[edit] Biography
Tumulty was born in Jersey City, New Jersey to Philip and Alicia[1]on 5 May 1879.[2] He attended St. Bridget's school and graduated from Saint Peter's College, New Jersey in 1901.[1] Tumulty was active in Democratic state politics in New Jersey. He served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1907-1910. He acted as an advisor to Woodrow Wilson in his 1910 gubernatorial campaign. He then served as Wilson's private secretary in 1911, when Wilson was Governor of New Jersey and from 1913-1921 when Wilson was President of the United States. This position would in later years become the White House Chief of Staff. In 1916 after Wilson's reelection, anti-Catholic sentiment from his wife and from his adviser Col. Edward M. House caused Wilson to fire him, until intervention by his former student David Lawrence caused him to be reinstated. He is buried in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Rockville, Maryland.
