O'Brien, Patrick, was born in County Waterford, Ireland, April 2, 1851. In May,
1867, he sailed for America and came direct to Jefferson county, where he was employed as a farm hand until 1878
and then purchased some property in the city of Watertown and after some eleven years' residence in that city exchanged
his city property for the farm he now resides on, known as the Valley farm. Mr. O'Brien was married on June 19,
1878, to Mary A. Donahue of Watertown, and they have four children: John D., aged nineteen; Edward J., aged fifteen;
Catherine A., aged twelve, and Mary H., aged eight. Mr. O'Brien is a member of the Exempt Firemen of Watertown,
No. 32, Co. D, and the Knights of St. Patrick. He also takes some part in politics and is now sole trustee of his
district. Mr. O'Brien has always enjoyed the esteem and friendship of a large circle of friends.
