Emigrated to USA via Detroit in April 1885

As far as I have been able to determine, my family's branch of the Corrigan clan immigrated to Wisconsin from Canada, arriving near Eau Claire in the 1880's. Six of the seven Corrigan brothers of Orilli, Ontario, better themselves in the newly-opening logging operations of the mid-western United States. Hugh settled in the Eau Claire area, Pat and Tom in northern Wisconsin, and Henry, Jim, and Mike went to the far west in Washington state after several years in northern Wisconsin. Oral tradition in the family has it that only "Curly" Bill remained at home in Orilli. Of the five sisters, at least two left home for the United States; Rose settled in Detroit, Michigan, and Maggie to go to Washington and Alaska. All of the Corrigan boys worked in the woods and mills, married, raised families, and settled permanently in the areas of their choice.

My father, Patrick, married Johannah Hoffmeister in Chippewa County in 1888 and their first child, Ida, was born in June, 1889. They came north to Drummond in Bayfield County after their second daughter, Ann, was born in November, 1891. The young family soon moved to Mineral Lake in Ashland County where Pat began working for the newly re-organized Mineral Lake Lumber Company as a lumber piler. In April, 1894, their first son, William, was born. At this time. Hannah also had her three sisters join her in the north country. Pat continued his work at the mill in the growing little community. The Corrigan family grew also with the birth of George (the author) in 1896 and that of a third daughter, Frances, three years later.

Patrick married Johannah HOFFMEISTER in 1888 in Chippewa, Wisconsin, United States. Johannah was born in Madison, Dane, Wisconsin, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Miresse, Shirley A. (Nee Corrigan ) Born to Eternal Life Thursday, October 1, 2015. Age 90. Beloved wife for 67 years of the late Arthur "Art". Dear mother of the late Steve (Leigh), Sandy (Bob Loos), Bruce (Luann), Joe (Vickie), Jim and Tony (Geneen). Loving grandmother of Cindy (Tony) Seaman, Steve (Lisa) Miresse, Jack Rice, Cori (Rob) Kaminsky, Vince (Gina) Miresse, Angie (Jim) Benjamin, Dan (Karen) Miresse, Mike (Theresa) Miresse, Michelle (Matt) Adamski, Nick, Tom and Christine Miresse, Kim and Mark Miresse, Tami (Bob) Molthen, Matt (Gina) Kangas, 14 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

Visitation Tuesday, October 6 from 9:30AM until time of Memorial Mass at 10:30AM at CLEMENT MANOR CHAPEL, 3939 S. 92nd Street, Greenfield. Interment Wisconsin Memorial Park, Brookfield. In lieu of flowers, memorials to Clement Manor appreciated. Shirley was a charter member of St. Margaret Mary Church in Milwaukee. She was a loving mother and home maker, and was primarily responsible for raising her 6 children (during which, some would argue, she should have earned her sainthood). Once the children were older, she and Art would organize trips through their church and were able to travel to many wonderful destinations around the world. Mom, we know your final destination will be the best of all. We love you and we will miss you. We would also like to thank the dedicated staff at Clement Manor for the care and love they provided mom in her final years.
