Timothy E. Treacy

It's something to be able to get oneself born on Washington's birthday. You know, a day off every birthday, parades, patriotic fetes 'n' everything! But February 22 is no holiday back in Ireland, either now or in 1862 when Timothy E. Treacy was born in County Limerick. Which may be the big reason why Treacy trekked just as soon as he could to the United States, where his natal day is also a national holiday.

Anyhow, you've heard the crack: "He took his parents by the hand and led them to the new land." In Treacy's case, it is the truth. In 1876 when he was fourteen, he brought his mother to San Francisco, where they joined his brothers, Ed and John.

Ed was construction foreman for the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, the then Donohue road, and had his eye on a ranch in Marshall, on Tomales Bay. The Indians had killed the owner, MacKnight, but that didn't bother Ed; he knew he could pick up the place at a bargain from MacKnight's survivors, and he thought it would be a nice quiet place to park mother and youngest brother. San Francisco was too wild for the greenhorns.

So there Tim went with his 45 year old mother to start tilling the soil of the new world. But when he found that the price of eggs "wouldn't pay for the wear and tear on the hens." Tim decided there wasn't much profit in chicken and cauliflower raising.

Back in San Francisco, because brother John was a member of the Emmets beat the Cornishmen at marks- mental flag boy of that Irish military outfit, and went with the Emmetts to Carson City in 1879 to compete with the Cornish Washington Guards. Those were the days of the Ophir, Con., Virginia, Best and Belcher, the heydey of the Comstock Lode. Not only did the Emmetts beat the Cornishmen at marksmanship, skirmishing and other military drills, but one of their number, Bugler Sexton, a veteran of the Civil War, went down into a flooded mine at the end of a rope and brought up two men, one after the other, dead. Sexton and the Emmetts were the heroes of Carson City, the motif for treats at every bar — and bars were everywhere — so poor Sexton wasn't able to draw a sober breath for the remainder of that historic stay.

In 1886, when he was 24 years of age, Treacy became a deputy sheriff of San Francisco county. In 1892 he was deputy superintendent of streets under Assessor Jim Nealon and in 1893 he went into street construction as a business with Jim Flinn, who had graduated from St. Ignatius and was working in Nealon's office.

In 1897 Tim Treacy was elected to the State Assembly and there fathered two bills which became California's first minimum wage and maximum hour law. At the time $1.50 was the average day wage and you could work as long as the boss willed. Treacy's bills set a minimum of $2.00 a day for eight hours of labor.

But even after they were passed by Assembly and Senate, Governor Jim Budd hesitated to sign the act and it took all Treacy's personal prestige and physical vigor to browbeat Budd into wielding his pen.

Another of Treacy's bills would have set a price of 5 cents for a loaf of bread weighing one pound. Like business under NRA, so the bakers then objected to price fixing. They agreed to clean up their bakeshops, put in concrete floors, rid their basements of rats - and the concomitant peril of bubonic plague - if the price fixing feature were forgotten. So upon this sanitary compromise, the law was passed.

In 1899 Treacy aided in the drafting of a charter for the city. His wage and hour law was included as a funds mental with the pay set at $3.00 minimum instead of $2.00. He was also instrumental at that time in getting for the city a full-pay fire department in lieu of the part-time organisation upon which the city had previously depended.

By 1901 he found himself' president of three different organizations: The Cleveland Cadets of 600 members; the Young Men's Institute, No. 89, and the Excelsior Club, one of the major social groups of the then South of Market district.

The rules of the Excelsior Club were short and not sweet. To gain admission, a neophyte had to box two rounds with any opponent the club selected. And if the president of the couldn't find a fit or willing opponent among the membership, then said president himself must box the newcomer!

Treacy was elected to the State Senate in 1930 to till the short term from 1931 to 1933. And there with Senators Tom Maloney and Tallant Tubbs, he strongly backed Senator Roy Fellom's enabling act which put the state for the first time upon the road to building the Oakland-San Francisco Bay bridge.

Today at 75, Treacy is hale and virile. He has six children and six grand-children. And he likes to recall that one of his Senate bills gave back to the city the Channel street tideflats a mere gift of $300 000 from the state!

Past president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, he has kept in tune with the old land and the new. Member of the Democratic County Committee, he is in step with the New Deal. Born on Washington's birthday, he has served, and intends to continue to serve his country well and patriotically,

The general committee sustained the objection, and sent the matter back. At last night's meeting Redmond received fourteen votes, and his opponent, J. J. Lane, nine. Treacy was chosen over W. A. Asmussen by the same vote.

TREACY, EDMUND J. CDR. USN (RET.) October 1, 1923 to April 12, 2007

Edmund "Jerry" Treacy of Solana Beach, CA, passed away peacefully at his home attended by his children; he serenely joins his loving wife, Loretta, who preceded his passing 17 months earlier. Jerry, 83, leaves a brother, Tim Treacy of San Francisco and five children: Sandra Treacy (Robert Bunker), Jann Gould (Robert), Jeremiah Treacy (Rebecca), Kathleen Glaser and Rev. Jack Treacy, S.J., and grandchildren: Daniel Bunker, Katie and Michael Treacy, Nick and Ellen Wright and Ryan Schooley; niece Kathy Cooper and nephew Bobby Treacy.

Born in San Francisco to a family of Irish heritage with roots in The City's politics and construction, Jerry was the eldest of three brothers. He attended St. Ignatius College Preparatory and the U.S. Naval Academy. Upon his graduation in June of 1945, he married his sweetheart, the very elegant Loretta Mae Cleary of San Francisco. Jerry attended the Submarine School, New London, Connecticut, (his last command, the USS Capitane received the coveted Navy "E" commendation) and was stationed in Panama, Key West, Charleston, Monterey, Greece, Annapolis, and San Diego. While at the Naval Academy, Jerry taught engineering to the famed Navy Quarterback, Roger Staubach. The family settled in San Diego where he retired as a Commander and pursued his second career in the aerospace industry as a systems analyst with Lockheed and Rohr Corporations. A world traveler in uniform and command, Jerry has probably seen more of the world from both the ocean and the mountains, having climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro along with the difficult Peruvian range. Jerry loved people, cultures and the planet and trekked through Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Amazon. Notably, long before the now-popular trend in cycling, Jerry hopped on a borrowed bike and peddled from San Diego to the tip of Baja, covering about 100 miles a day. Many residents and surfers of the Solana Beach community know Jerry as "The Walker" with his inimitable gait who made his daily route down Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Fletcher Cove, where he swam every day (without a wetsuit) until age 75. A member of the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and active member of the St. James Catholic Community, Jerry volunteered his time and energy through the years to help tutor math to middle school students and also taught English as a second language. Truly an officer and a gentleman, contributions in his honor may be made to San Diego Hospice, 4311 Third Avenue, San Diego, CA 92103.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated, Tuesday, April 17th, at 11:00 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church, 625 S. Nardo, Solana Beach, CA. Jerry will join his loving Loretta in a private burial in Mission San Luis Rey Cemetery. El Camino Memorial Encinitas Chapel is in charge of arrangements.

Timothy Edmond Treacy (June 4, 1932-October 5, 2015) Tim passed away peacefully and with gracious love at the embracing and caring Coming Home Hospice in his beloved San Francisco. Preceded in death by his brothers Edmund Jeremiah Treacy II, and Robert Timothy Treacy, Tim leaves a family of nieces and nephews notably in San Francisco, San Rafael, Santa Clara, and San Diego; Sandra Treacy (Robert Bunker), Edmund Jeremiah Treacy, Jr. (Rebecca); Kathleen Glaser, and Rev. Jack Treacy, S.J; Kathleen Treacy Cooper (Mark) of Washington state and Robert (Bobby) Treacy, Arkansas; Tim will be missed by great nieces and nephews Daniel Bunker (Kathleen McCabe), Nicholas Wright, Ellen Wright, Katherine Treacy, Michael Treacy, Ben Cooper and Jennifer Cooper; Amber, Arlene and Riley Treacy. Tim was a 3rd Generation San Franciscan and hailed from the Forest Hill neighborhood. The youngest of three sons to an Irish family steeped in San Francisco politics and construction, Tim attended Saint Ignatius College Preparatory (1950), received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University, 1954, and then his law degree from Stanford University. After law school, Tim pursued a successful private practice and then joined the CA Public Utilities Commission as principal counsel (specializing in telecommunications law) and argued cases before the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court. While Tim's extremely keen intellect was rooted on legal terra firma, Tim pursued a life of adventure that included mountaineering on a level that required the stuff of grit and expert skills: he loved Nepal and the Himalayas (having climbed the base camp at Everest), the Alps, and scaled the peaks of the Pyrenees to Mongolia. He hiked to Vale of Kashmir, climbed Kilimanjaro, Denali in Alaska, and picked his way up the celebrated 22,000 Aconcagua Mountain in South America. Proudly, Tim was also an avid Tahoe skier who moved from downhill to cross country skiing and finally to snowshoes, and competed nationally and internationally; a member of the Worldloppet Ski Federation -- "The World Of Marathon Skiing" - Tim's Worldloppet Master accomplishment concluded that he was among the early skiers to complete a series of very long distance cross country races in many locales. The Swedish Vassaloppet at 90 kilometers is cited showing the athletic nature of the event. Tim was a member of the Far West Nordic Ski Education Association, Auburn Ski Club, and kindly sponsored European racers to come to the USA to do the Birkiebeiner in Hayward, WI. After he took off his skis he put on his running shoes and then when he wasn't competing in marathons, he found time to travel: the Arctic was a favorite, his meeting the native Inuit, and trekking across ice, thrilled him. Tim never met a frozen tundra he didn't like. Global travel aside, Tim loved a dinner of conversation, opinions, lively and frank point-counterpoint, and had a deep and knowledgeable love of history and could explain any historical trend or event, from the succession of the Stuarts to the carving up of the Middle East after WWI. Our dear Uncle Tim was a one-of-a-kind who experienced more of the world than most. As a 50 year plus member of the Olympic Club, Tim hosted many of our family Christmas and Thanksgiving Celebrations. We miss him and will not see his like again. A memorial mass and celebration of Tim's life will be held at St. Brendan's Church, San Francisco, Tuesday October 27th at 11 am with a reception immediately following. The family requests that in lieu of flowers contributions in Tim's memory be made to Save the Bay, Sierra Club of California, Truckee Donner Lands Trust, and the Eastern Sierra Land Trust.

Treacy in Ire-- SF 1880's-present

I am looking for any family history on my great-grandfather, Timothy Edward Treacy, b.Feb. 1861 in Limerick, Ire; d. 26 April 1946 in SF, CA.

He came to SF in the late 1880's/1890. He married Delia Finn/ Flinn (b.Jan. 1867) and they had their first child, Elsie (Mrs. Casey), in July 1889. Other children were Edmund (b.5 Nov 1981; d. June 1966), Milton (b. July 1892; d. 16 Aug. 1969), Amy (Mrs. Tuerck) (b. Oct 1893; d. date unknown), and Harold (b.Dec 1898, d. 5 Aug 1985), And Irma (b. June 1901; d. June 1982).

Timothy had a brother who worked for the railroad in the northern SF Bay Area, and later his mother came out to SF.
