JOHN M. GILLIGAN, a prominent manufacturer of corsets, was born in Kearny, Hudson County, N. J., where he still resides, on the 14th of April, 1872. He is a son of Isaac Gilligan and Ellen Nolan, natives of Ireland, who came to the United States in 1856, settling in Newark, N. J.

Mr. Gilligan received his educational training in the public schools of Newark and Kearny, and early developed business abilities of a high order. After obtaining experience in the various employments which a boy usually seeks lie settled upon manufacturing, and, finding a suitable and congenial field for the exercise of his ambition, engaged in the manufacture of corsets in his native town. He soon established a large and successful trade.

In politics Mr. Gilligan is an ardent and active Democrat. He has served as a member of the Board of School Trustees of Kearny for three terms and is prominently identified with the best interests of the town. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, of St. Patrick's Alliance, and of the Catholic Benevolent Legion.
