Maria Daly Shea (April 12, 1829 – March 25, 1911) was born in County Tyrone, Ireland. She was brought to America at the age of three and, in Philadelphia, became a member of the household of Thomas Lloyd. Lloyd had been a prominent figure in Philadelphia Roman Catholic life,〔Griffin, Martin I. J. “Mrs. Maria Daly Shea.” Philadelphia Catholic Standard and Times. April 10, 1911. Newspaper clipping. http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Pennsylvaniana/Lloyd/Lloyd-00095.xml. Lloyd Collection, Villanova University Digital Library.〕 as well as being a soldier in the American Revolution, a reporter, and the "Father of American Shorthand."〔Kissling, Thomas E. "Father of U.S. Shorthand, Catholic Steno Expert Reported 1st Inauguration." Newspaper clipping. http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Pennsylvaniana/Lloyd/Lloyd-00031.xml. Lloyd Collection, Villanova University Digital Library.〕 Shea completed her schooling at Eden Hall on the location now known as Fluehr Park in Torresdale, Philadelphia. Eden Hall was a convent and school established in 1847 and operated until 1969 by the Society of the Sacred Heart sisters.〔Kenny, William. "Chapel of love at Eden Hall," Northeast Times. Article. June 8, 2006. http://www.northeasttimes.com/2006/0608/edenhall.html.〕 As heir to Lloyd's three daughters, Shea inherited the family papers and records kept by the Lloyd family. In this capacity, she was of great assistance to the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia.〔 Some of her correspondence with a founder of this society, Thomas Cooke Middleton, O.S.A. (1842–1923), who later became the tenth president of Villanova College from 1876–1878,〔Gallagher, Dennis, O.S.A., and Laura Hutelmyer. “Featuring Villanova University’s librarians from the past.” Compass 2:4, May 2006. http://newsletter.library.villanova.edu/93.〕 is preserved in the Lloyd Collection in the Special Collections at the Villanova University Library. Shea is interred at St. Denis Cemetery in Havertown, PA.〔 ==External links== * (Lloyd Collection at Villanova University ) * (Archdiocese of Philadelphia, St. Denis ) * (American Catholic Historical Society ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria Daly Shea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
