1Title:  Lawrence Connelly Family Papers     
 Creator:  Connelly, Lawrence Family 
 Dates:  1883-1989 
 Abstract:  Lawrence Connelly emigrated from Newry, County Down, Ireland, to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1852. He was later joined in Cleveland by his wife, Ann, and their children. The family owned a farm in the vicinity of Ansel Rd. in Cleveland. Their son, James Connelly, served 2 terms on Cleveland City Council, 1885-1889, and was a successful public contractor and president of the Connelly Construction Co. A great-grandson of Lawrence Connelly, Thomas J. Connelly, became captain of the Bethlehem Steel vessel, Stewart J. Cort. Another descendant, Edward T. Butler III, was active in the leadership of Catholic Charities, the Cleveland Bar Association, and on the boards of St. Anthony's Home for Boys and the United Appeal Campaign. Another descendant is the author Robert Sam Anson. The collection consists of a six-generation genealogical chart, reminiscences given by women of the family throughout the century, a playscript re-creation of "The Tuesday Study Club," and copies of newspaper clippings about various members of the family and miscellaneous articles of Irish interest.
