My Genealogy Hound

DANIEL J. McNAMARA was born in County Clare Ireland, November 26, 1845, and is the third son of John and Anna (O’Brien) McNamara, parents of nine children: three of whom are still living. The father was born in 1801 and came to the United States in 1848. Ellen, sister of Daniel J. McNamara, married Mr. Byerns and had two children: Anna B. and Mary E. William, Daniel J.’ s surviving brother, was born in County Clare, Ireland, in October, 1847, is the youngest child, and is now engaged in manufacturing tobacco. Daniel J. McNamara was married in September, 1876, to Miss L. M. Copeland, of Louisville, Ky., and three children have blessed this union, two of whom are living: John and Louise M. Mr. McNamara’s maternal grandfather, Daniel, was killed in Philadelphia, and his paternal grandfather died in 1801. Daniel J. and William McNamara have long been engaged in the manufacturing of tobacco. The McNamara Tobacco Company occupies large and commodious premises, and the growth of the trade of this house has been a remarkable one, but is simply the reward of persistent and determined effort to succeed by a rigid adherence to a straightforward, liberal business policy. The firm carry an immense stock; their trade extends to all parts of the country, and no house in this line of business has a higher reputation than this.
