THE BRENNAN FAMILY
Page 25-26

HUBERT BRENNAN was b. in Savagh, Co. Roscommon, Ireland, March 20, 1823. He came
to America in 1845, and for a time worked at his trade of marble workig in
Lowell, where he remained until the 5th of September 1851, when he removed to
Peterborough, in response to a call for a competent marble-worker. He has 
continued to reside here since, and has built up the "marble works" alluded to
elsewhere. He has proved an enterprising and useful citizen, and done much toward
the prosperity and advancement of our village. He m. July 29, 1850, Mary
Mahoney, b. in Callau Co. Kilkenny, March 13, 1824, and emigrated to America,
1849, 1850.  Mr. and Mrs. Brennan visited the places of their birth in 1875,
and were fortunate enough to be present at the grand demonstration of the
O'Connell Centenary at Dublin, Aug 5.  They travelled extensively through all
Ireland; and Mr. Brennan, in describing the present condition of the country,
says: "Where thirty years ago were thriving little villages and hamlets, now
in many instances not a vestige of them is to be found; and the country
generally shows a fearful example of depopulation, and a lack of the brains and
muscle that have helped very largely to make America what she is."
