    PETER J. CONNOLE, a thrifty and enterprising young man who is #engaged in
farming and stock-raising on section 16, Harvey township, is a native of
Pennsylvania, and was born on the 16th of April, 1865. His parents were Peter and
Bridget Connole. The father, Peter, was a native of Ireland, born November 1, 1830.
When still young he came to the United States and settled in Hollidaysburgh, Blair
county, Pa. The family remained there until 1872, when they removed to Meeker
county, Minn., and settled in Ilarvey township, where they were living at the time
of the death of the father, August 22, 1877. His death was the result of a runaway.
He had rented a farm in Kandiyohi county, and was on his way from home to the farm
when the sad accident occurred, and it was supposed that the wagon ran over him.
When found he was still living, but so seriously injured that he died within eight
hours. His death was a sad blow to the family, as he was beloved by them and
respected by all who knew him. His widow, who was also a native of Ireland, is still
living in this township. They had a family of nine children, who are still living,
six boys and three girls. Their names are as follows— Thomas W., John C., Mary A.,
Peter J., Katie E., Lillie B., Rodger, Patrick and Martin F.

   Peter J. Connole, the subject of this sketch, has followed farming most of his
life. He received a common-school education, and imbibed the same principles of
frugality and industry which are characteristic of the race from which he springs.
He is a good manager and has been very successful in his farming operations. In
religion he is a Catholic, and in political matters he supports the democratic
principles.
