Patrick "Tish" Maloughney (b. ~1883 Michigan; JJM's best friend + Chatham cousin of Aggie Kelly)
Also known as: Tish Maloney, Tish Maloughney, Patrick Maloughney, Pat Maloney
family confidence: 75 — strong
JJM's "best friend" per the 1907 Sagebrushers Diary party list. Formal name confirmed by his 1909 Silver Bow marriage license (B 2146) as **Patrick Maloughney** — the formal Irish spelling of the surname anglicized to "Maloney" in newspapers and the Sagebrushers diary. Nickname "Tish". Born ~1883 at Hurontown (or similar), Houghton County, MICHIGAN. Married Margaret L. Scully 3 Nov 1909 St. Mary's Church Butte (per the marriage cert reproduction in the inbox). **CHATHAM CONNECTION (2026-05-27 finding)**: Tish's mother is **Catherine Chatham Maloughney** — same Chatham surname as Mary Chatham Kelly (Aggie Kelly Murphy's mother). Almost certainly Chatham sisters (both Michigan-born, both married into Butte-Irish families). If so, Tish and Aggie are first cousins via their Chatham mothers, which explains the depth of the JJM-Tish friendship: Tish was already family-by-Chatham before the 1908 Murphy-Kelly wedding made the family tie formal through Aggie's side. Per existing newspaper clippings: 1909 Maloney-Scully wedding announcement; "successful alderman" Butte clipping; recurring in Butte AOH cluster. Career: met his wife at Hennessy's (where JJM also worked).
