Meagher, John, of Little Falls, is a native of Ireland. He was born in 1835 
and came to America in 1846.  He learned the trade of tanner in Boston.  In 
1853 he went into business in Boston, which he gave up during the crisis of 
1860.  He then went west and took a position in Rockford, Ill.  In 1875 he 
moved to Chicago, becoming superintendent for Ingle Brothers.  Subsequently he 
was superintendent for Gray, Clark & Co. for five years.  After filling other 
responsible positions he became superintendent for J. S. Barnett in 1888, and 
has done much toward attaining the high name in leather this factory 
possesses.  In 1853 Mr. Meagher married Mary Slattery and they have six 
children living, two sons and four daughters.  Both sons work in the tannery 
with their father, Thomas F. having charge of the up stairs.
