JAMES E. MALONE

James E. Malone, a member of the Beaver Dam bar and not unknown in democratic circles in this state, has through continuously broadening experience and study become qualified for the more important work of the practitioner and has been connected with considerable notable litigation of this state. Beaver Dam is his native city and the day of his birth was November 7, 1853. His parents, John and Mary (McCabe) Malone, were natives of Ireland and for a time lived in Franklin county, New York, but came to Beaver Dam in 1851. The father, a native of County Clare, Ireland, was sixteen years of age when, about 1844, in company with his mother, two brothers and seven sisters, he arrived in the United States, landing at Quebec, whence he made his way to Franklin county, New York, where he remained until a year after his marriage. Following his removal westward to Dodge county he worked at Highland Prairie for a year and then embarked in business on his own account as proprietor of a grocery store at Beaver Dam, but his stock was destroyed in the great fire which occurred in this city. He afterward established a brick yard which he conducted until 1872, and then turned his attention to farming, which he followed for a few years. H afterward conducted an auction store in Beaver Dam but later lived retired until his death, which occurred in 1903. His widow survived him for about three years, passing away in 1906. He was ever a man of genial spirit, doing many good deeds not only to those who were bound to him by family ties, but to others as well. He served in several official positions including that of street commissioner and deputy sheriff. The religious faith of himself and family was that of the Catholic church. While a resident of the Empire State he was married to Mary McCabe, a daughter of James McCabe, of County Cavan, Ireland, who brought his family to the United States about 1837 and settled in Franklin county, New York. In was in March, 1850, that his daughter gave her hand in marriage in New York state, to John Malone, and they became the parents of eleven children: Ellen, now deceased; James E.; Anna Marie, the wife of Patrick Austin, of Michigan; John J., who also passed away; Patrick Henry, of Beaver Dam; Catherine, the wife of Henry McCaffery, also of Beaver Dam; George, of Kenosha, Wisconsin; Rose, the wife of John Gorman, of Beaver Dam; W. D., a Catholic priest of Kenosha; Michael A., who is living in Missoula, Montana; and Mary, the wife of John Bassfield [sic], of Minnesota.

In the schools of his native city, James E. Malone pursued his early education and afterward attended St. Francis seminary in Milwaukee, later continuing his studies in Wayland (Beaver Dam) Academy. Desiring to make the practice of law his life work, he began reading in the office and under the direction of Judge Edward Elwell, of this city, and was admitted to the bar in September, 1877. He then opened an office in Beaver Dam, but after practicing for a year was elected clerk of the circuit court and removed to Juneau, one the 1st of January, 1879. He filled that position most acceptably for six years and later was elected district attorney, serving in that capacity for two years. he was then appointed registrar of the land office at Perry, Oklahoma, in which position he served in 1893-94. He afterward practiced law in Juneau until 1911, when he returned to Beaver Dam, where he is now following his profession, being accorded a clientage that at once establishes his reputation as a leading and able lawyer. Aside from the office which he has held in the strict path of his profession he has done other important public service. Governor Peck appointed him as a commissioner to divide the counties of Ashland and Iron and on many important questions he has been consulted by prominent party leaders. His position is furthermore indicated by the fact that he was made a delegate to the democratic national conventions of 1892, 1896 and 1900.

On the 1st of June, 1881, Mr. Malone was married to Miss Mary Burke, of Watertown, Wisconsin, a daughter of Jeremiah and Bridget Burke, who were natives of Limerick, Ireland, and came to the United States in early life. Mr. and Mrs. Malone have a family of six children: Mary Patricia, who is in the office of her father; Rachel Isabell, a teacher in Milwaukee; James F., who was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in June, 1911, and is now practicing law with his father; Madeline A., who is attending school in Chicago; Donald, also in school; and Genevieve, at home. Mr. Malone and family are members of St. Patrick's Catholic church and he holds membership in the Knights of Columbus. the Catholic Knights and the Catholic Foresters. He is also connected with the Knights of Pythias. His memory goes back to the period when there were many Indians in this part of the state and when great stretches of forest stood in their primeval strength. he has lived to witness almost the entire growth and development of this region and his influence and aid have always been given on the side of progress and improvement. At the same time his official and professional duties have been in no wise neglected, his devotion to both having become proverbial.
