James E. Maher, husband of Agnes Mary Long, was the industrious son of Irish settlers, John W. Maher and Mary Dwyer.
He was a popular and well-esteemed business man of his day as the sole-proprietor of a highly influential copper and sheet iron worker and manufacturer of improved steam trains outfit in the heart of industrial New Orleans beginning in 1880. His establishment churned out innovative steam engines and boilers for the sugar, fruit, steam train, and chimney industries, among others. He traveled extensively to Cuba and through North America prosecuting his business interests. He was widely and favorably known, and dedicated his life to his work.
Sadly the tragic passing of his wife led to the break up of his family, and his children were either placed in the homes of different relatives, or they struck out on their own.
James and Agnes were the parents of at least eight known children: Frank Thomas, John C., Robert James, Mary, Robert E., Agnes, Kathleen, and Evelyn Madaline.
James is known to have been interred at Carrollton Cemetery on July 16, 1927, according to his obituary. His wife was laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery in New Orleans.
