JOHN DWYRE, Principal of Public School No. 1, at Harrison, N. J.,
since 1873, is a native of Ireland, and when a young man came to America
with his parents. Having received a thorough education in the public
schools of his native country, he began teaching soon after his arrival in
this country, first in Elizabeth and subsequently in Newark, N. J. In 1873
lie became Principal of Public School No. 1, of Harrison, Hudson County,
which position he has since filled. Few educators have gained the distinction and reputation which Mr. Dwyre has long enjoyed. He is one of the ablest, as well as one of the most faithful, teachers in this section of the State, and during the twenty-seven years that he has been at the head of one of the most important public schools in Harrison he has displayed eminent abilities, great force of character, and a broad and liberal learning. He is thoroughly identified with the public life of Harrison, has written a history of that town, and is a prominent member of the C. B. L. and A. O. H. Mr. Dwyre married Helena Shannon, and has had six children: John, Stephen, Edward, James (deceased), Mary, and Helena.
