"The James Doran Family resided at 611 Williams Avenue (now 9th Avenue). Mr. Doran was born in County Carlow, Ireland in 1847 and came to the US in 1860 as a lad of 13. His father had died, presumably during the Irish potato famine, leaving a young widow, Kitty Keough (Kehoe) and 3 children, John, James, and Johannah. They settled in Oconto, where there was a large Irish community including many relatives. Here James married Mary Ann Roach, whose father had died in the civil war, and the couple moved to Menominee purchasing the home on William Avenue. James was employed as a log scaler for the Wells Lumber Company. The Doran's had 6 children, all of whom attended St. John's School and Menominee High School. Three boys-John, Herbert and Edward-became accountants while Roy was a career Army Officer. John was married to Elsie Cleary; Herbert to Anne Laurin; Edward to Helen Rock, then Myrtle St. John; Roy to Cecile McGinnis. Katherine married William Ounsworth, who operated Woodford and Bill Piano company on Main (1st) Street, and was a popular baritone at local gaterhings. Frances never married and now lives in at Oconto, the last surviving offspring. Children and grandchildren of John and Herb still reside in the area."
