Biographical and Historical Notes
Jerome O. Herlihy was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware. His parents were both active in the Delaware Republican Party, and Herlihy's affinity for politics began at a young age. His father, Thomas G. Herlihy, Jr. (1904-1977), briefly served as mayor of Wilmington in 1945, before being appointed chief judge of the Municipal Court of the City of Wilmington. Herlihy's mother, Pearl Herlihy Daniels (1910-1994), was an alternate delegate to the 1952 Republican National Convention (RNC) in Chicago, Illinois. After one of the original delegates became ill, Herlihy's mother ended up attending the convention as an Eisenhower delegate. It was at this 1952 RNC Convention that Herlihy began to immerse himself in collecting buttons and following the politics around them.
Throughout his life, Herlihy maintained a connection to Delaware politics and law. He served as Chief Deputy Attorney General under former Governor David Buckson and was a chief legal advisor for former Governor Russell Peterson. He also served as an Election District Committeeman, a Representative District Committeeman, a Regional Chairman for Brandywine, a State Chairman in Delaware (1977-1985), and the Chairman of the Northeast Republican National Committee (1981). He was appointed to the Delaware Superior Court in 1989 by former Governor Michael Castle and served as a Superior Court Judge from 1989 until his retirement in 2013.
Herlihy collected political buttons and ephemera for most of his life. Although a lifelong member of the Republican Party, Herlihy made a special effort to collect from both sides of the aisle, and furthermore, his collection includes numerous items from third parties. Most of his collecting was done at national conventions. He also obtained buttons by writing to politicians who had recently run and asking them to mail him buttons. Herlihy enjoyed collecting the buttons himself, and frequently attended conventions until his appointment to the Delaware Superior Court in 1989.
