Having secured a position with the Mansfield Advertiser, he removed to Mansfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania ; two years later he went to Cuba, New York, where he worked for one year on the Herald. Two years were then spent at Elmira, New York, with the Gazette, and a few months, in 1879, in New York City. In 1882 he took a position on the Reporter, of Port Allegany, Pennsylvania. From 1884 to 1889 he was in Smethport, first on the Dem- ocrat, afterward on the Miner.

One of Bradford's best known DEVINE 'and most highly respected citi- zens was the late William Fran- cis Devine, for many years the proprietor of a popular and admirably conducted hotel and

ALLEGHENY VALLEY

in his youth a brave soldier in the Union army. Mr. Devine was of Irish ancestry, a stock which has given to the United States many of her best and most useful citizens.

(I) Thomas Devine, father of William Francis Devine, was born in Ireland, emigrated to the United States and became a merchant tailor in Pittsburgh, where he passed the re- mainder of his life. He married Mary Gilner, who was like himself a native of Ireland, and died in Pittsburgh several years after the de -. cease of her husband in that city. Of the thir- teen children born to them the following grew to maturity : I. Margaret, born in Ireland, married John Feneran, of the same country, now of Baltimore, and had three children: Jolın, deceased ; Lauretta, of Philadelphia, and Mayne, of Baltimore. 2. Mary Ann, born in Pittsburgh, died there unmarried. 3. Martha, born in Pittsburgh, is unmarried and lives in Chicago. 4. William Francis, of whom fur- ther. 5. Jennie, married Edward Cassidy, a bridge builder of Pittsburgh, and died there as did her husband, leaving two children, Mer- cedes and Edward, both of Chicago. 6. Ella, now lives in Pittsburgh, widow of Anthony Urban, who was a druggist in Chicago and died there, leaving five children: Ella, Stella, Antoinette, Graham, all of Chicago, and one who died young. 7. Thomas, unmarried, in business in Butler county, Pennsylvania. 8. James, died unmarried in Pittsburgh, in which city all these eight children, with the exception of the eldest, were born.

(II) William Francis, son of Thomas and Mary (Gilner) Devine, was born March 12, 1845, in Pittsburgh, where he received his edu- cation in the public schools, afterward find- ing employment as a puddler in his native city. While still hardly more than a boy the course of his life was changed by the outbreak of the civil war, for he was quick to feel the military ardor which inspired so many youths of that stirring period. In 1861, being then but sixteen years old, he enlisted from Pittsburgh in Colonel Black's regiment and served through- out the entire four years of the war. His regi- ment did gallant service in the hottest of the fight at Gettysburg and also participated in many other important engagements. After the close of the war Mr. Devine went into the hotel business in Butler county, in what was known as the Bullion District, meeting with an encouraging measure of success. In 1879 he came to Bradford, where he became the pro-

prietor of one of the city's most prominent hotels, the prestige of which he steadily main- tained, both by his able and enterprising method of administration and by his personal popu- larity, continuing in this business until the close of his life. He belonged to Bradford Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and also to the Macca- bees, and like his father followed the standard of the Democratic party. He was a member of the Roman Catholic church.

Mr. Devine married, June 12, 1878, Sarah Louise Donahue (see Donahue III), and they became the parents of the following children : I. Edith, born September 10, 1880, in Butler county. Pennsylvania, married Clifford Bauer, of Bradford, owner of a planing mill in the west. 2. Ella, born December 15, 1882, in Bradford, married Jesse McFarland, foreman of a mill in Oil City, Pennsylvania, and they have four children : Louise, born September 12, 1899; William, born February 22, 1903; James, born November 22, 1906; and John, born 1910. 3. James Marshall, born Septem- ber 7, 1885, in Bradford, now the proprietor of a hotel in Clarksburg, West Virginia, mar- ried Alice Lowe, of Bradford.

The death of Mr. Devine, which occurred March 12, 1898, his fifty-third birthday, was a distinct loss to Bradford, removing as it did one of her most useful and popular citizens, a man of whom it may be truly said that he was loved by his family and friends and sincerely respected by the entire community.
