LINEHAN, HON. JOHN C., Penacook (Concord), N. H. He was state
insurance commissioner of New Hampshire; a founder of the
American-Irish Historical Society and treasurer-general of the same
from its organization in January, 1897, to August, 1905, when he
resigned owing to ill health. Commissioner Linehan was born in
Macroom, County Cork, Ireland, Feb. 9, 1840, and came to this
country in 1849. He was a son of John and Margaret (Foley) Linehan.
He enlisted in August, 1861, in the band of the Third New Hampshire
Volunteers and in after years was prominently identified with the
Grand Army of the Republic, holding various offices therein. He
served as a councilman and alderman of Concord, was chosen a member
of the executive council of the state of New Hampshire to serve
during the term of Gov. Charles H. Sawyer in 1887 and 1888. He was
appointed trustee for the state industrial school by Gov. Samuel W.
Hale in 1884, and except for a brief interval of a few months served
continually since. He was secretary of the board for several years,
and since 1897 was its president. He was also one of the committee
to select the location for the Concord soldiers’ monument, as well
as to select its design and inscription. He was appointed insurance
commissioner of New Hampshire for three years by Gov. David H.
Goodell, on Sept. 28, 1890. He was reappointed in 1893 by Gov. John
B. Smith, in 1896 by Gov. Charles A. Busiel, and in 1899 by Gov.
Frank W. Rollins. His record as insurance commissioner is well
known. He was fearless and conscientious in the performance of his
duties and received the commendations of his superiors, the
governors and councils, as well as of the people of the state. His
management of the insurance department was highly commended, and
throughout the country he bore the reputation of being an honest,
fearless, conscientious and capable public servant. A pamphlet
published by the United States government in 1894, in which was
printed the argument of Hon. John L. Thomas, assistant
attorney-general, for the post office department, in the case of the
United States v. the National Investment Company, contained 19 pages
of extracts from Commissioner Linehan’s reports for the years
1891–’92–’93. He was one of the charter members of William I. Brown
Post, G. A. R., and its first commander, filling the position over
two years. He was chosen to represent the Department of New
Hampshire, G. A. R., at the National Encampment in Albany in 1878,
and a member of the national Council of Administration in 1880–81.
He was elected department commander of New Hampshire in 1883 and
1884, and was appointed a member of the National Pension Committee,
serving until 1887, when he was unanimously chosen junior
vice-commander-in-chief, G. A. R. He was president of the New
Hampshire Veteran Association in 1885 and 1886, and from its
institution, with the exception of several years, its musical
director. When his candidacy for the office of commander-in-chief at
the annual G. A. R. encampment in Cincinnati in 1898 was before his
comrades throughout the country, it received the heartiest
indorsement, and when he withdrew there was much regret. He was
elected one of the board of directors of the Gettysburg Battlefield
Monument Association, and placed on the Executive Committee in 1884.
He was a trustee of the Loan & Trust Savings Bank of Concord, a
member of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Knights of Columbus,
and of the Charitable Irish Society of Boston. He was a steady
contributor to weeklies and periodicals. He contributed a chapter,
_The Irish in New Hampshire_, to McClintock’s History of New
Hampshire, also a chapter to the History of the First New Hampshire
Regiment, on _The Irish of New Hampshire in the Civil War_, and a
chapter to the History of the Seventeenth New Hampshire Regiment, on
_Music and Songs of the War_. He has written many sketches on the
early Irish settlers in the thirteen colonies, which have been
published in papers and magazines. Several papers from his pen have
appeared in the publications of the American-Irish Historical
Society. He received a degree from Dartmouth College in 1887. He was
also in demand as a speaker and lecturer, and had spoken more or
less during every political campaign since 1884. He was married to
Mary E. Pendergast by the Rev. John O’Donnell, in Nashua, N. H.,
Jan. 2, 1864. Of the children born to them, four survive—Margaret,
now Sister Mary Joseph, of the Order of Mercy; John Joseph, Timothy
Patrick and Henry Francis. Commissioner Linehan died Sept. 19, 1905.

NAPHEN, HON. HENRY F., Boston, Mass. He was a native of Ireland, and
was born in 1852. He came to this country and was educated in Boston
and Lowell, Mass. He graduated from Harvard University with the
degree of LL. B., and also took a special course at that institution
as resident LL. B., later continuing law studies at Boston
University. He was elected a member of the Boston School Committee
for three years, and at the end of that period declined a
renomination. In 1885 and 1886 he represented the Fifth Suffolk
District in the State Senate. In 1898 he was elected to Congress in
the Tenth Massachusetts District. Throughout his first term he made
memorable speeches on the Porto Rican question, the trusts, the
Philippine question, improvement of Boston harbor, and many other
important measures. Renominated by his party in 1900, Congressman
Naphen was reëlected by a majority of more than 7,200 votes, a
remarkable victory. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company, Boston Athletic Association, City Point Catholic
Association, Charitable Irish Society, Catholic Union, Knights of
St. Rose, Massachusetts Catholic Order of Foresters, the Knights of
Columbus, and other societies; was a director and clerk of the board
of directors of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, and a vice-president of
the Working Boys’ Home. He was a bail commissioner for the County of
Suffolk, and was also an honorary member of Dahlgren Post 2, G. A.
R., and Benj. Stone Post 68, G. A. R. He died in Boston in June.

TRAVERS, FRANCIS C., New York City. He was born in that city, and was
the founder of the house of Travers Brothers Company, manufacturers
of, and dealers in, twine and cordage; was president of the company;
was also a director of the Columbia National Life Insurance Co., a
trustee of the Franklin Savings Bank, vice-president of the
Merchants’ Trust Co., and was a member of the New York Friendly Sons
of St. Patrick, the Catholic Club, and other prominent
organizations. He was an intimate personal friend of President
Theodore Roosevelt, and was very highly esteemed by the latter. Mr.
Travers died at his home in New York, March 18.

=Hanrahan, John D.= (M. D.), Rutland, Vt., a native of County
Limerick, Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of
the City of New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination
(not having graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy,
and served through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he
served did duty mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina,
where he served with the army as well as the navy, thereby having
the benefit and experience of both branches of the service,
especially in the surgical line. In August, 1863, the vessel on
which he was serving was captured at the mouth of the Rappahannock
River and all on board made prisoners. They were taken overland to
Richmond where they were confined in Libby Prison. At that time the
Confederates were very short of surgeons and medical supplies, and
be was asked if he would go over to Belle Island and attend the
Union prisoners. After consulting his fellow-prisoners he consented,
and for six weeks he attended the sick and wounded Union prisoners
faithfully, under very great disadvantages, as the appliances were
very limited. After that he was paroled. While a prisoner of war he
was treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by the
medical staff and officers of the Confederacy. After the close of
the war he was settled in New York city, but for nearly 40 years has
been a resident of Rutland, Vt. He was town and city physician of
Rutland for many years. He was appointed surgeon of the Third
Vermont Regiment, 1871, by Governor Stewart; was the first president
of the Rutland County Medical and Surgical Society; has been a
director and consulting surgeon of the Rutland, Vt., Hospital;
consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen Hospital, Winooski, Vt.; a
member of the Vermont Sanitary Association, and a member of the
Vermont Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; president of
Rutland Village two years and trustee eight years; county
commissioner one year; president, United States pension examining
board four years under President Cleveland, and president of same
board four years under President Harrison. He was postmaster of
Rutland during the second term of President Cleveland. He has since
its organization been an active member of the G. A. R.; surgeon of
Roberts Post, the largest in Vermont; has served three terms as
medical director of the Department; served on the staffs of three
commanders-in-chief—Veasy, Palmer and Weissert; a member of
Commander-in-Chief Stewart’s staff. Dr. Hanrahan is the author of
several medical papers, has performed many surgical operations, and
has served through several epidemics of smallpox and diphtheria. He
was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1884, 1888,
and chairman of the Vermont delegation to the National Convention of
1892. Also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in St.
Louis, 1904, and to the Ancient Order of Hibernians Convention in

=Kelly, Eugene=, Temple Court Building, New York City.

=Kelly, John Forrest= (Ph. D.), Pittsfield, Mass.; born near
Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. He was educated in Stevens Institute of
Technology, Hoboken, N. J., received the degree of B. L. in 1878,
and that of Ph. D. in 1881. His first occupation was as assistant to
Thomas A. Edison, in Menlo Park laboratory, his work then
principally relating to the chemistry of rare earths. Late in 1879
Mr. Kelly became electrical engineer of the New York branch of the
Western Electric Company. This was the time when the telephone was
being generally introduced, and when dynamos were being first
applied to telegraphic purposes. In the construction and installment
of instruments for telegraphy and telephones and of such measuring
instruments as were then known, Mr. Kelly received a thorough
training. In 1882 he became laboratory assistant to Edward Weston,
then chief electrician of the United States Electric Lighting
Company, and, with the exception of a year which he spent in
connection with the Remingtons, Mr. Kelly continued his association
with Mr. Weston until July, 1886. Some of the most important work,
such as the research which ended in the discovery of high resistance
alloys of very low or even negative temperature co-efficients, were
substantially carried out by Mr. Kelly under general directions from
Mr. Weston, whom Mr. Kelly succeeded as chief electrician of the
United States Electric Lighting Company, which, in 1889, passed to
the Westinghouse interests; but Mr. Kelly retained his position as
chief electrician until January, 1892, when he resigned to join
William Stanley in experimental work. The work done by Mr. Kelly, in
this connection, gave a great impetus to the alternating current
business. Mr. Kelly’s inventive work is partially represented by
eighty patents. The art of building transformers and generators of
alternating currents was revolutionized, and Mr. Kelly and his
colleagues were the first to put polyphase motors into actual
commercial service. That success naturally led to long-distance
transmission work, and the first long-distance transmission plants
in California (indeed the first in the world) were undertaken on Mr.
Kelly’s recommendation and advice. He was the first to make an
hysteretically stable steel, a matter of vastly more importance than
the comparatively spectacular transmission work. Mr. Kelly at
present occupies the position of president of the John F. Kelly
Engineering Company, president of the Cokel Company and president of
the Telelectric Company, as well as president of the Conchas River
Power Company and director of the Southwestern Exploration Company.
The Cokel Company is organized to exploit the invention of Mr. E. W.
Cooke, by means of which foodstuffs may be perfectly dehydrated,
losing on the average ninety per cent. in weight. Foods dehydrated
by this process, although free from all chemical preservatives, are
entirely stable, and yet preserve their pristine freshness through
extremes of temperature, and when served are indistinguishable from
fresh foods of the ordinary type. The Telelectric Company is
organized for the manufacture of electric piano players, which are
either entirely automatic or entirely controllable at will. Mr.
Kelly was married to Miss Helen Fischer, in New York City, in 1892,
and they have two children—Eoghan and Domnall. Mr. Kelly is a
thorough and unswerving Irish Nationalist, and his splendid
generosity to the cause is well known.
