PATRICK DEVINE

Patrick Devine and his wife, Bridget McCarey Devine, were both born in Belfast, Ireland, and came to America, landing in Philadelphia in 1860. He was a salt-water sailor and also worked in the Naval shipyards and in 1861 enlisted in the Civil War.

After the war the family came to Douglas, where they lived the remainder of their lives, and for many years Mr. Devine sailed the Great Lakes. There were five children born, of whom Joseph and William survive; deceased are Mary Ann Slighter and Katherine Locke, both of Grand Rapids, and Nellie Thew of Allegan.

Mr. Devine died at the age of 73 and Mrs. Devine at 83, a much respected couple.
