He is one of two living children of a family of eight born to JEREMIAH and MARY (AHERN) FALVEY, the former coming to the United States in 1865, and dying in Winamac in about 1870, and the latter dying in the old country. MARK D. FALVEY resided in Ireland until 1848, when he crossed the Atlantic and found employment for a time on the public works at Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. The spring of 1852, he came to Springfield, Clark County, Ohio, and from there the ensuing fall to Winamac, Indiana. He was at the last named place only a short time; then went to La Fayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he remained two years. In 1854, he returned to Pulaski County and engaged in ditching.
