In 1862 he came to this country and settled in New York, where he successfully followed the liquor business until April, 1891, when he moved to North Bergen, Hudson County, N. J. Here, on Bergenline Avenue, near the Guttenberg racetrack, Mr. Moylan purchased and still conducts one of the most popular hotels in his section. He is a consistent Democrat, but has never been active in political affairs, preferring to devote his time and energies wholly to business. In the growth and prosperity of the town, however, and especially in the development of his immediate neighborhood, he has been useful and influential. He was active in the organization of the North Bergen Fire Department, of which he has continually been a leading member, and which he served as Treasurer for three years, declining a fourth term in 1899. He is a public spirited citizen, and respected for those qualities which mark the successful man.
