Rev. Martin Murphy (b. 1830 Ennis) p. 323
Brief biographical sketches of the deceased bishops and priests who labored in the diocese of Pittsburgh; from the earliest times to the present. By the Rev. Andrew Arnold Lambing

Rev. John Aloysius O'Rourke p. 139
Rev. Patrick B. Halloran (b.c. 1845 Broadford, d. 1871) p. 262
A history of the Catholic church in the dioceses of Pittsburg and Allegheny from its establishment to the present time. By Rev. A.A. Lambing. Publication Info: New York : Benziger brothers, 1880.

The third screenshot below is a bit truncated, as the description starts with a non-Clare priest who preceded Fr. Martin Murphy at the involved church, and then finishes with a description of Fr. Halloran, for whom (due to size limitations) I show only the first part.
