John J. O'Meara (AOH state president of Montana to 1912; Centennial Brewing manager)

Also known as: J. J. O'Meara, John O'Meara, President O'Meara

family confidence: 0 — not family / context

Distinct from John H. O'Meara, president of the Robert Emmet Literary Association: both are printed in the same Friends of Irish Freedom list of 29 Apr 1916. A 1917 Butte Miner item (another article on the page of a Murphy obituary) calls him 'manager of the Centennial Brewing company', accompanied by Mrs. O'Meara. Margaret O'Meara and Mrs. M. O'Meara (Irish societies' committees, 1920) are not shown to be his wife.
