JOHN F. LEE
Originally published in 1900 |
|
JOHN F. LEE, of Bayonne, was born on West Eighth Street, New York
City, November 9, 1874, and is the son of Michael Lee and Ellen Farrell.
His father is a landscape gardener by profession, a leading resident of
Bayonne, and a representative Democrat in politics. He is of Irish descent
on both sides, his parents having come to this country from County
Cork, Ireland. John F. Lee received his education in the parochial schools of Bayonne, Hudson County, N. J., whither his parents removed when he was young. He subsequently pursued a legal course in connection with regular practitioners, holding a position as law clerk. This profession, however, did not suit his taste, and he turned his attention to journalistic work, which he is determined to make his future business and for which he has decided ability and talents. Mr. Lee is a Democrat in politics, and during the past four years has been one of the school trustees of Bayonne. He is a member of Court Winfield, Foresters of America, and of Star of the Sea Lodge, No. 187, Knights of Columbus, both of Bayonne. He is also a prominent member of the Bayonne City Democratic Club, and one of the active and influential younger citizens of that enterprising community.
