they lived at 25 Everett, in Fitchburg. He was retired by 1965, but still was a director of Fidelity Bank.⁷⁶⁰

In 1840, 4000 to 5000 Irish or those of Irish ancestry lived in Michigan. That number increased to more than 42,000 by 1870, with major settlements in Wayne, Houghton, Kent, and Marquette Counties. Most Irish pioneers came to Michigan in search of work. They found jobs in mining and lumbering. They dug canals and built railroad lines; they farmed, fished and practiced a number of trades. Among the Irish communities established included “Irish Hills in Lenawee County. By the mid-19^th century, the Irish could be found in most the Upper peninsula’s mining communities. Many Irish miners, however, moved to the copper mining region near Butte Montana, by the 1920s.

The Irish began moving to Detroit in large numbers during the 1820s. By the 1830s, the Irish parish, Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church had been established. By 1850, nearly 1/7 of Detroit’s population was Irish. The Irish ranked first among Detroit’s nationality groups, however, the German’s soon outnumbered the Irish. Detroit’s eight ward became known as “Corktown”, because of the large number of immigrants from Ireland’s Cork county. By the 1880s, Corktown had 21000 Irish families, mostly from Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, and Connaught.

Many of Michigan’s Irish immigrated through Canada, or had lived first in the East Coast, including New York and Boston. Unlike the East Coast, there was little Irish famine era immigration to Michigan, primarily because many could not afford to move inland. However, other Irish did move from the East Coast  for better opportunities and to escape discrimination.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the northern of the two major land masses that make up the U.S. state of Michigan. It is commonly referred to as the Upper Peninsula, the U.P., or Upper Michigan. More casually it is known as the land "above the Bridge" (above the Mackinac Bridge linking the two peninsulas). It is bounded on the north by Lake Superior, on the east by the St. Mary's River, on the southeast by Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and on the southwest by Wisconsin.

The Upper Peninsula contains almost a quarter of the land area of Michigan but just three percent of its total population. Residents are frequently called Yoopers (derived from "U.P.-ers") and have a strong regional identity. It includes the only counties in the United States where a plurality of residents claim Finnish ancestry. Large numbers of Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian emigrants came to the Upper Peninsula, especially the Keweenaw Peninsula, to work in the mines, and they stayed on and prospered even after the copper mines closed.

Ordered by size, the peninsula's largest cities are Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie, Escanaba, Menominee, Iron Mountain, and Houghton. The land and climate are not very suitable for agriculture because of the long harsh winters. The economy has been based on logging, mining and tourism. Most mines have closed since the "golden age" from 1890 to 1920. The land is heavily forested and logging remains a major industry.

In January 1837, the U.S. Congress admitted Michigan as a state of the Union. At the time, Michigan was considered the losing party in the compromise. The land in the Upper Peninsula was described in a federal report as a "sterile region on the shores of Lake Superior destined by soil and climate to remain forever a wilderness."

This belief changed when rich mineral deposits (primarily copper and iron) were discovered in the 1840s. The Upper Peninsula's mines produced more mineral wealth than the California Gold Rush, especially after shipping was improved by the opening of the Soo Locks in 1855 and docks in Marquette in 1859. The Upper Peninsula supplied 90% of America's copper by the 1860s. It was the largest supplier of iron ore by the 1890s, and production continued to a peak in the 1920s, but sharply declined shortly afterward. The last copper mine closed in 1995, although the majority of mines had closed decades before. Some iron mining continues near Marquette.

Thousands of Americans and immigrants moved to the area during the mining boom, prompting the federal government to create Fort Wilkins near Copper Harbor to maintain order. The first wave were the Cornish from England, with centuries of mining experience; followed by Irish, Germans, and French Canadians. During the 1890s, Finnish immigrants began settling there in large numbers, forming the population plurality in the North-Western half of the peninsula. In the early 20th century, 75% of the population was foreign-born. Today, the Upper Peninsula is home to 328,000 people—only about 3% of the state's population— living in almost one-third of the state's land area.

The Upper Peninsula is rich in mineral deposits including iron, copper, nickel and silver. Small amounts of gold have also been discovered and mined. In the 19th century, mining dominated the economy, and the U.P. became home to many isolated company towns. For many years, mines in the Keweenaw Peninsula were the world's largest producers of copper (see Copper mining in Michigan). The mines began declining as early as 1913, with most closing temporarily during the Great Depression. Mines reopened during World War II, but almost all quickly closed after the war ended. The last copper mine in the Copper Country was the White Pine mine, which closed in 1995.

Ever since logging of white pine began in the 1880s, timber has been an important industry. However, the stands of hemlock and hardwood went under-exploited until the mid-twentieth century as selection cutting was practiced in the western reaches of the forest. Because of the highly seasonal climate and the short growing season, agriculture is limited in the Upper Peninsula, though potatoes, strawberries and a few other small fruits are grown.

Tourism has become the main industry in recent decades. In 2005, ShermanTravel, LLC listed the Upper Peninsula as No. 10 in its assessment of all travel destinations worldwide. The article was republished in April 2006 by MSN.com. The peninsula has extensive coastline on the Great Lakes, large tracts of state and national forests, cedar swamps, more than 150 waterfalls, and low population densities. Because of the camping, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, hunting, and hiking opportunities, many Lower Peninsula and Wisconsin families spend their vacations in the U.P. Tourists also go there from Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and other metropolitan areas.

Irish immigrants were well represented among these early settlers, especially in the copper mining regions of the far western Upper Peninsula. By 1859, there were several Catholic churches serving the needs of Irish immigrants and a small number of other Catholics in the Upper Peninsula--St. Ignatius in Houghton, St. Ann's (later St. Patrick's) in Hancock, Holy Redeemer in Eagle Harbor, Our Lady of the Assumption in Clifton, and St. Mary's in Rockland. In 1860 a St. Patrick's Society was organized in Hancock with seventy members; it had 180 members when it was formally incorporated in 1874. Other communities in the Copper Country also established St. Patrick's Societies and, later, divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Such other groups as the Robert Emmett Young Men's Benevolent Society and the Emerald Library Society, both in Hancock, indicate that there was a growing, prosperous Irish community.

There were, by the 1870s, a number of Irish merchants, businessmen, and saloon keepers as well as physicians, attorneys, and successful politicians in the various communities of the Upper Peninsula. Yet, by 1920, the Irish had all but disappeared from the Copper Country and the entire Upper Peninsula. Their apparent economic, social, and political success had not fully insulated them from prejudice and discrimination, even in a region far removed from the settled areas of the United States. In a narrow economy, so heavily based on a single industry and dominated by a small number of large employers, these obstacles to persistence were harder to overcome. This was especially true when the Quincy Mining Company in Hancock, a major employer of Irish immigrants since it was established, began hiring fewer and fewer Irish after the mid-1880s.

In 1930, Ellen M Anglim (born ca. 1911 in Wisconsin) worked as a servant in a private home in Powell, Marquette, MI.⁷⁶⁵

In 2004, Van worked for a missile system for the Department of Defense, Ann worked as a facilities manager for Ann Arbor Public Schools, and Paul served as a Lieutenant for the Wyoming, MI. Police Department.

She was married for 38 years to Brent Shelton. They had four children: Brent Shelton II, Stephanie Shelton, Bridgette (Eric) Shelton-Brown, and Lucas Shelton. Her funeral was held at St. Joseph Catholic Church of St. Johns, MI on Friday, July 9, 2004. Rev. Fr. Kenneth McDonald officiated. Marie Therese was interred at Mt. Rest Cemetery, St. Johns, Michigan.

The Irish political leadership in early 20^th century Detroit were mostly small business owners or skilled tradesmen. When Frank Murphy, an Irish Democrat, was elected Detroit’s mayor in 1930, it heralded the imminent transformation of the city’s political structure and, as a result, the ethnic and class realignment of the city’s elite. Murphy represented the dominant social traits of Detroit;s political leadership in the 1930s and 1940s: he was a Democrat, sympathetic to labor, and a non-Anglo-Saxon ethnic. The relative position of the irish in the city’s political elite increased at a consistent pace from 1910 on, so that by 1940 they were the leading group in terms of percentage. Thus, it can be said, that the irish in Detroit, like no other group by 1940 had “arrived politically.” The large presence of irish in the 1950 political leadership of the city may be due to in part by the unionists who occupied eight of the 10 offices held by persons of irish origins.

“Corktown” is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, although the city of Detroit is twice as old. The current boundaries of “Corktown” include I-75 to the north, the Lodge Freeway to the east, Bagley and Porter streets to the south, and Rosa Parks/12 Street to the west. The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
