William Scanlon b. 1803, Ballyduff Upper, County Waterford, Ireland, d. 1886, 
Negaunee

Margaret Fox, b. ca. 1806, Ballyduff, d. 1895, Negaunee

 

William Scanlon, b. 1845, Ballyduff, d. 1902, Negaunee

Mary Carney, b. 1844, County Cork, Ireland, d. 1908, Negaunee.

 

The Scanlon family emigrated about 1855, the younger William married Mary 
Carney about 1860, they moved to Grass Valley, California about 1861 where he 
was a gold miner for nine years working in hydraulic mines.  They returned 
east in 1869, mined copper with his father in Houghton for a time and then 
moved to Negaunee about 1872 where he was an iron miner and diamond driller.  

 

The tombstone was carved by the elder William Scanlon.   Also buried in the 
plot are four children of the younger William:  William (1863-89 – Bright’s 
disease), Cornelius (1876-1900 – mining accident), Margaret (1868-80 – 
childhood disease) and Patrick (1877-1910 – railroad accident).

It says “Scanlan” but the branch of the family in Negaunee spelled it 
as “Scanlon.”
