1848, Belfast Academy Grant (Ludlow ME); baptized 30 March 1848, St Mary's RCCh, Houlton ME
"From the Marshall County Historical Society compiled by Jack & Josie Haggerty in 1979: Frank Haggerty was born in Belfast Academy Grant, now Ludlow ME, near Houlton ME. His parents were born in Co Donegal, Ireland and later came to ME USA. He met and married Catherine Abernathy, 1850-1927. Catherine was born in Woodstock NB Canada on March 19, 1850. When she was six yesrs old, she moved with her parents to Houlton ME where she grew to womanhood. She was of English decent. In 1881 Catherine and Frank moved west to Stillwater, MN where they settled on a farm. In 1883 they moved to Traverse County where they settled on a another farm near Beardsley, MN (land records state, that Frank on 19 January 1884 owned 160 acres of "homestead" in what is now Section 29 of Arthur Township.
From a fellow internet'er: "This section (#29) is in the far western central corner of MN. It is in Traverse County, Arthur Township. Section 29 is about 4 miles east of the town of Browns Valley (pop 804) which is on the continental devide i.e. both the Minnesota and Red Rivers start here, one to the Gulf of Mexico and the other to Hudson Bay. I've never been out there but I think that its about as flat as it can get. The NW portion of Section 29 is now part of a "Waterfown Area."
Around the year 1893, Frank left Catherine and their five children and moved to Bemidji, MN where he worked in a lumber camp. It is believed that he died there (date unknown). Catherine loaded her possessions and her five children into a lumber wagon and moved to Sisseton, SD where Catherine became the proprietor of a hotel. This hotel was mostly a boarding house for men. In the year 1897 she sold that hotel and erected a new building where she operated a first class hotel. called the Commercial Hotel, and enjoyed a large patronage. The Commercial Hotel was a beautiful building that was surrounded by a pillared porch. This is where she remained until she died on July 8, 1927. Catherine is buried in Beardsley, MN, St Mary's Cemetery. Her tombstone is located about fifteen feet directly from the front gate. According to newspaper clippings sent from Dorothy Haggerty/Jensen, Catherine Haggerty died at the home of her daughters, Mesdames Holland and Pearson, ten miles west of Sisseton. Dorothy Haggerty/Jensen has corrected that information with the following "I remember my grandmother's death at our farm out of Sisseton. We kids always said our prayers at Grandma's lap and I remember her asking us to pray for her death the night or so before she died. I also recall how I felt. This was such a terrible request. I was only about 61/2 years old". The funeral services were held at the home of her daughter, Mrs Maud Pearson in Drywood Lake Township and at the Catholic church in Beardsley, Minnesota to which place the remains were taken and buried in the family lot in Beardsley cemetery. The article refers to her as ""a woman with a heart of gold, her generosity knew no bounds and she never turned a deaf ear to the needy and afflicted"".
Taken from the Browns Valley paper: "100 years ago, May 16, 1889 - Frank Haggerty and Thos Crawford, of Arthur, went to Fergus Falls last week to attend a land contest trial, in which Frank has contested a tree claim"
"Their 7 children listed chronologically were, John, Maud, Alice, Francis Leo (Frank), Clara, Mary (died January 5, 1880-4 days old) and Peter (died November 21, 1883 at age of 7 months)
