Buffalo’s Southern Island: Part II
By Joseph Xavier Martin
Like most ethnic neighborhoods, there were
a few watering holes in South Buffalo that
served as front line positions, in the continuing political Tong Wars. Lads from differing
factions and clans would gather nightly, for
a few rounds, to talk over the happenings
of the day.
artificial boundaries, the lines are invisible,
yet powerful in the effects that they created. No ardent patriot ever identified more
strongly than we did, with the parish that
sheltered us. The local church was a modern
Fort Apache to which we turned, in times of
laughter, or through a veil of tears.
The saloons themselves are a smoky archipelago of warmth and companionship, in an
often difficult environment. Wielding the
scooper’s shovel all day and resenting the
fat-bellied foreman barking the orders were
things that needed a bit of easing at day’s
end. Thoughts of the icy foam and beaded
sweat of a tall schuper of beer were long
anticipated and much appreciated. Several
hours later, most of the lads made it home,
after a fashion. And herself, left home for
the evening, was not amused at the dubious
condition of the lads arriving at the kitchen
door. Sure, it was a hard night indeed spent
debating the issues of the day and the proper
solutions to them.
The kids in our neighborhood went to the
local Catholic Grammar School, St. John
the Evangelist. There, in addition to our
regular studies, we were instructed in the
perils of life and the damnation of sinners,
by a community of nuns from the Order of
the Sisters of Mercy.
As we grew older, you could see the mark of
the “creature” on some of the luckless souls.
They were headed down into the abyss, God
love them. Hard drinking was a problem
that we had all seen close up, in the large
families. We tried to be understanding, but
it was as if the mark of Cain blazed upon the
unfortunate. The stricken knew, on a visceral level, that they were doomed.
In most of South Buffalo, the side streets
are lined with large, old, two-story frame
dwellings. The different Catholic parishes
had established the lines of demarcation,
previously mentioned, that separated one
grouping of streets from another. Like most
pretty fair job with limited resources. We
weren’t allowed to “not do the work.” That
path led to fire and brimstone. The threat
was pretty intimidating to junior urchins
like us, with vividly active imaginations.
Many of the members of this order of Mercy,
were of Irish-American extraction. Guilt, as
a behavioral modifier was honed to a fine
science. To this day, I still have uncomfortable memories of threats and exhortations,
promising eternal damnation, for some minor offense or another.
The Diocesan parish priest was also a figure to be reckoned with. He was the unquestioned arbiter of the moral code that ruled
our daily lives. He was the top banana of
a tight-knit Catholic Community. If he put
the finger on you, you were in for it, good.
You could count upon a pretty fiery sermon,
the next Sunday at Mass, detailing the infraction. You also squirmed like hell in your
seat, praying that he wouldn’t name names.
It was a very real and much-feared threat.
The nuns were pretty much adjunct mothers and although inclined to be crotchety,
they cared about us. They looked after our
spiritual and physical well being. It wasn’t
unusual for them to step in quietly and help
with food and clothing, when one of us was
in need. They did this with the finesse of experienced diplomats, in a blue collar, ethnic
community that prided itself on accepting
charity from no one.
The nuns and priests loomed very large in
our young lives. They did care for us however and spent their own lives in relative
poverty, looking after other people’s children. They were special people. We withstood the occasional ruler across the knuckles and were better people for it.
Going to a Catholic grammar school was
like being raised by a churlish maiden aunt.
You spent all day with these women. Their
authority and concerns encompassed your
entire life. If they got wind of mischief or
bad habits after school, they were on you
like a detective the next day. No hardened
policeman ever perfected the third degree
like these women had. One way or another,
they managed to extract the details of the
offense from you. The call would then go
home to your parents, and things would be
decidedly unpleasant there as well.
Next to the religious community, in South
Buffalo, politics was the interest of choice.
It is a pervasive influence in our daily lives.
The elections and their results were topics
of conversation around many a kitchen table. Families chose sides, along clan lines,
and cheered on their faction with all the intensity of a hotly contested football game.
As far as education went, the nuns did a
You voted the way your father did, and his
father before him.
Among our crowd, many of us had an aging relative involved in what was popularly
called “The Game.” Mine was my father’s
brother, Edward. He was a storied and legendary ward politician, who carried the Republican banner in the democratic bastion
of South Buffalo for decades. Our Family
had been active in politics since before the
First World War, when everybody was a Republican.
“Manuch,” as he was called, looked the
part. His shoes were always shined and his
hat brushed. A crisp white shirt and a freshly pressed gray suit completed the image.
These are powerful icons in a community
that earned its living, for the most part, from
the sweat of its brow.
He had a working man’s respect for any job
that you got to use your brain, instead of
your back. He and my father Franny were
the sons of a waterfront scooper, one of
those hardy Micks who muscled grain on
Buffalo’s waterfront. Manuch took an interest in me as a youngster and tried to help me
along in what had become for us, a family
trade.
Manuch’s Uncle Willie had been a saloon
keeper, where most of the political meetings were held, and a New York State Senator. Willie had helped get him started in the
business and he was carrying on the tradition with me.

I found an article in the April
Irish Times that really hit
home with me.
This was my birthplace and
my history. It has many familiar place names and the name
of the hospital that I was born
in. My forbearers were the
Hillary’s and Fitzpatrick’s,
both families being residents
of the Southern Island.

She and I traveled far and

Father Baker’s and Limestone

She resided in an apartment in

The Building was owned by
my Grandfather, William
Henry Fitzpatrick, Sr. Being a
devout Catholic, she attended
mass at St Theresa’s Catholic
Church (where I was baptized)
and never missed a Novena,
Holy Day, Special Saint’s
Day, Holy week, etc. She was
my Grandmother’s sister, and
sister-in-law to William H.
Fitzpatrick. Born in 1872 in
Laurel, Indiana, she died in
the Spring of 1957. Until too
late, I never thought to ask her
about my family’s genealogy.
Lord, she knew it all, down to
the birth year and month of all
the Fitzpatrick’s and Hillary’s.
I still do not know where any
of them came from in Ireland,
but Irish they sure were!!
My Great Grandfather was
born in Ireland in 1828, and
with one known brother, emigrated from the famine to a
place called Buffalo on the
Eastern end of Lake Erie.
Both brothers were sailors
and worked the merchant
trade on the Great Lakes’ sailing vessels. Jeremiah married
Catherine Dolan in St Patrick’s Cathedral on Emslie
St. in 1853, and lived down
on the docks area in a duplex
with his brother William (who
later married Sarah Warren,
Born in NYC) down in the
water front area, an area riddled with crime, bars, sex, and
brothels!
As time went on they had 8
children. He became a dairy
farmer, and it was the work
of the boys to peddle the milk
each day with a hand cart. It
was hard work and oft remembered. Jerome and John were
the first of the sons to break
out of the milk business. Both
ended up in civil servant jobs,
John an officer of the Court,
and Jerome worked in Buffalo City Hall, positions from
which both retired.
William H., my grandfather ,
took a different route to great
success.
Born in 1865, he too peddled
milk for some years, in order
to make a living. Not a job
he enjoyed (understatement!)
he moved on in two areas of
South Buffalo. In developing
his career, he became a building contractor, and obtained
great success, affluence and
respect as he built a substantial income.
He married Clara Hillary
from the old neighborhood at
Oak and Swan, and her sister,
Mary Ellen lived with them
as they bore and raised some
8 children, half of whom died
very young. But I stray. The
contracting business was very
successful, with William H.
Fitzpatrick and Sons building
almost all the two story homes
and duplexes between Seneca
St (where he eventually built
his own home on a corner of
Seneca St.) and Abbott Rd.
His sons William H. Jr. (1894)
and Paul Early (1896) eventually joined him in the business. Like many of the Irish
in those days, he was pulling
himself up by the boot straps.
The Hillary’s were prominent
in Dunkirk, NY when that city
was believed to be the end of
the Erie Canal, and the booming East/West construction
of the Railroad would meet.
It didn’t happen. All the Hillary’s left Dunkirk and moved
to Buffalo, where one of the
next generation became a City
Court Judge and an associate
of William H. Fitzpatrick.
But William H. was not to be
confined to home building. In
the late 1890s he began a political career in (of course) the
Democratic Party. Respected
and successful, not to mention
generous, he moved up in the
party structure into ever more
responsible positions (more
powerful). By the 1910’s he
was appointed Chairman of
the Railroad Crossing Commission.
The City was growing and
streets and railroad tracks
came into conflict and it was
the Commission’s job to improve the situation raising all
the tracks up over the roads
onto bridges, some of which
still remain today, In downtown Buffalo - Clinton St.
Genesee St. Williams St., etc.
One bridge I will always
remember is the long steel
Best wishes,
W. Dan Fitzpatrick
bridge that crosses the railroad
switching yards at Union Rd.
The Commission, which William H. Fitzpatrick chaired,
became very powerful and
much appreciated by the citizens as it revised the transportation system in downtown
Buffalo.
As a result of this and undoubtedly many other factors, he became Chairman of
the Erie County Democratic
Party, a position he held into
the 1920’s. The death of his
cherished 25 year old daughter of lipstick poisoning, and
two years later, his wife Clara,
caused him to reduce his active life, and his sons Paul and
William were taking over the
construction business.
But during his active years
as Chair of the Erie County
Democratic Party, he was the
most powerful man in Western New York. Democrats,
mostly Irish, controlled the
City of Buffalo and the Erie
County Governments. As the
records show, he was powerful but generous with both his
power and his money. Anyone
in need would only have to
ask William H. for help and he
would give it. If the rent was
due and the tenant could not
pay it, he was known to write
off the payment. (But these
things are known to become
embellished over the years!)
I guess my point is that Will
Fitzpatrick, prior to his death
in 1932, impacted many Irish
families from the First Ward
with homes to live in, jobs
(Irish tradition!) to support
families, loans or gifts to
families in need, and to hold
off opposing parties who did
not value human dignity. He
was also a power player in
New York State politics, supporting candidates, including
candidates for governor.
His father died March 4, 1904.
In reviewing his obituary, The
press was far more vociferous
in praising the son, and all the
important people who came
from Washington and New
York for the funeral, than eulogizing his Father!! His own
obituary, upon his death Jan
8 1932, filled many columns,
and much history of Buffalo
and its Irish people.
This has gotten much longer
then I had intended - mostly
due to my genealogy research
over the past 35 years. At
some time during his later life
a portrait was painted of him
and, I believe, was generously
replicated!
I have one of the only remaining 2 x 3’ framed copies of his
portrait.
Running with Buffalo is

Frills Buffalo
The thrill of post-college possibilities. The
loyalty of childhood friendship. The pain of
necessary transitions, and unexpected answers
that could ease a life of uncertainty. These are
some of the elements explored in Michael
Farrell’s first novel, Running with Buffalo,
released by No Frills Buffalo.
Hayley
Tiarna
Region
The Buffalo-set story’s narrative is delivered
by Joseph Cahan, a 2001 college graduate who
wants to thrive aside his Irish family and lifelong friends who live for football, stout and
Fender solos. Full of expectations and idealism
fueled by rock music lyrics, Joseph’s goal in
life is to become a writer who documents the
hilarious and exciting adventures of his postcollege life. But, in the months that follow his
graduation, dooming complacency, lack of
professional opportunity and lingering love
alter his path. Delivered as a humorous and
heartfelt testimonial about life’s fearsome
complexities, unanticipated changes and the
simple truths that could quell the intensity of it
all, Running with Buffalo is about the uneven
search to find a place to call home — and the
simple answers that could sooth the journey.

Eclectic Revival Rivals the Eclectic

Leonard Cohen, Mark Knofler, and even
a version of the Eagles’ Hotel California

Recently the Buffalo Irish Center has had
many new faces on the stage. There have
been some very enjoyable groups that
have been in there, along with the regular
assembly of bands we all know from the
area. One new group that made its U.S.
debut at the Buffalo Irish Center is Eclectic Revival. Emerging from the Brampton
and Hamilton areas of Ontario, Eclectic
Revival has introduced the BIC to a fresh
sound, concentrating on East Coast Celtic music, with a few non-Irish surprises
thrown in. The result is an upbeat, entertaining and lively show.
Eclectic Revival was unofficially formed
in 2005 by Chris Kerba, Nicholas Brodie,
and Kevin Buchan. The trio started practicing and playing around the area together, gathering quite the following. Kerba,
the rhythm guitar and bodhran player, has
been playing guitar and performing for
over twenty years. Brodie, it has been said,
has been a performer since birth. His natural ability to sing and entertain a crowd
from the moment he meets them can only
come from a lifetime of practice. Buchan,
the charismatic saxophone player, has
been playing all his life. The son of accomplished musicians, he brings a background of big-band and jazz to the group.
Three short years later, Chris Reed joined
as bassist. Reed, a musician since middle
school, met Brodie at, of all places, a Tim
Horton’s. Soon after, the band added fan
and drummer Rachel Kelly, a side drummer in the Pipes and Drums of the Lorne
Scots Peel Dufferin and Halton Regiment.
They’re also sociable and funny. They
have a side act of improvisation that gets
the audience involved and energized. Jokes
abound, banter splatters across the stage,
and, what appears to be chaos soon turns
into a medley of some really off-the-wall,
but familiar tunes. There’s also an “Ode
to Beer” with the humming of Amazing
Grace filtering in the background.
When asked about their new gigs here,

Eclectic Revival has performed at the Buffalo Irish Center twice to very enthusiastic
crowds. But this wasn’t Kerba’s first time
performing in Buffalo. A former member
of the Tartan Terrors, he was introduced
to the Buffalo Irish music scene at the
2011 Buffalo Irish Festival, which also
happened to coincide with a concert of his
favorite band, Great Big Sea, at Buffalo’s
Canalside. It was there he got his first taste
of the local music and what Buffalo has to
offer an “outsider” to the music scene.

Fenians Play Hard in
National Championships
Fenians Host Camp for
Young Players
By Conor Hawkins
After a thrilling season, twenty four players
from the Buffalo Fenians GFC made the
journey to Cleveland for the Nationals
Championship, and what a journey it
was. With us being the first match of the
championships with an 8am throw in, some
of the lads didn’t sleep too well Thursday
with the thoughts of the first game firmly on
their mind.
Well the nerves didn’t show one bit even
with playing on the Championship pitch. The
Fenians looked in control for the whole game
and only allowing 3 points to a decent Kansas
team. We had made it to day two with a 4 – 14
to 0- 03 win.
San Diego Setanta was our next opponents in
the semis, and we knew this was going to be
a hard-fought game after watching San Diego
make easy work of Houston and Syracuse
in the early rounds. San Diego started the
game better while our boys tried to come
to terms of their height and size and a much
smaller pitch. After going down by 4 points
the Fenians found their confidence and the
flowing passing that has made them a handful
for all teams this year, and eventually found
the goals with 2 superb goals by Joe Flynn
and John Reiser. The Fenians fought hard to
the end and came out victors by 4 points to a
very good team who played a lot of Irish lads
to our one.
Final day; with an 8am throw-in the lads
seemed rested and were ready to take the
battle to highly fancied St. Louis team that
seemed to be running up huge scores on the
teams they faced in the earlier rounds. After
the team talk we knew this was going to be
the last game of the season win or lose so we
had to leave it all out on the field. The lads
did fantastic and got a few early points to
ease the nerves and seemed to be in control
of the ball on the wet and slippery surface
of the championship pitch. The game was
getting physical as expected for a national
championship final and we lost Mike Brown
to a shoulder injury and Dave Geary to a back
injury during the first half. The lads ploughed
on and the substitutes played their part and
the Fenians took a 3 point lead into the
second half. With the second half under way
St Louis got a little stronger and came back
into the game and we knew this game could
off gone either way. St Louis caught us on
the break slipped a ball under Tom Finn with
just a few minutes left to take a 2 point lead
and which also turned out to be the last score
of the game. Congratulations to St Louis for
a well fought and played game and hopefully
we can get back there next year to try again.
2013 saw our club host our first Cul Camp.
The camp was attended by local children,
and also children visiting Buffalo from Co.
Derry via the Summer Relief Program. A
huge thank you to Steve Christie for kindly
helping out with our first camp. Steve came
out to speak with all our campers about the
importance of sport and exercise in life.
Also thanks to all our volunteers for helping make the camp a huge success. Hopefully we will see many campers back again
in 2014.
Many congratulations must go to
the players for a great tournament and many
thanks to the travelling support who made the
journey to cheer the team on.

Book Review:
Wilson House Presents 3
Fingal O’Reilly, Irish Doctor, Annual Burns Supper
by Patrick Taylor
It’s that time of year again. Mark January 25,
2014 on your calendar, because Celtic Cross
and the Wilson House Restaurant & Inn
have come together once again to present
one of the most fun and unique experiences
in Western New York: the Burns Supper (or
Burns v.3, if you like, as this is our third
annual event). This is a night to celebrate
the literary genius and Scotsman Robbie
Burns, and all things Scottish!
Review by Sheila Barrett
For those who have enjoyed the previous
seven Irish Country Series, Patrick Taylor
has given us another look into the life
of Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly, a General
Practitioner living in the Village of
Ballybucklebo, Northern Ireland in the
1950’s. Taylor begins this 403-page novel
by taking you to the breakfast table at
Number 1 Main Street where Fingal, now a
middle aged country doctor, is getting back
to work after a three week honeymoon with
his first love, Caitlin, “Kitty” O’Hallorhan.
Maureen “Kinky” Kincaid serves, and he
is soon joined by Doctor Jennifer “Jenny”
Bradley. Doctor Bradley is the temporary
replacement for the much loved Doctor
Barry Laverty, who has gone to Ballymena
to train in obstetrics.
The first event of the day, Lady MacNeill
falls from her horse and is taken to hospital
in Belfast. She is looked after by Sir Donald
Cromie. The meeting with his old friend
“Cromie” has Fingal recalling the days
in 1930’s Dublin when both men were
qualifying to become doctors and trying to
decide what field would be best for them.
Taylor interweaves the chapters with the
joys, woes and what ifs of 1930’s Dublin for
Fingal, his friends, family and patients with
the joys, woes, and what ifs of his life in
1950’s with the residents of Ballybucklebo.
You will have to read the book to find out
if the people of Ballybucklebo accept the
female doctor, who surprises Fingal by
getting married and whether Jenny Bradley
gets to stay or if Barry Laverty comes
back.
Even though you have not previously read
one of the books in the Irish Country Series,
you will have no trouble enjoying the
This year, we have added something new:
Scottish Country Dancing. Stephen Hay,
from Scotland, will be leading us all through
the dancing. This will be a new activity that
will add even more fun to an already fun
event. Other excitement includes the address
to the haggis, best “men in kilts” contest,
Burns poetry, address to the lads and lassies,
door prizes, bagpipers and music by Tom
Keefer and Celtic Cross.
You do not have wear a kilt or be Scottish
to attend (though kilts and plaid are
encouraged!). All you need to do is want to
have a fun evening. The fun starts at 5pm,
and tickets are $30.00 and can be purchased
from The Wilson House Restaurant (716)
751-9888. They accept credit cards and they
have rooms available if you’d like to spend
the night in beautiful Wilson, NY.
A Correction:
In the September edition of the Buffalo Irish Times, we reported that Tom
Lambert was the first WNY resident to hold a top-level position within the
Ancient Order of Hibernians. William J. Ryan was National Treasurer of the
AOH in 1935 and so he was the first WNY to hold such a position. The Lockport AOH Division 4 is now named in honor of William J. Ryan.
characters. Taylor’s cast of characters give
some insight to the lives of the people, rich
and poor, and their sometimes lighthearted
way of handling events. They will make
you laugh, cry or shake your head. His
description of places and events make you
feel like you are there. Taylor, who hails
from Bangor in County Down, describes
customs and uses the vernacular of the
people. If you are not sure of the meaning
of a word or phrase, there is a glossary to
look them up, and should you want to know
what makes up a dish that Kinky has served,
recipes are provided.

218 Abbott Road (accross from the Irish Center)
A Father, Daughter, Son and Seamus Heaney Connection
By Mary McGrath Klier
It was a chilly rainy October day last year. My
son Bob called from California. It is always a
bright spot to hear from him but much more so
now when he was undergoing chemotherapy.
He was home from work with a cold.
We shared our latest news and I told him I
was especially excited to be going to his alma
mater, Canisius College to hear Nobel laureate
poet Seamus Heaney that evening.
Knowing that parking can be challenging and
the reading was free and open to the public,
I left early. After finding a parking place, I
found I was fifteenth in line waiting outside
the Montante Center.
When the doors were opened to the beautiful
former St. Vincent de Paul Church, I found the
center section was actually reserved for ticket
holders. I took a seat in the front row on the
right hand side. Somehow I felt compelled to
move to the front row on the left side. It was
meant to be.
To the delight of the audience Seamus Heaney
burst onto the stage during his introduction by
Canisius English Professor Mick Cochrane.
His wit carried this off splendidly.
As I worked my way through the crowd to
the front left exit of the former church, there
was Joseph Hassett who endowed the lecture
carefully guiding Seamus Heaney himself to
a waiting vehicle. Do I dare approach? Yes, it
was meant to be.
The readings were wonderful and his
explanations of the circumstances surrounding
each poem were touching.
It was dark but the rain had stopped. I was
fumbling through my purse for my cameras I
followed behind them. No one else was in sight.
During the question and answer period, someone
asked if he would be so kind in conclusion to
read her favorite poem, Postscript, which had
not been part of the readings. He agreed and
stated it was also one of his favorites.
Postscript takes place in County Clare in
September and October according to the poet,
and that is the county my father emigrated
from. It was meant to be.
Just as they reached the vehicle, I stepped up
and asked if I could take his picture for my son
and told him Postscript was so meaningful
as my father was from Clare. He was most
gracious and gave me a big Irish grin. The
picture, the poem and how it came about were
on the way to California the next day hoping to
brighten my English Major son’s day.
When Seamus Heaney concluded, an
announcement was made that refreshments
and books would be available. I decided to
pass and head for my Boston Hills home.
I felt the luck of the Irish connecting my son,
my father and myself with Ireland’s best know
poet making it a grand day. One year later it
remains even more special, as Seamus Heaney
passed away in August.
Postscript
And some time make the time to drive out
west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, and inland among
stones
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit
By the earthed lightening of flock of swans,
Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on
white,
Their fully-grown headstrong-looking heads
Tucked or cresting or busy underwater
Useless to think you’ll park or capture it
More throughly. You are neither here more
there,
A hurry through which known and strange
things pass
A big soft buffetings come at the car sideways
And catch the heart off guard and blow it open
