ANDREW McMAHON. Andrew McMahon, a well known farmer and stock-raiser of Wapsinonoc township, was born on the place where he resides.
His parents, Andrew and Elizabeth ( McSWEENEY ) McMahon, were both natives of Ireland.
They crossed the Atlantic to the United States in 1840, first locating in Cincinnait, Ohio, where the father followed farming. In 1857 they came to Muscatine county, Iowa, and three years later purchased the farm on which our subject resides.
The cultivation and improvement of that property claimed his attention throughout the remainder of his active business career and at the time of his demise he owned a valuable farm of one hundred and ninety-six acres on section 35, Wapsinonoc township, of which Mr. McMahon of this review is one of its heirs.
His political allegiance was given to the republican party, while his religious faith was indicated by his membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, to which his wife also belonged. When he passed away in 1902, at the age of seventy-two years, the community mourned the loss of one of its most respected and substantial citizens.
His wife was called to her final rest in 1885.
The children were seven in number, as follows:
WILLIAM J., who is a resident of West Liberty;
MARY E;
EDITH L.
JOHN Q.;
and ANDREW
