Delany, John O'Fallon (1842-1930).
Papers, 1832-1933. 5 boxes
John Delany was born in St. Louis, the son of Octavia Mullanphy, one of the eight daughters
of John Mullanphy. He received his preparatory education at St. Louis University and graduated
from Columbia University in 1866 with a degree in medicine. John Delany traveled with Father
DeSmet in 1862 to Fort Benton, and was the sole survivor of that expedition. Although trained as
a doctor, he chose the real estate business as his career and was associated with the James M.
Carpenter Real Estate Company. He married Miss Elizabeth Sloan in 1893. Mrs. Delany was
given the power of attorney for her husband in 1929. He died at his home in St. Louis in
December 1930.
This collection contains about 30 items consisting of papers, deeds, genealogy of Morton and
Delany families, including a letter sent as a Valentine from a gold prospector in California, 1851;
letter of Archbishop John G. Glennon, St. Louis, to John O'Fallon Delany acknowledging receipt
of gift of property for school ground at Lafayette, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania Avenues; and an
invitation to George Morton to act as a pallbearer in funeral procession of Henry Clay.
Collection also includes several small pocket journals kept daily by Delany, which record his
childhood days at school, his education and various trips abroad, and home life in St. Louis. The
entries consist of general and broad statements concerning the day’s activities. The journal of
1862 was kept while traveling with Father DeSmet to Fort Benton. The journals covering the
years 1927-1933 were written by his wife, Elizabeth Sloan Delany. The entries for these years
are inconsistent and basically cover various expenses, business matters, and some trips. The back
of most of the journals includes listings of accounts, expenses and notes, newsclippings, business
and calling cards.
