John S. Tracey (1918-1990) of Saugerties New York and
Demarest New Jersey, campaigning Irish Republican
|
|
October
24, 1990 The Record (Hackensack, New Jersey) John S. Tracey, at 72; leader of Irish-Americans By Susan Edelman Record Staff Writer John S. Tracey, a longtime leader in the regional
Irish-American community, died Sunday of heart and kidney failure. He was 72.
A retired trucking company manager and Demarest resident for 36 years, Tracey
was a councilman and Planning Board member in the late 1950s, and founded the
town's volunteer ambulance corps. Described as gregarious, jovial, and
helpful to those in need, Tracey was elected grand marshal of St. Patrick's
Day parades in Bergenfield and Rockland County, N.Y. He was active in many
Irish-American political and cultural groups, helped raise money for the
Irish Republican movement, and organized numerous rallies and demonstrations
against British involvement in Northern Ireland. In a "Reverse Boston Tea Party" in 1981,
Tracey joined a group of protesters who marched across the George Washington
Bridge and sent tea bags skyward attached to green helium-filled balloons.
Also that year, wearing a bright green cap in chilling winds, Tracey
demonstrated outside Brendan Bryne Arena to protest a concert by British Army
bands. "He was one of those Irishmen born in the
United States that be came more Irish than the Irish-born," said John F.
Curran, a former Bergen County freeholder who in 1983 accompanied Tracey and
U.S. Rep. Robert Torricelli, D-Englewood, on a trip to Ireland to investigate
alleged human-rights violations. Tracey was past president of the Ancient
Order of the Hibernians of New Jersey, a fraternal society, and a national
chairman of the group's Boycott British Goods Committee. He was past
president of the New Jersey Gaelic League, a cultural group, and a drummer in
several bagpipe bands. He also was active in the An Cumann Cabhrach of Bergen
County, which supports families of political prisoners in Ireland. In 1984, after the Irish Republican Army took credit
for the bombing attack on an English hotel where British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher was staying, Tracey was quoted in The Record as calling the
bombing "a great thing." But his wife of 41 years, Susan, who has many
relatives living in Ireland, described Tracey as a gentle man who believed
deeply injustice and "sympathized with all persecuted people." His mother of German descent and his father of Irish
ancestry, Tracey was born in Ulster County, N.Y. Both parents died before tie
entered grammar school, and Tracey was raised in a Catholic-orphanage, "You wouldn't think anybody with that kind of
start could be that much of a people person," said his son, Patrick C.
Tracey' of Dumont. "His thing was to help other people. He was a
doer." Patrick Tracey, Dumont's .Volunteer recycling coordinator,
recalled his father taking him as a youngster to view building developments.
"He wasn't going to yote on something without knowing what was going
on," he said. "He voted his conscience ind put the people of
Demarest above his Republican party," said Joseph Ringelstein, a former
Demurest mayor and 30-year neighbor of Tracey's. "We've lost a gcd
friend." Tracey is also survived by his daughter, Jean McBee of Spring
Valley, N.Y., and eight godchildren. Visiting will be at Quirk Funeral Home in Tenafly
today from 1 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. A formal Mass will be held 9:30 a.m.
Thursday at St. Joseph's R. C. Church in Demarest, with burial following at

Obituary For John S. Tracey
Demarest, NJ. Born 1918, Saugerties, NY; died October
21, 1990
A bitter loss came to his family and friends with the
death of John Tracey, a legendary figure to every Irish American in northern
New Jersey. John's death occurred on October 21, after a protracted illness.
John Tracey was a man of unique ingenuity and
enthusiasm. With his perfectly matched wife, Susan, he devoted boundless energy
and talent to the Irish cause. Whether he was in Killarney outwitting the
Dublin government's political police and a hotel manager, or renting a plane to
carry alighted sign over a NJ Meadowlands crowd, or merely talking with a
handful of chance acquaintances, John always brought the plight of the Irish in
British-occupied Ireland to public attention-good-naturedly, ingeniously, and
effectively.
The list of associations and organizations to which
John belonged and was active in is impressively long. Even more impressive is
the simple fact that John never entered or stayed in an organization in which
he couldn't be a true worker for the organization's aims.
He led some parades, he marched in the rear ranks in
others, he gave uncounted hours to charities and welfare. And always a favored
place in his hear went to the land of his ancestors. To his wife and their
children and other family go the respect and sympathy of all of us who knew
him.

I'm searching for relatives of my father John B.
TRACEY b.1/15/1918 in Saugerties, NY. His Parents were John Joseph TRACEY b.
10/6/1884 d.11/10/1918 and Margaret Annette CHRISTILL b.1/8/1886. John Joseph
was the son of William E. TRACEY b.@1863 and Katherine HURLEY d.11/16/1810.
William E. md.9/1/1912 -2nd wife Katherine Marie CARR. John Joseph had 8
siblings; William V. Tracey md. Mina L. Overbaugh, Agnes Tracey md Arthur
Oliver, Paul F. Tracey md.Elizabeth A. Koch, Dean T. Tracey md Bertha M. Avery,

Jean P. McBee (nee Tracey) matmom@aol.com
son William E. TRACEY b@1863 md 1st Katherine Hurley
2nd Catherine Marie Carr 9/1/1912.
William E. was Fire Chief in Saugerties, NY
Katherine HURLEY had siblings Mary (md James HUGHES),
John(d.7/19/1949 )and Margaret( md. a Mr. Barry d. 4/23/47 San Fran., CA).
William E. TRACEY and Katherine had 9 children so I
know there has got to be other descendants out there beside my brother, Dad's
cousin Evelyn TEETSEL LEGG and me.
My father John B. Tracey was the son of John Joseph
Tracey a rural route mailman who died from the Spanish Influenza on
11/10/1918.He lost his mother Margaret Annette CHRISTILL to TB 4/23/1928.Both
are buried at St. Mary's Church in Saugerties, NY
Catherine CARR was the daughter of Edwin and Catherine
WELCH CARR. She and William E. had no children together but she was the only
person my father remembered as Grandma Tracey.

into were: Overbaugh, Oliver, Koch, Avery, Wynkoop, and Teetsel.
