Patrick "Tish" Maloughney (1883–1958; "Tish Maloney" in print; JJM's best friend by family tradition; Chatham cousin of Aggie Kelly)

Inference from the tree: his sister Olive was born in Michigan about 1886 and his sister Kate in Montana in March 1887; his father died in Montana in 1889 (Find a Grave, research note).

Butte Daily Post 17 Sep 1917 p. 6, read from the Library of Congress page image by the research pass (tish-maloney.md section 6); not filed. Consistent with "since a mere boy" (1909).

Family tree only, citing the 1900 census (Walkerville, ED 86, p. 3).

Anaconda Standard 18 Oct 1903 p. 25 ("on Thursday evening"). Identity 85: the nickname-surname "Tish Maloney" is found in Butte print 1901-1920 only for this man (research note), but the item gives no address or employer. The archive's note calling this person "Letitia" is wrong: the name is among the men. 606 East Mercury street is a Butte address; the metadata's place_anaconda_mt reflects the paper, not the party.

Butte Miner 20 Mar 1904 p. 19 (proofed). Name only; same identity reasoning as 1903 (85).

Directory entry, clear. The year is from the file name only ("1906 all maloneys living in Butte.JPG"); the tree's 1906 directory entry gives 501 W. Daly, so the excerpt may be from 1904-05. 90 for the job at about this date.

The entry is clear; the year comes only from the file name, and the tree's 1906 directory entry and Westfall's 1907 reading both give 501 W. Daly, so this may be an earlier year.

Tree (U.S. City Directories, 1906); Westfall's reading of the 1907 directory, "Tish Maloney however, lives at 501 West Daly in Walkerville" (research note); the 1916 obituary has his mother dying "at her home, 501 West Daly street, Walkerville".

The curly-brace note is Dan Murphy's 1994 editorial style; the manuscript scan (2018) shows no note. A late, secondary family statement (75). That the two were close friends is shown by the diary itself (see proposed friend_of, 95).

JJM's pencil list ("Tish Maloney.") and the diary throughout. 95 = the diary's Tish is this man (research 0.95).

Booklet p. 42, on the road home.

Booklet p. 44. May Dennison was probably his and Agnes Kelly's first cousin, a daughter of his aunt Nellie (Chatham) Dennison (Find a Grave 161107011 lists a May in her 1900 Walkerville household; research estimate 0.7, not adopted here).

Butte Daily Post 6 Nov 1909. The Anaconda Standard of 4 Nov 1909 independently says "Mr. Maloughny and his bride have for some years been clerks in different departments at Hennessy's" (so his employer is 100; the department rests on the Post, 95). Both clippings lack metadata.yaml, so the apply script may drop these ids; the citations stand here.

The Post's own words, 6 Nov 1909.

His sworn licence (No. B 2146) and the officiant's certificate; the AS of 4 Nov 1909 prints "Maloughny" (no e) twice.

One primary record (county register). The witness names read clearly on the register image (4 Oct 2026).

Certificate ("joined in marriage by me on the 3rd day of November A. D. 1909"); AS of Thursday 4 Nov ("yesterday morning"); BDP of 6 Nov ("Wednesday morning"; 3 Nov 1909 was a Wednesday); tree (Montana county marriage records). Three independent records agree.

The certificate, signed by the officiant himself, and the next morning's Anaconda Standard agree; the register image re-read on 4 Oct 2026 shows "St Marys Church Butte" and "James English / Priest" clearly. 85, not 95, because one contemporary report disagrees (next fact).

Butte Daily Post 6 Nov 1909, three days after, against the certificate and the AS. St. Lawrence O'Toole was the groom's Walkerville parish, where the Rev. F. X. Batens had married James and Agnes on 19 Oct 1908 (AS 25 Oct 1908; the 1946 certificate in the diary booklet's front matter), so the Post may have assumed the home parish (inference). Recorded so the conflict stays visible.

Butte Daily Post 6 Nov 1909 (spelling "cotage" as printed).

Family tree (family @F231@, which enters the five children twice, nine entries), citing Montana birth records (box 107); deaths per the tree and Find a Grave (research note). No archive source names them.

Family tree only (U.S. City Directories, 1911).

His own paid notice, with portrait, on the AS candidates' page of 19 Aug 1914 (the same page carries JJM's notice for county treasurer). The result of the primary has not been found.

His own paid notice (AS 19 Aug 1914 p. 8, signed "P. TISH MALOUGHNEY, 511 West Quartz street") states the equation; the 1958 notice prints "MALONEY, Patrick (Tish)". Other printed forms: "Tish Maloney" (1903, 1904, 1907 diary, 1916, 1918), "P.(Tish) Maloney" and "P. [Tish] Maloney" (18 Mar 1917), "Mr. P. T. 'Tish' Maloney" (25 Mar 1917), "P. Tish Maloney" (29 Mar 1917), "P. TISH MALONEY." and "'Tish' Maloney" (3 Apr 1917), "P. 'TISH' MALONEY" (1918). The Long Beach directories list "Tish P." (research note).

Two captioned likenesses (95); the two uncaptioned ones are printed directly with his own notices (presumably his, 85).

Printed with his name in five filed items (1914 notice, 1916 dog ad, 1917 ad caption and ticket box, 1919 garage ad); the tree's 1918 directory entry agrees.

Butte Miner 6 Feb 1916 p. 23 (proofed). Identity 95 through the address.

Butte Daily Post 6 Jul 1917 p. 9 ("A. HARDCASTLE, P. TISH MALONEY, DEAN W. SELFRIDGE") and 20 Oct 1917 p. 5 ("Alderman 'Tish' Maloney"), Library of Congress OCR, via tish-maloney.md section 6; not filed.

His own ad (Butte Miner 18 Mar 1917, portrait captioned "P. [Tish] Maloney / 511 West Quartz") and the paper's slate items: "Second ward, Mr. P. T. 'Tish' Maloney" (editorial, 25 Mar) and "Second Ward-P. Tish Maloney, 511 West Quartz street." (ticket box, 29 Mar). The primary was Monday 19 Mar 1917 (inference from "tomorrow" in a Sunday paper).

Butte Independent 24 Mar 1917 p. 5, Irish Newspaper Archives OCR snippet, via tish-maloney.md section 6; not filed; the snippet does not name the party.

Butte Miner, Tuesday 3 Apr 1917, p. 10, complete returns (proofed transcription). Election day is the day before (the mayor-elect "said last evening"). The Butte Daily Post of 3 Apr 1917 ("Patrick Tish Maloney, alderman-elect from the Second ward", research note) agrees. The council organised on the first Monday in May.

Butte Daily Post 17 Sep 1917 p. 6, 26 Sep 1917 p. 12 and 25 Oct 1917 p. 8 (Library of Congress), via tish-maloney.md section 6; not filed.

Butte Miner 16 Jul 1918 p. 2, "Battery in Doubt." Name only; the same item quotes George Hageman, the Fifth Ward alderman elected with him in 1917, which suggests an officials' ball game (inference). Identity 85.

His own paid advertisement with portrait, Butte Miner 18 Aug 1918 p. 24 (proofed transcription; the archive's metadata still calls it a "mention"). The result has not been found.

The tree cites both cards; neither has been seen. The WWI card was probably the 12 Sep 1918 registration (inference).

Anaconda Standard 28 Jun 1919 p. 10. Identity 95 through the address.

Butte Daily Bulletin 5 Jun 1920 p. 6 (Library of Congress), via tish-maloney.md section 6; not filed. So his council service had ended by June 1920 (term probably May 1917 - May 1919, inference).

Family tree only, citing the 1920 census (ED 204, p. 7B) and a 1923 city directory.

Long Beach Polk directories (Long Beach Public Library, CONTENTdm OCR), via tish-maloney.md section 6; not filed.

Tree citing the 1930 and 1940 censuses and a 1955 directory; the filed 1958 notice; the 1926-57 Long Beach Polk directories via tish-maloney.md section 6 (research note). The tree's "1024 Hoffman Avenue" is a misreading of the notice's "1026" (checked at 12-16x on 4 Oct 2026).

Find a Grave 163071151 (research note); not in the filed notice.

The notice (LA Times, Friday 17 Jan 1958); the days are that week's (inference).

Two records eleven years and fifty years apart.
