James Jeffrey Roche
James Jeffrey Roche (May 31, 1847 – April 3, 1908) was an Irish-American poet, journalist and diplomat. Roche emigrated as a young child, and grew up in
Prince Edward Island, Canada. He came to Boston in 1866, and joined the staff of the Irish newspaper. He became editor-in-chief in 1890, and was a leading spokesman for Catholic intellectuals in New England. When most Democrats in the region deserted
William Jennings Bryan in 1896, Roche and the ''Boston Pilot'' gave Brian strong support. At the end of his life he was the American
Consul in Switzerland.
