Notes:

Joseph was the son of Joseph John Malarky and his wife, Edith Elizabeth Elliott. He was one of two children born to the couple. He had a sister, Janet Marguerite.

According to his birth announcement, which I found in my grandmother's trunk in 1968, Joseph was born on March 11, 1916 at 6:50 PM. He weighed six and a half pounds. His mother gave his name as Joe Malarky Jr., but we know that his middle name was not John, like his father, but Arthur, so he wasn't really a "Junior." Whether he used the term Jr. is unknown.

On November 3, 1942, Joseph enlisted in the United States Army in Indianapolis, Indiana. His record shows that he was 5.8" tall and 166 lbs. at the time. This same document also states that he had one year of college and his civil occupation was either a lawyer or judge.

In searching the Indianapolis city directories on Ancestry.com, I located listings for Joseph. In 1942 and 1949, he is listed as a lawyer.

Like his father, Joseph went to Purdue University. He was in the Class of 1938. Joseph was also a member of his father's fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega. Pictures in the 1935, 1936 and 1937 yearbooks verify this. However, also like his father, I can't find whether he graduated or not. He is not listed in the 1938 yearbook.

As of this writing, I haven't found a marriage record for Joseph.

Joseph passed away on August 26, 1991 in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2008, I found a record of his obituary in the Arizona Republic, the date unknown. I wasn't able to read it online, but I found that a copy of that newspaper was held at the Hayden Library at the University of Arizona. I called, but couldn't get a copy of it from them. However, a man named Steve read it to me over the phone.

The obituary said that Joseph was 75 years old, living in Phoenix. He had been an insurance adjuster. The obituary went on to say he was a US Army Veteran and was buried in Resthaven Park West Cemetery in Glendale, Arizona on August 30, 1991. The man I talked to at the library said there was no mention of any relatives. That could mean he had never been married or had been married and divorced. As for any children, I don't believe he had any or they would have been listed in the obituary.

I then called the cemetery but they refused to give me a copy of his interment card in their records. I did find out that his location is Section 18, Block 59, Space 4.

Joseph's Find A Grave memorial is 29120094.

Notes:

First, let me state that there are several ways of spelling the name Malarkey...Malarky, Mullarky are but a few. Joe spelled his name without the "e", therefore, that is how I'm spelling the name here.

There is a discrepancy as to Joe's year of birth. His WWI registration card says he was born in 1889. The 1900 Census says he was born in 1888. However, his WWII registration says he was born in 1891. Since his tombstone says 1889, that's the year I'm using.

During the 1900 Census, Joe was living with Marguerite, Laura and Anna Malarkey. Their address was 634 16th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Marguerite and her two sisters were dressmakers.

That census states that Joe was the brother of the girls. However, his son stated in a letter to me that Marguerite was his grandmother. This would make Joseph Marguerite's son. Other clues point to that being true, including the recently released 1940 Census, where Marguerite is living with Joseph and is listed as his mother. Joe was born in Girardville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. On FamilySearch.org, there is an abstract of his marriage record. It states that he was the son of "Margaret Ellen Malarky and John Joseph Malarky." She could have married another member of the Malarky family, a second cousin, perhaps. However, I have not found a marriage record. And remember, in the 1900 Census, Margeurite is listed as single and Joseph is her brother.

Sometime between 1900 and 1913, Marguerite and her son moved first to Chicago and then to Indianapolis, Indiana. Marguerite continued her dressmaking business while Joe attended Manual Training High School, which later became the Charles E Emmerich Manual Training High School. He graduated in 1908 or 1909. During high school, Joe was a member of the basketball team, playing the position of forward.

Two references mention that he was enrolled at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. A letter from Howard Zellers, Rose Malarkey's son, stated that Joe graduated from Purdue. On the Purdue website, I found several pictures of Joe. Two are of him on the basketball team, of which he was a star member, I might add. Another is the picture of the "All Class Basketball Team" of 1911. Joe is wearing his class sweater, that of 1914.

Several newspaper articles at the time mention Joe. In the Indianapolis Star on May 22, 1913, it was reported, "Joe Malarky, Purdue's star forward, was today elected Captain of next year's basketball team."

Unfortunately, he was not able to fulfill that role. The "1914 Debris," the Purdue yearbook, states on page 217, "At the absence of Captain-elect Malarky from school, "Ollie" was chosen to lead the Boilermaker Quintet thru the 1914 season." This would have been Joe's Senior year, but he is not listed in the yearbook. Whether he ever received his degree is unknown as of this writing.

While at Purdue, Joe was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. The "1913 Debris" listed him as being on the "Board of Control," which had something to do with the Athletic Department. That same year he was a member of the Junior Class organization, as the PAA Representative. (Whatever that was!)

After Purdue, Joe continued playing basketball. According to several articles in the Indianapolis Star in November, 1915, Joe had recently joined the Em-Roe basketball team. After doing some research, I found this was a semi-pro team sponsored by the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Store in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their website says this about the team, "Much of the history of the store has been woven about the exploits of the famous Em-Roe basketball team which reigned supreme in the Midwest semi-pro basketball circles for almost a decade. Members of the rim said the team, which was organized in 1913, played through five consecutive seasons without losing a single game and won 118 consecutive contests in those five years. The team became known nationally. The team played throughout the mid-west until 1924 when it was disbanded. " A book is available regarding the semi-pro teams in Indiana during that time, "Pioneers of the Hardwood," by Todd Gould.

The Indianapolis Star on November 13, 1915 ran an article on the Em-Roe team, saying in part, "Joe Malarkey (sic) a former Manual star and later Captain of the Purdue quintet...was chosen for the All Western basket ball team in 1913."

Joe's WWI Draft Registration says that he had military training at Purdue. Maybe he was in the ROTC, if that was available at the time. That document states that he was tall and slender, with blue eyes and dark hair.

On New Year's day, 1914, Joe married a young lady named Edith Elizabeth Elliott. The wedding took place at the bride's parents' home in Indianapolis. I have included a newspaper announcement of their marriage in this memorial.

This announcement states that after the wedding, Joe and Edith were moving to California to live. They eventually did move to California, as that is where they died. But from their marriage until after the 1940 Census, they lived in Indianapolis.

In June, 1917. Joe registered for the draft of WWI. He, Edith and their 14 month old child were living at 3115 College Ave., in Indianapolis. The child mentioned was their son, Joseph Arthur Malarky, born March 11, 1916 in Indianapolis. At the time, Joe was workiing for the Wildhack Company as an automobile salesman. He is described on his registration card as being tall and slender, with blue eyes and dark hair.

On October 10, 1919, Joe and Edith welcomed a daughter to their family. They named their little girl Janet Marguerite Malarky. Joe continued to work for the Wildhack Company until 1924. He then opened a dealership with WH Ehrich, known as the Ehrich-Malarky Company. Advertisements in the Indianapolis Star show that they were chosen in to sell the REO. According to the newspaper, the REO dealership formally opened the week of December 14, 1924. The address was 927 N. Meridian, in Indianapolis.

Joe's WWII draft card, which he filled out in 1942, states that he and Edith were living at 5269 Park Ave., in Indianapolis. Their children were 23 and 26 years old at that time. It's unclear at this time whether either of the children were still living with their parents. Joe was working at Curtis Wright Corporation, an aeronautical company, located at 222 West Morris Street, in Indianapolis

We haven't found any information regarding a marriage of Joseph Arthur Malarky. Janet Marguerite Malarky married Charles McHugh. They had no children.

Sometime between 1955 and 1960, Joe and Edith finally moved to California. I found them listed in the city directory in 1960 living at 352 Reeves Dr. in Beverly Hills. Joe's aunts, Tay and Marion and Marion's husband Hector Gillis, lived nearby.

Joe passed away in 1965 and Edith in 1966. His cause of death was arteriosclerotic heart disease. Both Joe and Edith are buried in Forest Lawn in Glendale, California. Joe's plot is in the Garden of the Ascension, Lot 7810, Space 1.

His Find a Grave memorial number is 28796221.

Notes:

Marguerite Malarky was the 2nd oldest child of John and Mary (Joyce) Mullarkey. Marguerite was born in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on September 9, 1869. She was baptized 3 days later at St Joseph's Church in Ashland by Rev John J O'Reillly. Her sponsors were Edward Joyce and Mary L. Joyce. Edward and Mary L. must have been relatives of Marguerite's mother, Mary.

There are several questions regarding Marguerite. I think all of them can be explained by a bit of vanity, maybe some good business sense and in one instance, a sign of the times.

The birth date above is from Marguerite's Certificate of Baptism. Marguerite's Internment Order for her burial states her birth year as 1873. I've found that over her life, she seemed to use a birth date that made her about five years younger than she really was.

In the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census, her mother is listed as being born in Ireland. Beginning in 1920, Marguerite said her mother was born in France. Did she do this because she felt that would make her business more successful? Would her skills seem more glamorous if her mother had learned the trade in France rather than Ireland?

Marquerite is listed in the 1900 Census as living at 634 S. 16th Steet, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with her sisters Anna and Lauretta. Also living with them was a brother, Joseph, born in about 1888. Strangely, there is no record of a brother named Joseph being born in the family.

There is no record of Marguerite ever marrying. In fact, her Interment Order shows her name at death to be Marguerite Malarkey. However,in some newspaper articles, Marguerite is referred to as Mrs.

I found Marguerite listed in many Indianapolis city directories from 1906-1945. In 1909, she is listed as the widow of Fred Malarky. In 1912, he is listed as Fredrick. Marguerite listed herself as the widow of Joseph Malarkey in the 1935 directory.

In the 1900 Census, Marguerite is listed as single, and Joseph was her brother. Beginning in the 1910 Census, she is a widow. In 1940, she is living with Joseph and his wife and was listed as his mother.

A letter from a Joseph Arthur Malarky living in Phoenix, Arizona in 1977 states in part, "...my grandmother Marguerite...." Joseph Arthur was the son of Joseph Malarky, listed as both brother and later son to Marguerite.

I believe that Joseph was Marguerite's son, born out-of-wedlock.

According to her niece, Mary Malarkey Starner, Marguerite left Philadelphia for Chicago around the turn of the century. She became a dress designer with the exclusive establishment of Couturier, Inc., located on Michigan Blvd. The company was owned by the brother and sister team of Katherine and Harry Strickland.

In about 1903 or 1904, Marguerite left the Strickland firm to accept a position of head designer and manager of the Custom Made Dept. of H.P. Wasson Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. This was one of the leading department stores in the city.

Katherine Strickland and Marguerite remained close friends throughout the years. They traveled, usually in July and August, through Europe before attending the fashion shows in Paris in September. There are passenger lists showing Marguerite made trips to Europe after 1900. Passenger lists show she left Liverpool for New York at the end of her trip in 1904. According to her sister, Anna, Marguerite visited her sister Catherine (Kit) in Ireland, the first time being in 1904. This is perhaps why Marguerite sailed for home from Liverpool, instead of Cherbourg, France, like she did in 1906, 1907, 1908, 1910, and 1911. If there are records of her travels for the missing years above, I haven't located them as yet.

During one of these trips, Marguerite and her friend Katherine Strickland attended the "Passion Play" in Oberammergau, which is presented once every 10 years.

After WWI started, the European trips ended. The top Paris designers held their shows in the spring and fall in New York City.

In 1915, the last member of the Wasson family died and the store was sold. The new owners wanted Marguerite to stay on, but she had other plans. She opened her own business and continued to operate it until about 1939 or 1940. At that time the business became less profitable due to the impact "Ready to Wear" had made on the "custom made" establishments after WWI.

The Malarky establishment not only enjoyed the most elite clientèle of Indianapolis, but also of the state. A client of hers, Mrs. Charles (Harriette) Anthony of Muncie, Indiana made headlines by wearing diamonds in her heels to the Inaugural Ball of President Taft. Her gown was designed and made by Marguerite.

In 1913, Marguerite's sister-in-law (brother John Joseph's wife) passed away in New York City. The couple had two sons and a daughter. That daughter, Mary Malarkey Starner, wrote to me, "I might add that I was sent out to Indianapolis to what I thought was to be a visit with Aunt Marguerite whom I had never seen. As it was, it was to be a "permanent" visit which took place about 3 weeks after my mother died. I shall always be extremely grateful to her and her family for giving me the opportunity to enjoy a normal home life besides many other advantages in life. Without her kindness and generosity, I, too, might have been placed in a foster home." Evidentially, Mary's father didn't feel like he could take care of the three children after his wife died. The two boys were sent to foster homes and Mary was sent to live with Marguerite. Mary was 14, David was 12 and John Joseph Jr was only 8 years old at that time.

After Marguerite closed her business she went to California for about a year, visiting with her sisters Anna, Laura, Tay, Marion and Rose as they were living in California at that time. She returned to Indianapolis in about 1941 and lived with her son Joe and his family until her death in 1954. According to her death certificate, she died of "carcinomatosis, probably pulmonary." She was also suffering from arteriosclerosis. Marguerite's address at the time of her death was 4602 Guilford, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Marguerite was buried on April 26, 1954 at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Her plot is Lot 386, Section 66, Grave 1.

Her Find a Grave memorial number is 21853580.

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.

John's Find A Grave Memorial number is 21810001.

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

Mary's Find A Grave Memorial number is 21826545.
