THOMAS J. McNERNY stands foremost among the men of Imperial County and possesses
the universal respect and esteem of his fellow-townsmen. Mr. McNerny was born in
Cory, Pennsylvania, June 2, 1879, a son of Thomas and Delia (Garvey) McNerny,
residents of Horton, Kansas. His father for many years was identified with
railroad contracting, and is now retired. Thomas J. acquired his education in
the public and high schools of Horton, Kansas, and later graduated from St.
Mary's College in 1894 with the degree of A. B. He was identified with the Rock
Island Railroad as accountant at Horton, Kansas, and Colorado Springs until
1904, when he engaged in the drug business at Horton, Kansas. This business he
carried on successfully for five years. In 1911, he became part owner in the
Farmers' State Bank at Gage, Oklahoma, remaining in the banking business until
1912, when he came to California and located in Brawley. In October, 1915, Mr.
McNerny took the office as secretary of Water Company Number 8, and has held
that position up to the present time. Mr. McNerny has a comfortable ranch of
forty acres near Brawley, and has a one-half interest in a 320-acre ranch.
