unexpected by those nearest to him, as
his illness extended over period of sev
eral years, and it was known that his
condition was serious
James Mcmahon was born in County
Glare. Ireland, thirty five years ago and
came to the United States in 1887. In
the fall of the same year he came to
Montana and remained here for four
years In 1891 he went east to work at
his trade Gron moulder) and located at
Meridian, Conn, where he was employed
at Fosters foundry. It was there that
he became afflicted with moulders' CON
sumption, which disease ultimately
caused his death. In 1893 he was very
i'll with hemorrhage of the lungs. and al
though he recovered, the attending ply
s,cian at that time informed him of the
seriousness of his affliction and stated
that recurrence of hemorrhage would
surely cause death. For time he was
apparently all right, but consumption
had taken hold, and several years ago
he was obliged to abandon his trade.
Believing that change OF climate would
be beneficial to him he came to Montana
in April, 1898, and made his home with
his brother, Thomas, on Marshall creek.
