Obituary:

HELEN BEATRICE MALARKEY

Longtime Staten Islander Helen B. Malarkey, 84, of Great Kills, a World War II Navy nurse who worked alongside her husband in his Great Kills practice, died Friday at home.

Born Helen B. Norkelunas in Montreal, Canada, she moved to Rochester, N.Y., with her family when she was 2 years old.

She earned a nursing degree from the University of Rochester, where she met her husband, Edward Malarkey, then a medical student.

When World War II began, Mrs. Malarkey was determined to join the fight, but was initially rejected from the U.S. military for having been born outside the country. Refusing to be denied, she made a personal appeal to the Secretary of the Navy, who acquiesced and gave her special dispensation. According to her family, Mrs. Malarkey became a Navy flight nurse, serving in the Pacific from 1943 until the war ended in 1945.

Upon her return home, she married Dr. Malarkey.

The couple moved to Westerleigh in 1946 and briefly lived in Prince's Bay before settling in Great Kills in 1955. There, Dr. Malarkey launched a thriving medical practice, with his wife working as a nurse by his side.

After 32 years of marriage, Dr. Malarkey died in 1977.

For the next 11 years, Mrs. Malarkey worked at what now is Eger Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, Egbertville. She retired in 1988.

Mrs. Malarkey was a parishioner of St. Clare's R.C. Church, Great Kills.

"She was really a remarkably thoughtful and generous friend," said her daughter, Margo Malarkey. "Her friends were just really touched by knowing her. She was also a fabulous mother, of course."

Mrs. Marlarkey was a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Richmond County Medical Society.

In addition to her daughter, Margo, surviving are two more daughters, Barbara Malarkey and Elizabeth Josephson; her two sons, Peter E. and Robert J., and a grandson.

The funeral will be tomorrow from the Casey-McCallum-Rice South Shore Funeral Home, Great Kills, with a mass at 11 a.m. in St. Clare's Church. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, New Dorp.

Notes:

John Mullarkey (also spelled Malarky and Malarkey) was born in Ireland, maybe in County Mayo or Sligo. His death certificate has little information. It does, however, say that the maiden name of his mother was Bonon. This could also be Bannon or Bohannan or O'Bannon. It lists his age as 64, which means he was probably born in 1845. However, the parish sh records say he as 69 at death, which would indicate he was born in 1840. The 1900 US Census says he was born in March, 1843. I'm using that because either he or his wife gave that info to the census taker. The dates from the death certificate and the parish records were given by others who might not have known his exact age at the time of his death.

According to John's granddaughter Mary Malarkey Starner, John sailed from Liverpool on the Tonawanda in 1864. Immigration records confirm this, saying he arrived in the port of Philadelphia on April 20, 1864. The lady John would eventually marry arrived on the same ship. Whether John and Mary Joyce knew each other before leaving Ireland or whether they met on the voyage to the U.S, we don't know as of 2007.

John Malarkey and Mary Joyce were married in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on Feb. 4, 1867. The witnesses were Jacob Munley and Mary Joyce. (probably her mother or sister-in-law.)

John and Mary had 9 children: Catherine Ada (1867), Marguerite Ellen (1869), John Joseph, (1872), Harry Francis Sr.(1874), Lauretta Veronica (1876), Marion Madeline (1879), Anna Veronica (1882), Rosebud Violet (1885) and Theresa (1889). Another child, Bridget, is listed in the parish register as also being born in 1876. I don't think she could be Laura's twin who did not survive because in the 1880 census, Laura isn't mentioned (when she should have been) but a Bridget is. It seems as if Bridget changed her name when she left home. Whether it was a legal name change is unknown at this time.

John and Mary moved to Girardville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania sometime prior to 1880. John worked in the coal mines in the area and later may have been a shopkeeper. They lived in the "Wild Cat" or "Wild Cat Run" area of Girardville.

On Feb. 21, 1909, John died by accidental drowning. A family story says it was raining heavily during the night and John went to the reservoir to open the flood gates. He fell in and drowned. Several articles about his death and funeral printed at the time say he drowned in a "mine breach." One account said that he was found floating in a dam 15 yds from his home. It also said that John was subject to epileptic spells and it was thought that during one of these spells, he fell into the dam.

Note: His death certificate says he died on the 21st and records at St Joseph's Catholic Church say the date was the 22nd.

High Mass for John took place at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Girardville on Feb. 25, 1909. He was buried in the old Saint Joseph's Cemetery with his wife, Mary, who had died in 1905. Parish records also state that he "drowned in dam back of house." Payments for his funeral were High Mass and Burial $11 and Grave Digging $4.50 and $1.50 for something unspecified, for a total of $17.

Note: Saint Joseph's Cemetery is completely overgrown. (see pictures)

On March 1, 1909, Letters of Administration were granted to daughter Rose (Rosebud) Malarkey.

Notes:

Mary Malarkey was born Mary Joyce in Ireland. (Another variation of the last name is Joice.) Her parents are unknown at this time. And, I haven't been able to find where Mary was born. Unfortunately, death records in the county weren't recorded until 1905 and church records don't list the parents' names nor the place of birth. The exact date of her birth is not known, however, the parish records say she was 62 at the time of her death. Given that, she was probably born in 1843. Her passenger list in 1864 states that she was 20, which would make her birth year at about 1843 or 1844. The 1900 Census says that she was born in January of 1843 or 1845.

Mary arrived in the port of Philadelphia on April 20, 1864. She had sailed from Liverpool on the Tonawanda. John Mullarkey was also on the ship. Whether he and Mary had known each other in Ireland or whether they met on the crossing, we just don't know. Also on the voyage was a Patrick Joyce and his family. Patrick was 40 years old at the time. He is the right age for Mary's father, but Mary was not traveling with that family. She is listed alone.

John and Mary were united in marriage on Feb. 4, 1867 in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The witnesses were Jacob Munley and Mary Joyce. (Probably her mother or sister-in-law)

John and Mary had 9 children: Catherine Ada (1867), Marguerite Ellen (1869), John Joseph, (1872), Harry Francis Sr.(1874), Lauretta (AKA Bridget) Veronica (1876), Marion Madeline (1879), Anna Veronica (1882), Rosebud Violet (1885) and Theresa (1889). Another child, Bridget, is listed in the parish register as also being born in 1876. I don't think she could be Laura's twin who did not survive because in the 1880 census, Laura isn't mentioned (when she should have been) but a Bridget is. It seems as if Bridget changed her name to Lauretta when she left home. Whether is was a legal name change is unknown.

Mary's husband worked in the coal mines in the area and later may have been a shopkeeper while Mary took care of the home and family. They lived in the "Wild Cat" or "Wild Cat Run" area of Girardville.

Mary died Nov. 1, 1905. Saint Joseph's parish records say that she died of "neuralgia of the heart." She was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Girardville after a High Mass on Nov. 4, 1905. These records state that the costs were: Lot $20, High Mass and Burial $11, Fence $2, Grave digging $4.50, for a total of $37.50
