James Hanley (1847–1916)
James Hanley (1847–1916) was a railway man who became a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and of the Los Angeles Common Council, the governing body of that city, in the late 19th Century. He was the engineer on the first Southern Pacific transcontinental passenger train leaving from Los Angeles.〔("Former Councilman and Supervisor Hanley Dies," ''Los Angeles Times,'' April 4, 1916, page II-1 )〕
==Personal==
Hanley was born April 14, 1847, in Ireland. He moved with his family to Australia when he was 10, where he later learned the railway business. At age 19 he took ship for San Francisco, California, and settled in Sacramento, where he joined Southern Pacific. After becoming an engineer, he was transferred to Los Angeles, and he "helped establish the first transcontinental passenger route to and from the West Coast." He retired after twenty years to go into real estate.〔(Los Angeles County biography )〕
In 1915, as war was raging in Europe, Hanley publicly proclaimed that he wanted to reaffirm the oath of allegiance he had taken to the United States when he became a citizen. "I would like to reaffirm my allegiance every ten years just as a voluntary expression of constant and sustained loyalty," he said.〔("Wants to Reaffirm His Oath of Fealty," ''Los Angeles Times,'' May 14, 1915, page II-10 )〕
He died at the age of 68 on April 3, 1916, in the family home, 1152 Norton Avenue, in Arlington Heights,〔() Location of the Hanley home on ''Mapping L.A.''〕 "from the effects of a stroke of apoplexy." Services were at Saint Thomas Church, and interment was at Calvary Cemetery, East Los Angeles. He was survived by his wife, Katie, and three children, John, Robert and Katherine.〔〔 There had been another son, John T., who died in 1904.〔("John T. Hanley Dead," ''Los Angeles Times,'' May 10, 1904, page 4 )〕
