Blaney, James L.

b. Sep. 15, 1844

CS Navy - Galena

James W. Blaney was born Sept. 15, 1844. He enlisted on March 7, 1865, in the Navy. He was on the Galena, at Fortress Monroe for about two years, being discharged Feb. 5, 1867. He was married in 1867, his wife living two or three years, after which he never married again. There were no children. He came to Lynn Haven in 1911, being one of the first settlers here, and one of the first to build a good home, which is located on Louisiana avenue between 11th and 12th streets. In 1913 his sister, Mrs. Emma McAuliffe?, came to live with him. Mr. Blaney has been an invalid for the past eight years, being tenderly cared for by his sister. His memory has failed to such an extent that he cannot tell much about his service in the Navy, and Mrs. McAuliffe? being so young at the time, knows but little of it.
