Jeremiah Reagan and Ellen Flynn

Jeremiah Regan/Reagan, the son of Thomas Reagan and Margaret Sheehan is estimated to have been born about 1828 in County Cork, Ireland.   He married Ellen Flynn and they had two children - Jeremiah and John Thomas.  Jeremiah and Ellen are found in the 1865  New York State Census  living in the Town of Skaneateles.  The 1875 NYS census shows Ellen as a widow and working as a rag sorter, probably for the paper mill.  The 1880 Federal Census shows Ellen working at the paper mill and her son Jerry employed by the teasel shop. 

An article from the Skaneateles Free Press dated March 18, 1869 shows that Jeremiah died on March 12, 1869:
" JEREMIAH REAGAN - SUDDEN DEATH -
Jeremiah Reigan (sic) was found in an insensible condition in the road near his house on last Friday morning about half past 6 o'clock.  Efforts were made for his recovery but he died in about half an hour after being found.  He was employed as a cattle feeder in Earls Tallman's distillery and left that establishment for his home about 7 o'clock on Thursday evening and was not seen again until the next morning under the circumstances as described about.  His death is supposed to have been caused by a fit."

ELLEN REAGAN
"Reagan, in this town, Wednesday February 8, 1882 of congestion of the lungs. Ellen, relict of the late Jeremiah Reagan, aged 48 years.
We mourn thee Mother
Kind at time
Yet thou art gone
to eternal rest
a home to make with angel
in the bright land of rest"
