JOHN
HENEGAN, born in Scotland, in the year 1833, died in
Olathe, Kansas, September 19, 1877, aged forty-four years.
The subject of this sketch, with his father's family,
came to Mt. Vernon in 1853, and resided here until his death.
For nearly two years Mr. Henegan was confined
more or less to his house by disease beyond a physician's
healing part. A short time prior to his death he visited
Olathe to close up some business in that place. He lived
to finish that business, and then passed away from earth as
calmly and as quietly as a child slumbering the sleep of
innocence. During the last few days of life he named many
of his Mt. Vernon friends, wishing they were with him to soothe
and cheer him in his declining moments, the end of which he knew
was fast approaching.
From early youth Mr. Henegan, devoted himself to
railroading. The last of such work was on the Cleveland,
Mt. Vernon & Columbus railway, to the interest of which many
years of his life were devoted.
In 1867, in company with his father, he took the
contract of constructing a canal around the Des Moines rapids,
one of the greatest undertakings of the kind in America.
Other hands have just completed this great work.
In the fall of 1874 he commenced work upon the new
infirmary building, and brought it nearly to completion.
This building is the most substantial of the kind in the State,
and an honor to the county, and also to the State.
At the age of sixteen years, the subject of this
sketch, with his father and mother, together with the rest of
their family, left Glasgow, Scotland, September16, 1849 -
Liverpool, England, Sept. 18th, and arrived at New Orleans,
United States of America, on the twentieth day of December
following; thus the voyage, between the port of departure and
the port of disembarkation; appears to have been thirteen weeks
and four days in duration. To vary the interest, and to
add to the perils of those "who go down to the sea in ships,"
the vessel, upon whose deck the lives and fortunes of the hardy
emigrants were placed, was cast away in a storm, and thrown upon
the shores of an island now called Concon, situated near the
barren coast of Yucatan, Central America. The passengers
and crew were detained twenty-eight days upon that island.
During their forced residence upon the island, the
passengers and crew, imitating the people of the country in
which most of them were seeking a new home, organized a
government and made laws for their own protection, and
unanimously elected Mr. William Henegan the first
governor of the State of Concon, Central America. The
necessity of this organization was soon apparent.
The island of Concon, for its favorable and safe
harbors, was one of the favorite rendezvous of the piratical
vessels making those waters their cruising grounds. One of
those sea rovers passing the island, the captain seeing the
wrecked ship of the emigrants, determined to take position, and
rob it of all the rigging and stores left upon it, (the
passengers and crew, while waiting for rescue, living in tents
upon the shore).
To allay suspicion, the pirates also landed, and
pitched their tents a short distance from the shipwreck, as
though they wished to rest awhile from their bloody and
murderous career. One of the crew of the wrecked ship,
wandering over the island one day, being weary from his long and
difficult tramp, threw himself down behind some rocks and fell
asleep. How long he had remained in that unconscious state
he knew not. He was finally awakened by hearing voices in
conversation, apparently immediately above him. Listening
for awhile, he gathered enough of their conversation to convince
him that the voices belonged to some of the crew of the
piratical vessel, and that the rascals were detailing to
themselves their plans for attacking the unfortunate voyagers
and sacking the wrecked vessel. After the departure of the
loquacious pirates, the sailor made his way to his own camp, and
detailed the plot of the pirates to Governor Hanegan.
After a consultation with his council, the governor
formed his plans for retaliation, which were to capture the
pirate vessel and put to sea with his little colony. This
was "carrying the war into Africa," with a vengeance, yet, under
the circumstances, was perfectly justifiable.
The governor's plans were well laid, and would have
been successfully carried out, had not one of the passengers
betrayed the governor's plans to the pirate chief. The
pirates immediately struck their tents and began their retreat
to their boats and thence to their vessel. In the melee
that ensued, the pirate captain was wounded so severely as to
compel his crew to take him upon their shoulders. In this
condition, with their helpless captain, the pirates reached
their boats and made for their vessel. When upon her deck,
they hoisted sails and put out to sea, leaving eh shipwrecked in
possession of their diminutive republic.
