The open paragraph referres to "Michael Skehan" then goes on to describe "Patrick Michael" . It should be noted that there was apparently an unrelated "Michael Skehan" living in the a rea at about the same time who made his fortune (in the gold fields) and later returned to Ir eland.
Michael Skehan and his good wife came from County Clare, Ireland, only a short distance up th e River Shannon from the city of Limerick. In 1849, per the sailing ship " Tippo Sahib, " the y left their native land and arrived at Sydney some time in 1850. After engaging in farm wor k in the Wollongong district for a period, they came along to Melbourne. Skehan went to Ballarat in 1851, and followed mining operations for some years. In the late f ifties this couple definitely settled at Kilmore, where four out of the seven members of thei r family were born. Patrick Skehan (father of a present day resident, Barry Skehan) was bor n at Kilmore in 1861. Thirty-three years later he was elected as a member of the Kilmore Shir e Council, and held the seat continuously until 1917, when he severed his connection with th e district. Ex-Councillor P. Skehan (a Bootmaker by profession) took an active part in the introduction o f the electric lighting scheme at Kilmore, and acted as secretary for the original company. A s chairman of the Water Trust, this public-spirited citizen served the interests of rate pape rs for several years. Mrs. Conabere, the wife of one of our well-remembered coullcillors, Wm. Conabere, was a membe r of the Skehan family. Five daughters and one son were born to Mr. and Mrs. Conabere at Kilm ore. The eldest daughter married a son of T. J. Geoghegan, formerly one of our leading busin ess men.
