James McCue, general farmer on section 32, Hopkins Township, was born Sept. 
24, 1834, in the parish of Balanakiln, County Galway, Ireland. He emigrated 
thence in 1854, arriving in the United States in November after he was 20 
years old. He worked by the month until the spring of 1859, when he rented a 
farm. He continued its management three years, after which he bought a farm in 
Hopkins Township, containing 80 acres, where he fixed his homestead. He is now 
the owner of 460 acres in the townships of Hopkins and Lyndon, which includes 
about 300 acres under the plow. His place is well stocked with an average 
number of 90 head of cattle and 18 horses, and he fattens an annual average of 
60 hogs. His parents, Thomas and Honora (Ternon) McCue, lived and died in 
Ireland. They had four children: William, James, Mary and Ann. Mr. McCue was 
married at Dixon, Lee Co., Ill., by Rev. Father Kinady, C. P., March 1, 1859, 
to Margaret, daughter of James and Ellen (Kirk) Doyle. She is one of their 
nine children: Michael, James, Mary, Margaret, John, Patrick, Catherine, Sarah 
and Ellen. Mrs. McCue was born in Ireland, and is the mother of six children, 
named William, James, Mary, Thomas, John and Edward. Politically, Mr. McCue is 
a Democrat. He has held several official positions in local affairs. The 
family are Catholics.
