WALTER A. WALSH, formerly President of the School Board and Common
Council of Kearny, Hudson County, was born in Newark, N. J., June
9, 1850. When five years old he went with his parents, Michael and Rachel
(McCarell) Walsh, to Ohio, but returned at the age of fourteen and received
a common school education in his native city. His parents were born in
Ireland, and in 1848 came to Newark, where they were married in 1849.
Mr. Walsh was successively engaged in the manufacture of buttons, in wood turning and manufacturing moldings, etc., in baking, and in the manufacture of buttons and jewelry, achieving in each business enterprise that degree of success which ability, sound judgment, and faithful attention to detail invariably merit. He also obtained in these connections a invaluable experience and a high reputation. In 1891 he engaged in the liquor and hotel business in Kearny, Hudson County, in which he still continues. In public and political life Mr. Walsh has filled several important trusts. He was a member one year and President two years of the Borough of East Newark Common Council, and has also served as President of the Borough of East Newark School Board. In every capacity he has discharged his duties with ability, fidelity, and satisfaction. He is a member of the Catholic Benevolent Legion, of the Exempt Firemen's Association, and of other social bodies. He married Miss Mary Kenney.
