Lonergan, Thomas S., 408 East One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street, New York City, was born in Mitchelstown, Ireland, in the year 1864. He received his early educational training from the Christian Brothers in his native town and at St. Colman’s College, Fermoy. From early boyhood he exhibited tokens of more than ordinary talents. He was fond of books, particularly those on ancient and modern history, literature and biography. He is today probably one of the best read men in Anglo-Irish literature and Irish history in America; but he is by no means less informed on the history, literature and politics of his adopted country, for he is an American to the very backbone, and is proud of his citizenship. He came to America in 1883, and lost no time in becoming a full-fledged American citizen, immediately after which he affiliated himself with the Democratic party. He had only been a citizen two weeks when, during the presidential campaign of 1888, he was placed on the list of campaign speakers by the Democratic State Committee of New York. In the early nineties, he was an expert debater in the leading literary societies of New York. Previous to that, he was a member of the Young Men’s Congress of Boston. He is also a writer and lecturer of ability. His lectures on “Christian Education,” “The Golden Age of Ireland,” “Charles Carroll, of Carrollton,” “The American Stage,” “General Thomas Francis Meagher,” “Irishmen in the American Revolution,” “Jefferson and Lincoln,” “The Catholic Chapter in American History,” “The Irish Renaissance,” “St. Brendan, America’s First Discoverer,” “Christian Democracy,” “Wendell Phillips,” “Socialism and Individualism” and “Newfoundland and Her People,” are masterpieces. His eulogy on Leo XIII is a classic. Mr. Lonergan has been with the New York World for the past fifteen years, and is at present manager of the Bronx office. He possesses not only literary but executive abilities of a high order. During his residence in the Bronx he has made hosts of friends and is well liked by all with whom he comes in contact.
