Read More	Neil Patrick Brennan was born February 11, 1850 in Killybegs, Donegal, Ireland, and died August 09, 1915 in O'Neill, Holt, Nebraska. He married Margaret Keyes in 1881 at O'Neill, Holt, Nebraska, daughter of Thomas Keyes and Ellen O'Donnell Keyes. Margaret was born February 11, 1860 in Parkhill, Ontario, Canada, and died January 10, 1940 in O'Neill, Holt, Nebraska. Neil Brennan was in the first colony of settlers that John O'Neill brought to Holt County. Neil hired on as a freighter for store owner Pat Hagerty, working nearly 5 years taking wagon trains between O'Neill and the railroad head at Wisner. In the beginning, this meant teams of oxen and wagons loaded with goods, on their way either to farmers or to the railroads: dangerous work, as outlaw attacks and murder were not unheard of. On one of his trips to Wisner he met Mr. and Mrs. (Ellen O'Donnell) Thomas Keyes and met their daughter Margaret Keyes. He persuaded the Keyes to settle in O'Neill (it has been stated that this was to make it easier for him to court Margaret.) Neil then joined J.J. McCafferty in a hardware store. J. J. McCafferty eventually became a well-known judge. BrNeil and Margaret were married in O'Neill in 1881. Brennan's Hardware went independent in October 1882.
