He was a native of Ireland, born in county Kerry in 1839 and passed away at his home near Glasco, Kansas January 27th, 1929 at the age of 89 years, 4 months and 13 days. Mr. Hurley was educated in a parochial school in Ireland, and when about 19 years of age immigrated to America and was employed by the Government for five years with the first army corps along the Potomac in the supply company. He afterward returned to Pennsylvania and thence to Maryland where he was married to Annora Collins, Dec. 26, 1868 at Washington, D.C. Shortly after their marriage they located in Iowa, where they lived for two years, having been employed as a foreman by a railroad company. ?? 1st, Mr. Hurley with his wife and two children, Johnny and Tommy and their pioneer companions the John Downey, Michael Dillon, Thomas and Pierce Butler families arrived at Glasco June 1st, 1870 where he took a homestead on a farm 3 1/2 miles southeast of Glasco, 59 years ago, where he resided until the time of his death. His death means the breaking up of the last couple who journeyed here together. To have been a vital part in the progress of a great American frontier to a fore-most community is indeed a worthy accomplishment and a monument to the splendid character of the man who so earnestly and generously did his part. Mr. Hurley is survived by his wife and seven children, Mrs. S.E. Colton, Mrs. J.D. Butler, Mrs. R.H. Butler, Mrs. Wilburn Pitner, Mrs. Arnold Klein, and Will and Frank Hurley, all of Glasco.
