When this article was published back in 1984, a gentleman who identified himself as Mr. Leahy questioned the veracity of the article relating to the history of the Hibernians in Trenton. I fell back on my favorite celebrity quote by Will Rogers, and told him "all I know is what I read in the papers." In truth, old newspapers are indeed an incredibly valuable resource for those of us who are deeply involved in historic research.
