Biography* Catherine Nolan Glancy Keenan, 1836-1918:
Catherine immigrated, with her parents, to the United States when she was one-or-two-years old. The family lived first in Massachusetts for about three years, then Buffalo, New York for a few years before finally settling in McHenry County, Illinois circa 1845. In 1850, the family was living in Harltand township. In 1862, Catherine married James Glancy (or Clancy). James died in 1864 and in 1869, Catherine was married for a second time to widower Peter Keenan at Saint Joseph's in Harvard, McHenry County by the Rev. Dominick Egan, Pastor of Saint Stephen's in Chicago, before sibling witnesses Peter Nolan and Margaret Nolan Boodle. Catherine and Peter had a pre-nuptial agreement wherein Peter agreed to support both of her livig children by James Clancy to full age as long as they remained with him. In return, Catherine was to pay Peter $100 per year per child. (wonder if the pre-nup had a provision for the money she woud recieve for taking care of Peter's children by his previous marriage? Guess not.)

In 1875, Peter sued wife Catherine in McHenry County Probate Court for six-years worth of support plus taxes paid on the children's property inherited from their father's estate. The property consisted of 160 acres of land in Section 24 of Town 101 North of Range 22 (Nunda township) in Freeborn County, Minnesota valued at $1000. The court rejected the suit. Catherine and Peter had four children of their own: Thomas, William, Catherine and Margaret. The family lived in Woodstock, McHenry County until June 1874 when they moved to Freeborn County, Minnesota and settled in Nunda Township. By 1893, they had moved to Chicago, Illinois and were living at 898 Clifton Avenue. In 1914 they were living at 3343 Clifton Avenue.

Catherine died on a Friday at age 83. Her funeral was held on Monday from Saint Sebastian's church.
