Butte Irish-American organisational life — Hibernians, Gaelic League, Erin's Daughters, RELA

129 sources.

Umbrella thread for the Butte Irish-American institutional landscape 1907-1924. The AOH (Divisions 1, 2, 3 + ladies' auxiliary as the Daughters of Erin / Erin's Daughters); the Gaelic League (founded Butte January 1907, James P. Moriarty president 1907-08, John C. Murphy by July 1912); the Robert Emmet Literary Association (RELA, John H. O'Meara president 1914); the United Irish Societies of Butte (umbrella body documented by 1912); the Centerville Young Men's Club (founded October 1908 by Miss Anna M. Sullivan and J. K. O'Rourke, with ACM's John Gillie donating the Mountain Con compressor building as the clubhouse); the Friends of Irish Freedom (FOIF, 1916+); the various Bond Drives for the Irish Republic (1920+). Structural recurring figures: JJM-Centerville (county AOH president 1912-on); James Cummins (state AOH president 1912-on); Judge Jeremiah J. Lynch; Charles H. Gallagher; Patrick Lyne; Mamie Lenahan (L.A.A.O.H. state secretary 1912-on); Norah Sullivan (Daughters of Erin / Gaelic League continuity); John J. O'Meara (state Hibernian president pre-1912); P. J. Brophy (soliciting-committee fixture). The book chapter on Butte Irish-American civic life pivots on this thread.
