O’LEARY, REV. CORNELIUS F., Wellston, Mo., was born in the parish of
Lixnan, County Kerry, Ireland, on the 20th of July, 1850; is the son
of Cornelius O’Leary and Jane Stack, being the seventh and last child
of the family; has ever felt a pride in being descended from the
O’Learys and McSheehys on the one side and Stacks and O’Connors on the
other—names held in honor and respect throughout the classic Kingdom
of Ireland. From early youth he attended the national schools of the
parish, and later was afforded the blessing and superior advantage of
an education at the hands of the Christian Brothers of Tralee. At
fifteen years of age he was induced by his honorable cousin, Thomas R.
Wilson, Attorney at Killarney, to enter his office and prepare for the
study of law. He soon grew discontented with the tedious forms and
complexities of the law, returned to Tralee and entered the Classical
School conducted by Charles McCarthy, a graduate of Trinity College,
Dublin. At seventeen, it next became his fortune to come to America
and he settled in the West, “Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to
the sea.” With true Irish courage he accommodated himself to
circumstances, looked neither to the right or to the left until he
reached the goal of his pious ambition, receiving Holy Orders at the
hands of Archbishop Ryan, then of St. Louis, in May, 1873. Rector of
Notre Dame Church, Wellston, Mo.
