Henry O'Reilly was born in Carrickmacross, Province of Ulster, Ireland on Feb. 6, 1806 to a merchant and the daughter of a physician. In 1816, the family emigrated to New York. After working as an apprentice in the printing trade including several years as an assistant editor of the New York Patriot, in 1826 O'Reilly was appointed editor of the Rochester, NY, Daily Advertiser. Within a year, O'Reilly gained notice in the anti-Masonic uproar that followed the kidnapping and murder of William Morgan. In 1832, he was appointed Deputy Collector and Inspector for the District of Genesee, NY. He published numerous circulars and pamphlets on current events and issues, and in 1838 Sketches of Rochester, with Incidental Notices of Western New York. In that same year, O'Reilly was appointed Post Master of Rochester. From the 1830s through the 1850s, he was heavily involved in civic and political organizations, serving as the President of the Rochester Athenaeum and Young Men's Association, Recording Secretary of the New York State Agricultural Society, and Chairman of the Clinton League.
O'Reilly's commercial activities were similarly energetic and varied. In 1833, he threw his support behind improvements to the Erie Canal. In 1845, he contracted with Samuel F.B. Morse and Amos Kendall in the planned construction of telegraph wires from eastern Pennsylvania to the Great Lakes. Legal difficulties ended his involvement with the enterprise, despite his erection of over 8,000 miles of wire. In 1851, O'Reilly established the Irish and American Steamship Company; in 1854, he organized the Demoine Navigation and Railroad Company.
O'Reilly was married to Marcia Brooks, daughter of General Micah Brooks; they had one son, Henry Brooks O'Reilly, who was killed in the Battle of Williamsburg, 1862. Late in his life, O'Reilly changed the spelling of his surname to O'Rielly; additional papers of O'Reilly may be found under this variant.

Series XXIV: Items Added in 2022, 1819-1880, inclusive
Scope and Contents
The series holds 51 volumes of documents, primarily print matter, compiled by Henry O'Reilly. As of 2022, these volumes had not been inventoried, but were added to the finding aid at that time. Generally, all the subject matter in this series is an extension of that found in other parts of the collection and in other N-YHS collections of O'Reilly/O'Rielly documents.
36 of the volumes relate to telegraphs, including their history, legal matters, telegraph companies, and technical aspects. Several volumes of "Western Mementoes" hold print matter concerning, mostly, western New York. One of the Western Mementoes volumes concerns Iowa, specially the Demoine Navigation Company and Des Moines River.
One volume holds documents related to the Clinton League and railroad and canal developments in New York State; three relate to agriculture; one concerns various Civil War-related matters, including the death of O'Reilly's son; one concerns the press in western New York; and one relates to political anti-Masonry.
The container list for the series lists all the volumes. Titles in "quotations" are those used by O'Reilly. Those in [brackets] were given by the processing archivist.
Arrangement
The series is arranged by subject matter, beginning with volumes related to the telegraph. The telegraph portion is comprised of several "series" (e.g. "journalistic series") defined by O'Reilly. Other O'Reilly series (e.g. "agricultural series") are more directly thematic.
Each album was given a unique identifier (e.g., SN-1, SN-2) by the processing archivists. These are intended only to facilitate reference and are not indicative of any overall numbering scheme found in the collection itself.
Processing Information
The series was added to the finding aid in April 2022 by archivist Larry Weimer.
