Patrick Henry Giblin was born in Roscommon County Ireland on the 28th of February 1860 and is the son of James and Bessie(Kelly) Giblin. The father died on the Emerald Isle when the subject(PH Giblin) of this review was twenty one years of age and the mother departed this life 6 months after her son came to the new world. He was reared in Ireland, pursuing his education in the public schools of Roscommon County. Just prior to his emigration he resided upon a farm in his native country, but believing America offered superior business advantages he bade adieu to home and family and sailed for the United States arriving on the 1st of June 1880. Because of the fact that he had relatives living in Springfield, IL he came directly to this city and soon afterward secured employment in the Rolling mill of the Springfield Iron Company.
