Toni Stevens-Oliver has scanned and donated the pages of a scrapbook owned by her great-grandparents, James and Ella (O'Donnell) O'Hara. The clippings concern their extended families - Dwyer, Fitzstephens, Hart, McHale, McNulty, McGinnis, Moran, O'Donnell, and O'Hara.

Thank You, Toni

This page is the alphabetical index to the over 400 newspaper clippings about the lives of residents of the Irish Settlement area. The clippings cover almost 100 years starting in the early 1900s. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, many of the children of the original settlers migrated to Wellsville, NY. (The Sacred Heart Cemetery in which many were buried is in Wellsville.) Some also followed oil field work to Oklahoma and Texas.

When you find a name, click the link in the last column to open the scrapbook page and read the original item. When reading clippings, keep these things in mind:

• When the page is displayed, click on any article to magnify the entire page.
• The obituaries mention only survivors. Wives and children who predeceased are not mentioned.
• From the late 20s through to the late 30s, the event date is usually not in the clipping. Instead, the event occurred 'this morning, or 'last Wednesday'. Many of these clippings are marked with a hand-written date. I have taken this as the event date.
