Mr.. Maroney came to Oakland in

at its close he returned to Oakland,
engaging in the livery business. He
was born in Ireland in 1898 and came
to this country at the age of fifteen
years, making the trip with party
OF friends. He landed in New York
and from there proceeded TO Albany
where he remained for short time.
when he went to st. Louis where he
made his home with an uncle until
the time of his removal to Oakland.
AT the opening of the Civil War he
enlisted in Company b, Third West
Virginia Cavalry and rendered brave
service during the entire period of
the war. During Hunters raid he
received a wound that confined him
to the hospital for some time, and
during the battle of Winchester he
had two horses shot from under him,
himself narrowly escaping with his
life. Both at Winchester and Fish
er's Hill he was associated with the
then Major William Mckinley, DOW
President of the United States. He
was taken prisoner in the Valley of
Virginia, but was paroled after one
day of imprisonment.
Upon his return to Oakland in 1865,
Mr.. Maroney again engaged in the
livery business which in time grew
TO be quite large. In recent years ne
had associated with him his son
Richard. In politics he was an ar
dent Republican and like all old sol

Army of the Republic. Religiously
Mr.. Maroney was devout Catholic.
In 1860 he was married to Miss
Bridget Keefe, daughter of James and
