  JOHN McCARTHY, Little Rock township farmer, has made his home on the farm

where he now resides ever since he was seven years of age. He is a native of the

city of Boston, where he was born Jan. 9, 1873, the son of the late Dennis

McCarthy and Catherine (Collins) McCarthy.



  Dennis McCarthy was born in the county of Cork, Ireland, on Christmas day,

1840, and resided in his native land until 24 years of age, engaging in farming.

He arrived in the new world Aug. 15, 1864, and located in Boston, where he

worked at the paving business. He was united in marriage at Boston on Feb. 19,

1865, to Catherine Collins, who survives her husband and resides on the Little

Rock farm. To them were born the following children: Dannie, Nellie, Mary, John

and Dennis. The first three named are deceased. The other two reside with their

mother. Dennis McCarthy died Nov. 30, 1904.



  It was on the first day of April, 1880, that the family arrived in Adrian as

members of the Irish Catholic Colonization association, determined to make their

future homes in Nobles county. The father bought the southeast quarter of

section 17, Little Rock township, and that has been the family home ever since.



  John McCarthy has been engaged in farming the home place for the last fifteen

years. In addition to the home farm he now owns an eighty acre tract on section

7. He is a member of the Catholic church and is unmarried.
