Sister Helen Angela Hurley Helen Angela Hurley was born on March 4, 1897 to Susan J. Hopkins and Edward James Hurley in Tintah, Minnesota. She entered the Novitiate in 1919, and professed final vows in 1925. Hurley earned a bachelor's degree from the College of St. Catherine, and a master's degree from the University of Minnesota. She earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the Catholic University of America in 1938. Sister Helen taught high school at St. John's Academy (Jamestown, North Dakota), St. Joseph's Academy (Saint Paul), and at Saint Margaret's Academy (Minneapolis). She also worked at St. Joseph's Hospital (Saint Paul), the Academy of the Holy Angels (Richfield, Minn.), and at the College of St. Teresa (Kansas City, Mo.).

Sister Helen was the author of several books, including On good ground: the story of the Sisters of St. Joseph in St. Paul; John Shanley, Bishop of Fargo; and The Sisters of St. Joseph and the Minnesota frontier. She retired to St. Joseph Provincial House (Saint Paul), and died October 1, 1975. She is interred at Resurrection Cemetery, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.

It unclear if Hurley's biography of Archbishop Ireland was ever completed, although the collection does contain a manuscript that purports to be a last revision of John of St. Paul.

John Ireland was born in 1838 in County Kilkenny, Ireland to Richard Ireland and his wife Judith. The family emigrated to the United States in 1848, and arrived in Saint Paul in 1852. Ireland was ordained into the Roman Catholic priesthood in 1861, and served as chaplain to the United States Army Fifth Minnesota Regiment during the Civil War. He became diocesan bishop of Saint Paul in 1884, and the first archbishop of Saint Paul in 1888 when the see became an archdiocese. Archbishop Ireland died September 25, 1918.
