1Title:  George J. McMonagle Papers     
 Creator:  McMonagle, George J. 
 Dates:  1910-1989 
 Abstract:  George J. McMonagle was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1906 of Irish descent. A graduate of Cleveland Marshall Law School in 1930, he practiced law for 34 years. In 1964, he was appointed a judge in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, winning election to that office in 1966. He retired in 1997. McMonagle has been active in Irish organizations in Cleveland, including as a charter member of the Irish Civic Association, founded in 1942, and as a member of the Irish Goodfellowship Club. An annual activity of the Irish Civic Association was the organization of the St. Patrick's Day parade and banquet. The two groups maintain a close relationship; the Civic Association's banquet also serves to honor the Goodfellowship Club's "Man of the Year." the collection consists of personal papers of George J. McMonagle and also records of the Irish Civic Association, which he served as secretary and president. Included is general correspondence concerning the Irish Civic Association, specific correspondence concerning that group's articles of incorporation, a statement of continued existence, eleven issues of the newspaper The Irish-American covering the years 1939-1944, a membership list (1942) of the Irish Civic Association, articles of incorporation for the Irish Goodfellowship Club (1910), a compilation of Irish nicknames, speeches by George J. McMonagle, and newspaper clippings concerning Judge James C. Connell.
