MICHAEL FEGAN
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, pg 682

Michael Fegan is living retired in Globe where for a number 
of years he was connected in an important way with business 
interests.  He was born in Kingstown, Ireland and is a son of 
Thomas Fegan who for a number of years followed the brick and 
stone contracting business in England.  He was killed when the 
subject of this review was still a child.  The mother came to 
America and settled in Globe Arizona in 1896, making her home 
in that city until her death which occurred in 1899.

Michael Fegan is in all essential respects a self made man.  
At the early age of fourteen years he went to sea and was a 
sailor until 1892, traveling over nearly all the way around 
the world.  His accompanied his mother to America in 1892 and 
four years later settled with her in Globe where he turned his 
attention to mining for about three years.  At the end of that 
time he established a dairy in the city and in eight years and 
a half built up a large business.  He still makes his home in 
Globe where he supervises his residence and business property 
interests.

Mr. Fegan was married in 1874 to Miss Julia McKevitt, a native 
of Ireland who was reared in England.  They became the parents 
of seven children, four of whom still survive: Bridget, who 
married T.F. McCann, a dealer in men's furnishings in Kansas 
City, Missouri; Thomas, a mechanical engineer; Catherine, the 
wife of E.G. Griffith of Globe by whom she has one son, Ernest, 
born in 1910 and Margaret, a graduate of Globe high school and 
now a bookkeeper and stenographer.
