JAMES McCUE, blacksmith, at Greenleaf 0 village, Meeker county, is a native of
Ireland, born on the 10th of May, 1837. When he was but one year old, his parents,
Timothy and Margaret McCue, emigrated to the United States and settled near Buffalo,
N. Y. Mrs. McOue died soon afterward, and when James was ten years of age he was
placed in a store at Hamilton, Ontario, where he remained until he reached his
seventeenth year, at which time he was apprenticed to a blacksmith near Hamilton.
Three years later, in 1857, he came to Minnesota, and located in Northfield, Rice
county. In the fall of 1858 he went to California, where he remained about four
years, engaged at mining and blacksmithing. Then, leaving there, he spent two or
three years in Nevada and Montana, during the great mining excitement, and at the
expiration of that time he returned to the States. After a trip to Southern Kansas,
he returned to Minnesota and settled in Renville county, In 1877 he left his family
at Hutchinson and went to the Black Hills, D. T. After making several trips home, he
finally, in 1879, returned to Renville county, and continued to live there until
1884, when he came to the village of Greenleaf, and established his present
business. Being thoroughly skilled at his trade, he commands a good patronage. In
1886 he made a trip to Huntsville, Ala., but returned without giving the matter of
locating there much thought.

   Mr. McCue was married at the village of Green leaf in 1873, to Miss Mary Kaler, a
daughter of Christian and Almira Kaler, of Greenleaf township. Six children have
been the fruit of this union, as follows — John E., born March 20, 1875; Stella A.,
born April 9, 1877; Alford 0., born August 21, 1879; Effie May, born March 29, 1881;
Margaret Myra, born March 13, 1883; Annie Ethel, born March 19, 1885.
