Biography* James Patrick Begley, 1878-1949:
According to his civil birth record, James was born on 1 June 1878 which seems an unlikely date since the Shandrum parish church recorded his christening as the 19th of May! James christening sponsors were Timothy O'Callaghan and Mary Fream. He immigrated to the United States in 1888 with his parents. In 1910, James was living with his parents at 2811 North 23rd Street in St Louis' 18th ward and working as a patternmaker at a foundry. In 1918, he was living at 3100 North Taylor, was a naturalized citizen, and was working as a pattern fitter for the Buck Stove & Range Co at 3500 North 2nd. He was of medium height and build with blue eyes and black hair. In 1920, he was living with his mother on Taylor Avenue in the 22nd ward and working as a pattern maker for a stove & range company. In 1930, he and wife Julia were renting for $30/month at 205 East Sixth Street in Metropolis City, Massac County, Illinois. James was working as a pattern filer at a stove plant. He and Julia had no issue. By 1946, they had returned to Saint Louis and were living at 5952a Theodosia. James was retired.

James, 70, died at St Louis City hosp #1 on a Monday of lung cancer.He was survived by his wife Julia and his sister Hannah. James funeral was held on Wednesday the 9th of February from Notre Dame de Lourdes church.

Biography* Hannah Begley, 1879-1984:
Hannah consistently under-reported her age: on her application for citizenship; when applying for a job teaching adult education and; in her application for a Social Security Number. The Shandrum church records list her christening date as 19 October 1879 while Ireland civil birth records list her birthdate as 6 November 1879. Hannah routinely gave her birthdate as 18 October 1888. The day and month Hannah quoted are reasonable and probably correct. The year she gave, however, 1888, was the year she immigrated - a birth of sorts! A new country, a new life, why not a new birthyear?

Hannah's christening sponsors were John Bowls and Kate Begley. Hannah told younger family members that she stayed with some cousins named Downey when she first came over (to St Louis? or to the States?). Hannah's sister Nora claimed that she, Nora, at least, visited a relative in Johnstown, Pennsylvania upon arrival in the States. A search of 1900 census records found no Ireland born Downeys within 35-miles of Johnstown. In 1910, Hannah was living with her parents at 2811 North 23rd Street in St Louis' 18th ward. She was 5 feet 4½ inches tall, weighed 120 pounds, had blue eyes, black hair and fair complexion. Hannah was a milliner (hat maker) and sold hats for Famous-Barr department store in Saint Louis. She was living with her mother on Taylor Avenue in 1920 and with her sister and brother-in-law at 6458 Lloyd Avenue in 1930.

Hannah, 104 (she would have said 95), died on a Tuesday at the St. Anne Home, 12349 DePaul Drive, Bridgeton. Her funeral was held from there on Friday.

Biography* Patrick Cody, 1830-1903:
Patrick "Paddy" Cody was born in the church parish of Mullinahone, County Tipperary. His parents lived in the townland of Poulacapple which is on the County Kilkenny border, very near Callan in County Kilkenny. When a young man, Paddy and his brother John, went to Australia to seek their fortune in the gold fields. Very successful, they returned to Ireland in the 1860s. Paddy remained in Ireland, while brother John went back to Australia.

Paddy liked fast horses, women and the drink. He frequently visited the fairs where horse racing was a popular pastime. At one of these fairs he met Michael Hanley of Cronavone.6 Michael had an eligible daughter, Mary Hanley, who was Paddy's junior by eighteen years. In 1867, Paddy was married to Miss Mary Hanley in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Ileigh by the Rev. Patrick J. Morris. The marriage was witnessed by James Cody (Paddy had no known brother named James. Was this the same James Cody that witnessed the deed transfer descibed in the next paragraph?) and Bessie Delaney (Mary's cousin?).7

The month before his marriage, on the 6th of February 1867, Paddy purchased the 188-acre Clonely townland in Clogher civil parish, County Tipperary from the estate of Nason Crone for 1,100£ (one thousand one hundred pounds). He also assumed a mortgage for 1,500£ (one thousand five hundred pounds) and a judgement-debt of 200£ (two hundred pounds). A James Cody, an uncle perhaps?, of Gurteen witnessed the deed transfer. The following footnote contains a transcription of the deed.8

The townland, divided into six lots at the time, had rated houses9 on four of the six lots. Paddy and Mary occupied the largest of these houses, an eight room stone house, with nine windows in the front, on 78+ acres. This estate was called Annesgrove. The house, which no longer exists, was probably built early in the seventeenth century. The other three houses and the remaining acreage were sub-leased to four tenants - Paddy was a landlord!

Paddy and Mary had fifteen known children. All were christened in the Catholic parish of Clonoulty, either in the church in Clonoulty, a few miles from Annesgrove, or in the chapel in Rossmore, which was a bit closer. By 1901, the six oldest were not living at home nor even in Ireland. One was in Australia, one in England and the rest in the USA. Paddy spoke the Irish language as well as English, although English was spoken in the home. Neither Mary nor any of the children spoke Irish.

Although Annesgrove was in Clonoulty church parish, the family attended mass at the chapel in Drumbane because it was closer to home. The Drumbane chapel is in the church parish of Upperchurch. In 1879, the Land League was formed to protect renters from mean, nasty landlords. Whether Paddy deserved that label or not, he was at least guilty by association. Since his tenants also attended the Drumbane church, they were in a position to make his presence there very uncomfortable. Apparently they did because eventually, Paddy attended mass in the Rossmore church in his own parish.

By 1903, Paddy had leased an additional 224+ acres. However, even this unusually large holding could not support his lifestyle. He was heavily in debt and unable to meet his obligations. The landlord, Wm. P. Hanley,10 foreclosed on Paddy and forced the sale of his holdings. The amount realized from the sale did not cover Paddy's debts.

On Saturday 11 April 1903, Paddy was returning home in a 3rd class compartment of the 3:40 p.m. train from Clonmel to Thurles. Paddy died on the train somewhere between Clonmel and Fethard. His body was removed from the train at Fethard. In his pockets were found a few coppers and a loaded revolver. An inquest was held by Coroner Ed Cummins, JP before a jury of fifteen in the Fethard train station.11 After testimony from the local doctor, Thomas O'Connell, and three of the passengers, the jury ruled that death was due to natural causes - either syncope or heart failure. After the inquest, Paddy's body was removed to the Fethard church. Services were held there on Monday morning after which the body was transported to Callan for burial in the family plot in Kilbride. Paddy's parents had lived in Mullinahone church parish since at least 1824. The Kilbride cemetery is in Callan parish in County Kilkenny.

Biography* Mary Hanley Cody, 1848-1923:
Mary was proably born on the Hanley home farm in Reisk townland in the civil parish of Upperchurch. She was christened on 22 January 1848 at Kilcommon, County Tipperary. Sometime between April 1852 and March 1854, the family moved to Cronavone townland in the civil parish of Glenkeen. She grew up in Cronavone and was married in 1867 at age 19. After her marriage, she went to live with her husband at Annsgrove in Clonoulty parish.

We're not sure how many children Mary bore. From studying church and civil records, we can be pretty sure there were at least fifteen. The newspaper article reporting her husband Paddy's death states that he was "the father of sixteen children." This is in contrast with a document in Paddy's probate file, dated almost a month later, which states there were a total of thirteen children - seven of which are age-21-years-or-older and six of which are minors. This later number, thirteen, agrees with the children we know to have been alive at the time. If the number born was sixteen, then there is one child for whom we have no record. This sixteenth child would most likely have been born between Cornelius and Patrick, or between Joseph and Johanna. Or after the child we currently believe to be the last, Patrick. This youngest known child of Patrick Cody and Mary Hanley told his own children that he was one of eighteen!

After husband Paddy died in April 1903, the family was evicted from Annesgrove. Mary and the children went back to the Hanley home farm in Cronavone, probably in May but certainly by June. One thing they brought with them from Annesgrove was the front gate. It was still hanging, in March 1999, at the entrance to the farm in Cronavone.

Mary arranged to immigrate to the U.S.A. under the sponsorship of her son Michael who was a fireman in Saint Louis, Missouri. That November, Mary's nephew Thomas Hanley, age 14, took her and six of her children - James, Hanora, Bridget, Cornelius, Joseph, and Richard - by horse and cart to the train station in Templemore. From there, they rode the train to Cobh (called Queenstown at the time) in County Cork. On 29 November 1903, they boarded the Canard steamship Campania6 and arrived at the Port of New York on 5 December 1903. The ship was captained by J. B. Watt, Master.

Mary with the five youngest in tow (son James was listed and processed separately), disembarked with $64 in her purse plus paid tickets to Saint Louis, Missori. There she planned to join her son Michael Cody at 2430 Howard Street. They were detained for special inquiry upon arrival but were admitted to the United States on the same day. The reason given for the detention was "L.P.C." Thirty-six passengers on this voyage were detained for the same reason. All were admitted. The last on December 8th.

In Saint Louis, Mary lived first with son Michael. By 1909, she had a separate household at 3665 Laclede. The younger children lived with her. By 1914, she had moved to 3676A Laclede. By 1916, to 4525A San Francisco. And by 1918, she was living with her son Thomas at 3021A N Taylor Avenue. By 1923, Mary was living with her daughter Statia Scully at 6276 Famous Ave.

The only other Hanley family member known to have emigrated to the U.S.A. was Pius Hanley, Mary's first-cousin-once-removed, the son of her first cousin Michael Hanley. Pius was a trappist priest that lived in the New Melleray monastery in Dubuque, Iowa.

On Thursday, 13 September 1923 at 7:15 a.m., Mary was struck and killed by a Frisco passenger train at Clifton Avenue. She was crossing the tracks while returning home from daily mass at Saint James Church, Tamm and Nashville Avenues. It was 20 years, 5 months and 2 days after her husband Patrick Cody died on the train from Clonmel to Thurles. She was survived by five sons, and four daughters. Mary's funeral was held from St. James church on Saturday.

  6. The Campania was a 12,950 gross ton ship, built by Fairfield Co Ltd, Glasgow in 1892 for the Cunard Steamship Co. Her details were - length 601 feet x beam 65.2 feet, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 21 knots. There was accommodation for 600-1st class, 400-2nd class and 1,000-3rd class passengers. Launched on 8 September 1892, she sailed from Liverpool on 22 April 1893 on her maiden voyage to Queenstown (Cobh) and New York. In May 1893 she made a record passage from Sandy Hook to Queenstown of 5 days 17 hours 27 mins, and in August 1894 made a record westbound passage of 5 days, 9 hours, 29 minutes. She commenced her last Liverpool - New York voyage on 25 April 1914 and made 250 round voyages on this service. On 23 May 1914 she started her first Glasgow - New York voyage under charter to the Anchor Line and started her second and last sailing on this route on 20 June 1914. Returned to Cunard Line, she resumed Liverpool - New York sailings on 15 August 1914 in place of the Aquitania which had been taken up as an Armed Merchant Cruiser in the Great War. She made three round voyages, the last starting 26 September 1914 and was then sold to shipbreakers. Resold to the British Admiralty, she was converted to an aircraft carrier and on 5 November 1918 was sunk in collision with HMS REVENGE in the Firth of Forth. [North Atlantic Seaway by N. R. P.

Biography* Thomas Joseph Cody, 1876-1938:
Believed to have been the sixth born and fourth son. Probably named after mother's brother. Thomas was christened at Clonoulty on 27 September 1876 probably on the day he was born. As with four of his siblings, the date of Thomas' christening in the church record precedes his birth date in the civil record of 20 October 1876. The birth date recorded in his death certificate, 27 September 1880, suggests that the day and month in the christening record are correct and that those in the civil record are not (correct). He himself reported his birthday and month as 27 September 1878 in his World War 1 draft registration. Thomas' christening sponsors were Michael Ryan & Johanna Ryan.

He emigrated Ireland in 1899, boarding the Lucania10 in Cobh (Queenstown), County Cork and arriving at the Port of New York on 27 May 1899. He came directly to Saint Louis, Missouri where he joined his brother Michael at 4139 Louisiana Avenue. Thomas immediately applied for United States citizenship which was granted on 7 March 1901 in Saint Louis Circuit Court.11

Thomas worked as a clerk in 1902 and was living at 2730 Howard with brother Michael. Thomas joined the Saint Louis Fire Department in 1906 and was assigned to Engine Company Number 6. In the same year he was married to Mary Begley at St. Michael's by the Rev. M. J. McCabe. In 1909, he was stationed at 1545 North 8th and was living at 2323 St Louis. In 1910, he was stationed at 4151 Kennerly Avenue. Sometime in 1910, Thomas moved to 1808 Bacon Street, same address as brother James. In 1914, he was stationed at 4571 Easton Avenue and was renting at 3021-A Taylor Avenue. In December 1916, Thomas was promoted to lieutenant and was transferred to Engine Company Number 54. In 1917, he was stationed at 12 South Jefferson. In 12 September 1918, Thomas registered for the WWI draft. He was described as being tall, of medium build with blue eyes and light brown hair. In October 1922, he was promoted again, to Captain, at a salary of $2,520 per year. By 1923, Thomas was living at 6276 Famous Avenue. By 1930, he was renting (a duplex), for $42/month, at 4006A Newstead Avenue. Thomas was seriously injured several times while on duty. By 1935, he was living at 4464A Margaretta Avenue. He was appointed Eleventh District Chief on 8 June 1938 at a salary of $3,420 per year. His headquarters were at Engine House Number 47, 5214-16 West Florissant Avenue.

Thomas, 61, died at St. John's Hospital of pneumonia on a Saturday night after a brief illness. Cause of death was chronic myocarditis. The funeral was held on Wednesday from Holy Rosary Church, 3921 Clarence Avenue. The Stroot & Carroll funeral home, 4600 Natural Bridge Avenue, was in charge of arrangements.

  11. There's something wrong here. In order to meet the legal requirements for acquiring citizenship on 7 March 1901, Thomas would have had to arrive in the U.S.A. by 7 March 1896 and have declared his intention to become a citizen by 7 March 1898! If he met all the legal requirements, his arrival in 1899 must not have been his first. In the 1920 census, his immigration is listed as 1894.

Biography* Michael Joseph Cody, 1871-1939:
Believed to have been the second born. Probably named after his mother's father. There is no civil birth record for Michael. He was christened on 3 May 1869 at Clonoulty, County Tipperary. Sponsors were Edmund Cody and Mgt Delaney. Michael's father Patrick had an older brother christened Edmund (but usually listed as Edward) who emigrated to America circa 1849. The sponsor Edmond Cody was probably the neighbor Edmund Cody that lived over the hill in the next townland of Cloonyross. Is Mgt Delaney the grandmother of Michael, Mary Hanley's mother? Michael emigrated Ireland in 1894. He entered the United States at the Port of New York on 10 November 1894 on the ss Campania from Cobh, County Cork bound for Missouri. This is the same ship that his mother and siblings crossed the Atlantic on nine years later. He came directly to Saint Louis, Missouri settling in Saint James parish and applied for United States citizenship which was granted in 1899.

Michael was the first of the Patrick Cody/Mary Hanley offspring to immigrate to the U.S.A. We're pretty sure that Michael chose Saint Louis and St. James parish because his father's brother Edward lived there. Uncle Edward's son Benjamin, Michael's first cousin, was a witness to Michael's marriage to Johanna Broaders in 1898. There were no other family members on the Cody side that were known to have immigrated to anywhere in the U.S. Some family members on his mother's side, uncles of Mary Hanley, surname Delaney, are known to have come to the U.S.A. The Delaneys immigrated sixteen-or-more years before Michael Cody was born which is not to say that he didn't know about them.

In 1900, Michael and Johanna were renting at 4139 Louisiana Avenue in Saint Louis' 10th ward. His brother Thomas, who followed Michael to St. Louis, was living with them. Michael became a fireman for the Saint Louis Fire Department sometime around 1904. He was a member of Saint Louis Fireman's Association, Local No. 73. By 1910, Michael & Johanna had purchased, with mortgage, their home at 5056 Ridge Avenue in St Louis 26th ward. By 1920, they owned this home free of mortgage. By 1930, they owned a home at 5128 Highland Avenue in St Louis' 22nd ward.

Michael, 70, died on a Friday. He was survived by his wife, four daughters, and two sons. His funeral was held from Blessed Sacrament Church with his nephew John Cody officiating. Stuart & Sons Chapel, Union & Page Blvd, was in charge of arrangements.

Biography* Edmond J. Cody, 1874-1942:
Believed to have been the fifth born, Edmond was christened on 23 October 1874 at Clonoulty, County Tipperary. Thomas Dwyer was one of Edmond's sponsors and was possibly an uncle. (Edmond's mother Mary Hanley had a sister, Bridget, who was married to a Thomas Dwyer). As with four of his siblings, the date of Edmond's christening in the church record, 23 Oct 1874, precedes the birth date in the civil birth record. There is no other evidence to aid in resolving this discrepancy.

By 1901, Edmond was living in England. He was boarding with an England born schoolmaster and his wife, Peter and Margaret Keeley, and was working as a clerk for a cotton broker. The Keeley residence was at 2a Valley R'c, Liverpool, Walton-on-the-Hill, Lancashire. By the time of son Sidney's birth in 1902, Edmond and family lived at 69 Oak Leigh, West Derby, Lancashire. In 1907, the family lived at 192 Salisbury Road, Everton North. Edmond was working as a bookkeeper. He retired as a cashier from the Cotton Offices.

An article on brother Richard Cody lists "Edward" as a member of the British Army during the first world war. Later, according to family lore, Edmond and wife lived in the caretaker's home on the grounds of Jesuit Mount Holyoke in Liverpool, England. Later still, they moved to Cardiff in North Wales. Edmond visited brother Michael in Saint Louis in 1938, probably on the sad occasion of their brother Thomas' death. They had not seen each other in forty-five years.

Edmond, 67, died in Pantasaph on a Sunday. Cause of death was prostate cancer certified by G. L. Gamble . Edmond's widow Edith was informant on the death cert and was present when he died.

Biography* James F. Cody, 1879-1951:
Believed to have been the eighth born. Named after father's brother? or mother's brother? There is neither civil birth record nor christening record for James. He lists his birth date as 24 September 1882 on his 1907 Declaration of Intent to become an American citizen and on his World War 1 draft registration. If this be true, James was born between the second Mary (Sr. M. Ethelbert) and Honora (Sr. M. Mercy) - which is possible, given the normal gestation period of homo sapiens , i.e. - 9 months. However, in the only document we have which lists both himself and Mary - the 1901 census - James is listed as being three years older than Mary! If the month and day of birth are correct but the year is wrong, then he was born in 1879, the year recorded here.

James grew to a height of 5 feet-7 inches and weighed 156 pounds. He had fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes with no visible distinctive marks. When he came to the USA in 1903 on the same ship with his mother, the SS Compania, he was listed and processed separately. He had $32 in his pocket and his final destination was listed as Meadowbrook Hunt, Hempstead, Long Island there to join a friend named A. Brisbane. This destination was crossed-out and "Saint Louis, Missouri to meet his brother Michael" was written in. James worked as electrician, lineman, inspector, and troubleshooter. He lived at a number of places in St Louis. In 1907, he lived at 18 South Spring Street. In 1909, at 4213 Kennerly. Sometime in 1910, he moved to 1808 Bacon. In 1914, at 5101 Ridge. By 1916, he lived at 4525 St. Ferdinand, where he lived until at least 1920. By 1930, he and Elizabeth had bought a house at 5261 Terry (?) Ave in St Louis' 20th Ward.

James, 72, of 4957 Margaretta, died on a Thursday. He was survived by four sons, and five daughters. The funeral was held on the following Monday from Blessed Sacrament. Arrangements were made by Cullen and Kelly funeral home, 4386 Lindell Blvd.

Biography* Richard A. Cody, 1893-1954:
Believed to have been the fifteenth born. Named after someone in father's family? Richard was christened on 11 October 1893 at Rossmore (Clonoulty parish), County Tipperary. Christening sponsors were Thomas Dwyer and Margaret Dwyer. As with four of his siblings, the date of Richard's christening in the church record precedes his birth date in the civil record. A memorial card issued at the time of his death listed his birth date as 11 October 1893 - the date of his christening. This is also the date that he reported on his World War 1 draft registration. The youngest, of the fifteen known issue of Patrick Cody and Mary Hanley, Richard told his own children that he was one of eighteen.

Richard came to the U.S.A. in 1903 with his mother. By September 1917, He worked as a machinist for the Wagner Electric Company in Saint Louis and was a well known soccer player. Richard was 5 feet 8½ inches tall, with dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and fair complexion. He was inducted into the United States Army at St. Louis on 18 September 1917. Still a resident alien, he applied for citizenship at a special term of the Supreme Court of the State of New York held at New York City on 1 June 1918. United States citizenship was granted two days later on the 3rd of June and Richard sailed from the U.S. for foreign service the next day. He was assigned to F Company, 354th Infantry as a private. He returned to a U.S. port on 2 April 1919, was discharged at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky on 19 April 1919 and given train fare back to St. Louis.

According to reports in Saint Louis newspapers, Richard was severely gassed and burned on 10 August 1918, while in France. In the Missouri State Archives' Soldiers Database: War of 1812 - World War I (see ) Richard is listed as having been severely injured on 7 August 1918. However, according to his discharge papers, which he himself signed, he took part in no battles, engagements, skirmishes, nor expeditions and received no wounds while in the service.

In 1920, Richard was renting at 4010 Lincoln Avenue. In 1930, he was working as a mechanic at a dental laboratory and renting at 3734 Saint Louis Avenue. Later Richard lived at 5109 Lotus Avenue. By 1947, he was living at 443 North Dade Avenue in Ferguson. Richard was a member of VFW Post 324.

Richard, 60, died on a Sunday. He was survived by his wife, three sons, one daughter, and two sisters. His funeral was held the following Thursday from Holy Ghost Church in Berkeley, Missouri. John Stygar & Son Funeral Home, 5541 Riverview Blvd., was in charge of arrangements.

Biography* Anastasia "Stasia" Cody Scully, 1868-1941:
Anastasia is believed to have been the first born to Patrick Cody and Mary Hanley. She was probably named after her father's mother. (In research of this place and time, have encountered no one with the name Anastasia Hanley. Have seen a few with the name Anastasia Cody. Since given names tend to run in families because of prevelant naming patterns, it is most probable that she was named after a Cody.) Anastasia was christened on 16 March 1868 at Clonoulty, County Tipperary. Her uncle Cornelius Hanley was one of her sponsors.

According to family lore, Stasia was living with her uncle James Hanley in Cronavone when her mother and siblings left for the USA and Stasia herself did not emigrate until later. This is not entirely correct. Stasia arrived at the Port of New York on the Umbria7 from Queenstown, County Cork on 22 June 1897 - six-years before her mother. It's possible that Stasia did live with her uncle James, however. His first wife died in child birth in 1889, leaving behind a new-born and a three-year-old. It's certainly conceivable that Stasia went to Cronavone to help her uncle with the house and babies. James remarried in 1896 and Stasia left for the U.S. the following summer. The timing of her departure supports this scenario.

When she first arrived in the U.S.A., Stasia lived with her brother Michael at 5106 Wicklow Place in St Louis. After her mother arrived, Stasia lived with her. Stasia married Martin Scully in November of 1910. By 1920, Stasia had two children who were born in the state of New York nine years and more before her marriage. The children were probably adopted. They were not with Martin in 1910 when he was single and boarding with the Cody's.

Stasia, 72, died on a Thursday. She was survived by her husband, one son, one daughter, three sisters, and two brothers. Her funeral was held from St. James church. Cullen & Kelly Chapel, 1416 N. Taylor Avenue, was in charge of arrangements.

Biography* Margaret (Sister Mary Alberta) Cody, 1872-1956:
Believed to have been the fourth born although family lore lists her as the third born. Named after mother's mother. Margaret was christened on 28 August 1872 at Clonoulty, County Tipperary. As with four of her siblings, the date of Margaret's christening in the church record precedes her birth date in the civil record. According to records in the Sisters of Mercy archives, Margaret was born on 26 August 1872.

Her early education included Roskeen in 1886 and the Convent of Mercy, Borrisoleigh in 1890. Margaret left Ireland in 1892 and on 4 September, at age 20, entered the Convent of Mercy in Mobile, Alabama. Sr Alberta was probably recruited by Mother Mary Austin Carroll who was from Clonmel, County Tipperary originally and who convinced 83 young Irish women to join the Mobile community to serve the Alabama missionary diocese during the 9 years that she was the Superior. Sr Mary Alberta celebrated 50 years in the order on 7 July 1946. She had attended Springhill College in Mobile and was certified to teach elementary and junior high school. She subsequently taught at various schools in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida from 1895 until 1947, a span of 52 years.

Sister Alberta, 83, died on a Monday at Blessed Martin de Porres Hospital in Mobile.

Biography* [Cardinal] John Patrick Cody, 1907-1982:
John attended Most Holy Rosary Grade School. At an early age, he decided to become a priest and entered Saint Louis Preparatory Seminary graduating in 1926. John was sent to the North American College in Rome, Italy to complete his training. There he earned doctorates in theology and philosophy and was ordained a priest on 8 December 1931. After ordination, he was appointed vice rector of the North American College and then served as a staff member to the Vatican Secretariat of State. In 1938 he was recalled to St. Louis where he became secretary to Cardinal John J. Glennon. He was consecrated as an auxiliary bishop of St. Louis on 2 July 1947 by Cardinal Glennon's successor, Archbishop Joseph E. Ritter.

In 1954, he moved to what is now the Diocese of St. Joseph, Missouri, as coadjutor bishop with right of succession to Bishop Charles H. LeBlond. He took the reins as bishop when LeBlond retired in 1955 and a year later transferred to the newly formed Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph as coadjutor bishop to Edwin V. O'Hara. John became head of the diocese upon O'Hara's death in October 1956. In 1961, he was appointed coadjutor to Archbishop Rummel in New Orleans, Louisiana. Named Apostolic Administrator there in 1962, he became Archbishop upon the death of Rummel in 1964. In June 1965, John was named Archbishop of Chicago, the largest archdiocese in the United States with 2.5 million Catholics. Pope Paul VI elevated him to Cardinal on 26 June 1967. In December of 1981 he celebrated his 50th anniversary as a priest. He resided at 1555 North State Parkway, Chicago, Illinois.

John P. (Cardinal) Cody, 74, died on a Sunday of cardiac arrest, severe coronary artery disease, severe pulmonary hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. He was attended by Benjamin G. Lumicao (MD) of 250 East Superior Avenue, Chicago. His funeral was held on Thursday. Arrangements were made by Blake-Lamb of 1035 North Dearborn Street, Chicago.

Throughout his life as a priest, John P. (Cardinal) Cody enjoyed widespread support, admiration and praise from Popes and Vatican officials. He received these against a backdrop of turmoil and dissension that followed the Cardinal in his various assignments. In the light of the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s, the Cardinal was a traditionalist, a conservative - a dinosaur. He largely ignored the council's concepts of an open church to be guided by broad consultation and decision-making responsibility. The Cardinal followed the traditional hierarchy with strong centralized church authority. He was demanding and a micro-manager, an excellent fiscal manager, and ran a tight ship. The Cardinal forcefully upheld official church teachings and often spoke disapprovingly of liturgical and theological innovations. Not the kind of leadership that appealed to activists emboldened by Vatican II.

The Cardinal had a reputation as a tough administrator and a builder of schools but rarely as an activist on social issues. One notable exception was race integration. He oversaw the desegregation of Catholic schools in New Orleans in the early 1960s over heated opposition. The resulting confrontations led to the excommunication of three die-hard segregationists. When he reached Chicago, John found the Archdiocese in the center of liturgical reform, civil rights, labor movements, and family apostolates. Massively large parishes were headed by aging priests that acted as de facto bishops. By re-establishing church hierarchy and retiring aging pastors, John angered many priests. John introduced many benefits for both clergy and lay employees. He instituted health insurance plans for priests and retirements plans for all employees. Unfortunately, a shrinking priest corps and a dearth of new vocations forced the closure of parishes.

By 1966, his management style had so incensed his priests that they formed a union of sorts, the Association of Chicago Priests (ACP). John tried to cooperate with them in the beginning but eventually he came to view their ever increasing demands as a challenge to his authority. Eventually, all contact between him and the ACP was broken. John instituted reforms of his own, consistent with Vatican II, intended to address the shortage of priests. He continued to promote desegregation of parishes and schools and subsidized African-American and Hispanic parishes. His initiation of the Catholic Television Network of Chicago, CTN/C, demonstrated his vision but its eventual failure was blamed on his autocratic style. John's $3-million restoration of Holy Name Cathedral was a necessary outlay but the secrecy which shrouded the project fomented a rebellion among clergy and laity.

Then, in September 1981, The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the United States Attorney in Chicago had begun a grand jury investigation into anonymous allegations that Cardinal Cody had diverted up to $1 million in church funds to a childhood friend, a step-cousin named Helen (nee Dolan) Wilson. The Cardinal refused to comply with grand jury subpoenas for his personal financial records. He characterized the entire exercise as an attack on the church.

John Cardinal Cody died while the grand jury was still sitting. Outside of the grand jury's focus on financial matters, other improprieties had been alleged, also anonymously, including that he had an affair with his childhood friend. None of the allegations made against John Cardinal Cody were ever proven. No indictments were ever made.
