Joseph Byrne (M.D., LL.D.) was born 31 Mar 1870 at Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Ireland, the son of Patrick and Margaret (O'Neill) Byrne.
He was a physician in New York City, a Catholic, and a Democrat.
After graduating from Carlow College, Ireland, in 1890, he came to New York in 1891, took the degree of M.A. at St. Francis Xavier's College in 1893, and that of M.D. at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia, in 1895.
The degree of LL.D. was conferred by the New York Law School in 1900 and by Fordham University in 1921.
Dr. Byrne was a member of various medical societies and contributed numerous articles upon neurological and other subjects.
Although not naturalized until 1917, Dr. Byrne served as Captain in the Sixty-ninth Volunteer Regiment in the Spanish War of 1898.
In the 1910 US census, he had a wife, Cynthia (b. 1872, surname unknown) and a son, Joseph P. Byrne (b. 1906). The marriage was annulled. Cynthia and Joseph Jr. went to London, whether before the annulment or after is unknown. The boy spent the rest of his life there; the father visited now and then. After World War I, he was studying medicine in Paris, but died there and is buried there. Nothing more is known of him.
Dr. Byrne then married, on 20 December 1917, my Great Aunt Gertrude Hopkins (1870-1943).
