As per his death certificate, his father's name was Friederich.

There is a discrepancy as to Albert's birth year. The 1900 Federal Census says 1848 but his deaqth certificate says 1849. The census is most likely correct, as that is what he told the census worker. (Unless that person wrote it down wrong.) You would think that Albert's death certificate would be correct; however, that information is only as good as the informant giving the information. In this case, it was Albert's second wife. Could she have been wrong?

Birth name should be Robert Eugene Brechner, but his father started using his step-father's last name of Grand, so that's how Robert ended up with that last name.

Catherine was the daughter of Peter Aloysius Sinnott Jr and his wife, Catherine Ada Malarkey.

Her parents were both born in the United States; Peter in Boston, Massachusetts and Catherine in Girardville, Pennsylvania. Peter was from an Irish family in who immigrated from Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland to St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. Peter's mother and father moved to the United States, first to New York and later to Boston.

After their marriage, Catherine's parents moved to Enniscorthy. It was there that daughter Catherine was born on September 27, 1901.

When Anna Malarkey Obenland, the elder Catherine's sister, wrote in a little notebook, "Catherine oldest child born Wexford died Wexford." she was writing about this little girl.

I have found Catherine's birth record, but not her death record. I believe she died sometime between her birth and 1904 in Enniscorthy and was buried on the Abbey grounds.

Catherine was the oldest child of John Mullarkey his wife, Mary Joyce. She was baptized at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on Nov. 27, 1967 by Father John J O'Reilly. Her sponsors were Peter Joyce and Mary Joyce. (Brother and sister-in-law? Cousin and his wife?)

Her family called her Kit or Kitty.

Catherine married Peter Aloysius Sinnott on Nov. 2, 1900 at the Church of the Transfiguration in Manhattan, New York City. One of the witnesses was a Mary Joyce. This could have been her mother, aunt, sister-in-law or cousin.

I received an abstract of their marriage certificate from the Church of the Transfiguration in 1979. I wasn't sure this was the correct document, as Catherine's birth place is listed as Shelby County, Tennessee. Her age is also off by nine years. However, the middle name is the same. The mother's maiden name is the same. The groom's name is the same. The groom's birthplace and parent's names are the same. His birth date is off by 5 years, but, on the marriage certificate, Peter's mother's maiden name was Katherine Breen. The Sinnots are buried in Dublin with an Ellen Breen. Could this be one of Peter's relatives? The date and place of the marriage is the same as what Catherine's nephew, Howard, had prior to my receipt of the certificate from the church. So, I have no doubt this is the correct marriage certificate.

Sometime prior to his marriage, Peter inherited the "Abbey of Enniscorthy," in County Wexford, so he and Catherine moved to Ireland. I found Peter's "Certificate of Registration of American Citizen" that he had to complete while in Ireland. It gives his date and place of birth. It also listed his wife and his two children who were living at the time. The paperwork stated Peter and his wife left the United States for Ireland on November 3, 1900. Note that this was one day after their marriage. They traveled to Enniscorthy, County Wexford, where they stayed until June, 1904. They arrived in Dublin on July 1 of that year. The Consular Certificate said they were in Dublin to settle an estate in the Chancery Court. This must have been the estate of the relative who had willed the Abbey to Peter.

While in Enniscorthy, they at least two children. This area needs more research. According to Anna, Catherine's sister, her notes say that their first child, born in County Wexford, was a daughter whom they named Catherine. Anna's notes also state that the little girl died there as well. Catherine's nephew, Howard Zellers, wrote in 1977 of "...a son Peter who died while they lived at the Abbey and was buried on the Abbey Estate. At the time of his death he was about two years of age."

On February 5, 2017, I emailed St. Aidan's Cathedral in Enniscorthy, asking for information on the births of the children born there to Peter A Sinnott and Catherine Malarkey. I received a response from a gentleman named Hugo Kelly. He had researched the baptismal records and found only two children: Catherine Eleanor, born on September 27, 1901 and Nicholas John, born November 18, 1903. Both were baptized in St. Aiden's. The was no mention of a child named Peter, nor was there a death recorded for Catherine Eleanor. Since the family moved to Dublin in 1904, she might have died there. However, Anna Malarkey Obenland, her aunt wrote that she died in Wexford. She is probably buried on the Abbey grounds there.

Nicholas was born March 18, 1903. He died on May 4, 1925 at the age of 22 and is buried with his family in Dean's Grange Cemetery in Dublin. Family lore says that he was imprisoned during the Easter Rising in 1916 and died either in prison or after being released. This doesn't sound correct, as Nicholas would have only been 13 at the time. These is an outside chance that he could have taken a small part in the rebellion, but I don't know how to find that out.

Eleanor was born on December 19, 1909 in Dublin. Unfortunately, she died when she was 10 years old, on Aug. 30, 1920. Eleanor is also buried with her parents in Dean's Grange Cemetery.

The 1901 Irish Census lists Peter and Catherine at 46.2 Templeshannon St, in Enniscorthy. This was a hotel, categorized as "1st class." The couple occupied one room.

Catherine's nephew also relates, "After having lived at the Abbey some time the Irish Government confiscated their estate under the Irish Land Reform Act. They were to be compensated for their land in the amount of about forty thousand pounds. Actually they received very little except for a small pension. After her husband's death, Katherine continued to receive the pension until her death. Katherine under dower rights only had a life estate following Peter's death."

The "Irish Reform Act" mentioned above was probably the Land Purchase Act in 1909. According to Wikipedia, the Act "extended the 1903 Act by allowing for the compulsory purchase of tenanted farmland by the Land Commission, but fell far short in its financial provisions." This sounds to me like the government ran out of money. Thus, as Howard said, Peter and Catherine never received all of their proceeds. Also note the word, "compulsory". Howard used the word "confiscated" but they mean the same thing. The Sinnotts were forced to give up their land.

The Ireland Census of 1911 shows Peter and Catherine living with Nicholas and Eleanor at 29.3 Sandwith St., St Mark's Parish, Trinity Ward, Dublin, Ireland. The four members of the family were all living in one room. It states that they had had three children, with two alive at that time. With this information, we can assume the son Peter must have been just a myth in the family. That census says that Peter was a "landed proprietor" and a landlord. The family was Roman Catholic.

Sometime in the early 1900's, Kit's sister, Marguerite visited the family in Ireland. It is said that she found them in "dire straights." Kit was dressed quite shabbily so Marguerite left most of her clothes with her sister when she left. Since Marguerite was a dressmaker and was in Europe for the fashion shows, the clothes must have been absolutely wonderful.

At the time Eleanor, Nicholas and Peter died, the family was living at 38 Denzile St. in Dublin. On 11 March 2014, I checked Google Earth. At that time, there was no Denzile St. There was, however, a Denzille Lane.

Kit died at the age of 80 years old on Jan. 25, 1947. At the time of her death she was living at 43 Fenian St. in Dublin. She was buried in Dean's Grange Cemetery in Dublin, grave 25 - F3- North. Her grave is unmarked.

Catherine is spelled with a "C" on her baptismal record in Pennsylvania and burial records at Dean's Grange Cemetery. On her marriage record and on Peter's Counselar Registration Certificate, her first name is spelled with a "K".

On their marriage records, Peter's last name is spelled "Sinnott." On his, Catherine's, and Eleanor's burial records the last name is spelled "Synott." However, Nicholas's burial record spells the name Sinnott.

Catherine's Find A Grave memorial number is 21867119.

Charles was one of 4 children born to Charles Joseph McHugh Sr and his wife, Elizabeth Catherine Crail. He had two brothers, George Walter, born on Oct. 31, 1910 in Chicago, Illinois and John Patrick, born in Indianapolis, Indiana on Feb. 7, 1916. The brothers had one sister, Ruth Jane, who was born in aug. 25, 1921 in Perry, Marion County, Indiana.

The family lived at 864 S. Belmont Ave. in Indianapolis for many years.

Charles married Janet Marguerite Malarkey on June 20, 1942. The small wedding took place in the Madonna Chapel of the Third Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. The couple had no children.

On July 2, 1945, Charles enlisted in the United States Army. He was 20 years old.

In one document, Charles listed his occupation as a designing engineer. In the 1940 census, he was an apprentice tool maker at an airplane motor factory.

Charles was the son of Karl (Charles) and Friedericka Bernecker Obenland. He was born in New York City in October, 1871.

He married Agnes Magee on October 25, 1893 in Manhattan County, New York. The marriage certificate is #13716. (Note: There is a marriage for a Joseph Lynn and a Delia Brady that has the same certificate number.)

In several issues of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Charles is mentioned as being a member of a group called The Silver Star Social Club.

The couple had two children, Agnes, born on May 4, 1894 and Charles A, born two years later.

The 1900 Census lists the family living on Surf Avenue in Brooklyn. Charles was working as an inspector for the railway. (Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, later the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit.) He worked out of the Culver Depot. The family actually lived at the depot for many years.

This is right in the heart of Coney Island. Imagine growing up there like the Obenland children did! They lived and played right next to the Dreamland Amusement Park, the Iron Tower, the Iron Pier and just down the street from Steeplechase Park and Luna Park, with its amusements and thousands of electric lights.

By 1920, the family had moved to 550 Surf Avenue. According to Google Earth, this is where the New York Aquarium now stands.

Charles was killed while working in Brooklyn on June 19, 1929. An article regarding his death appeared in the evening edition of the Syracuse Herald on June 20, 1929: "Angered because he was prevented from boarding a congested street car with his wife and two children, a powerfully built man struck a blow to the jaw of Charles Obenland, veteran inspector at West Sixth Street and Surf Avenue, Coney Island, which killed him. The assailant and his family escaped in the confusion." Another, more informative article was found in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Published on June 20, 1929, that article is included in this memorial. I have yet to find any information as to the identification of his assailant or if he was ever charged or prosecuted.

The Obenland family was living at 1427 E. 4th Street when Charles was killed. This home, still standing, is about 20 blocks from the beach at Coney Island.

Charles was buried on June 22, 1929 in the Evergreens Cemetery. Unfortunately, when it comes to this family, the cemetery records are inaccurate. Charles Louis is not listed on their website, but his wife and son are. They are listed under Obenland. I called the office and the clerk checked the plot book and in that they are all listed under Oberland. I went back and looked for Charles Louis on their website and he isn't listed under Oberland either!

Edith was born on November 29, 1891. She was the daughter of Canadian-born Thomas Henry Elliott and his wife, Agnes Amelia Boberg. Agnes was born in Sweden. They were married in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1889. Thomas worked as a painter for the railroad. There were two other children in the family; Arthur George and Selma Agnes.

On New Year's Day, 1914, Edith married Joseph John Malarky in a small ceremony at her parents' house at 1025 N. Arsenal Ave. in Indianapolis.

The couple had two children. They welcomed a son, Joseph Arthur, on March 11, 1916 in Indianapolis. Daughter Janet Marguerite was born three years later on October 21, 1919.

Joe worked for several car dealerships before going into business with W.H. Ehrich. They were the sole REO dealership in Indianapolis.

Sometime after 1955, Joe and Edith moved to Southern California. They lived in Beverly Hills, close to Joe's aunt and uncle, Marion and Hector Gillis.

Edith passed away on January 19, 1966. Her funeral was held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California in their Little Chapel of the Flowers. She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. She is with her husband in the Garden of Ascension, Lot 7812, Space 2.

Eleanor was the second daughter and third child of Peter Aloysius Sinnott Jr and his wife, Catherine Ada Malarkey, both of whom were United States citizens of recent Irish descent. She was born in Dublin, Ireland and died there as well.

The 1911 Irish Census lists Eleanor, living with her parents and brother, Nicholas, at 29 Sandwith St., in Dublin. This same census also says that all four of them were living in one room.

Unfortunately, Eleanor died when she was only 10 years old. She was buried in Dean's Grange Cemetery, where later the rest of her family would be buried. Her grave at 25-F3-North, is unmarked.

Her Find a Grave memorial number is 36159392.

Elizabeth Agatha Allen, daughter of Adelbert Robert Allen and his wife, Lula May Webber, was born on 11 Jul 1904 in Byron, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. The family ws living in Wichita, Kansas in 1910.

According to trees on Ancestry, Elizabeth married a David Raymond Malmborg and later went on to marry Stewart Byron Nye on 30 Sep 1934 in Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois. They lived for a time in Michigan and later Tucson, Arizona before settling in in San Diego County, California.

Elizabeth Allen Nye passed away on 20 Nov 1980 in La Mesa, San Diego County, California. According to her Find A Grave Memorial, number 105327488, her ashes were scattered off Mather Point at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Stewart Byron Nye was born 28 jan 1906 in Saint Joseph, Berrien County, Michigan and passed away on 29 Dec 1981 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon. His ashed were also scattered off Mather Point at the Grand Canyon. (F ind a Grave memorial number 105315163)

The only problem with this person being the wife of Charles W Kleinegger is that the only Census they are in while married is the 1925 Kansas State Census. This census states that Charles's wife was born in Kansas. When I tried to look at the actual document, the wrong page comes up on Ancestry. Further research is needed.

From Wikipedia:

's-Heer Arendskerke is a small village of approximately 1300 inhabitants in the municipality of Goes in the south-western Netherlands.

The settlement consists of two circles of houses around a Protestant church, on a single main road with an obsolete village hall. On the other side of the main road is a little industrial site called Eindewege (end of he road), containing tin huts and small garages. The remainder of the area is given over to fields for agriculture.

There is one primary school and one secondary school. There is also a GP and a nurse / physiotherapist.

The village also has a fire brigade unit with two trucks.

The Rijkswaterstaat maintains a winter depot here, with reserve stocks for dyke repairs.

There was once a railway station before the Second World War, but it was demolished in 1928.

's-Heer Arentskerke was a separate municipality until 1970.[1]

Geraldine was born in Los Angeles in 1915. Her parents were James Lee Huston and Emma Cecilia Bachmann Howe. (The Bachmann was Emma's name at birth; Howe was her last name by adoption.) Geraldine had one brother, James Francis Huston.

Geraldine's father was a traveling salesman and her mother Emma kept house.

Geraldine's brother James was a musician, playing trumpet with pal Phil Harris back in the 1930's in the Los Angeles area. (The Phil Harris who sang "The Bear Necessities" in the cartoon, The Jungle Book.) James, or Jimmie, as his family called him, committed suicide just off CA 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) near the Malibu pier in 1937. Back then it was called Roosevelt Highway.

Geraldine grew up in Southern California. At one time she lived on Beachwood Dr, in Hollywood, near the big "Hollywood" sign. She told her daughter, Cecilia, how they would go to the beach to a fancy place called the Edgewater Club. (Location unknown.)

Geraldine was married to George David Adamson on March 2, 1933 in Los Angeles County, CA. They divorced in 1939 in Los Angeles County, CA (#3180546)

On June, 30, 1940, Geraldine married Harold Edwin Obenland, of Los Angeles, in Yuma, AZ. There were two children from this marriage: Michael Edwin and Cecilia Ann. The couple made their home in Arcadia, CA. Geraldine and Harold's divorce was final on March 3, 1953.

During her lifetime, Geraldine worked as a bacteriologist, bookkeeper, drapery sewer and even a donut maker at Winchell's. Times were tough because both of her children suffered from severe asthma and it was hard for Geraldine to keep a job when she was always having to rush the kids to the emergency room.

At one time, in about 1962, Geraldine was out of money, so she wrote bad checks to feed her family. She was eventually arrested and actually taken to the jail in Arcadia, where she and her children lived. Her daughter can still remember the minute Geraldine decided to do that. They were walking home along Duarte Rd in Arcadia. Michael came to meet them and got upset when his mother said she had no money for food. Geraldine told her daughter, "I know what I have to do." To this day, Cecilia regards her mother as a heroine even though writing bad checks is illegal.

Geraldine always warned her two children about the "green eyed monster", and had lots of sayings that she used often. She would say, "Pride goeth before a fall" and "You can't get blood out of a turnip." She'd say this during hard times...unfortunately, the landlord couldn't get blood out of a turnip, but he sure could kick us to the curb! My favorite saying Geraldine used was, "That's a bunch of hooey!"

Geraldine died in a convalescent hospital in Monrovia, CA after a long bout with cancer. She was only 53. Her ex-husband, Harold paid for the funeral arrangements. During the funeral, he told their daughter, Cecilia that Geraldine was the only woman he had ever loved.

He might be John Wallace Price, born 9 24 1875. WWI Draft registration shows this man with his wife, Jennie L Price, living in Omaha, Douglas County Nebraska. (Sep 1918) Unfortunately, the document doesn't state where he was born. Also, this John was a salesman as was the John who married Emma.

I had conversations and correspondence with Donald and his wife in the 1970's and 1980's. He told me he was adopted. In July of 2008, I interviewed his sister, Mabel Lein. She told me that Donald's mother had him prior to her marriage to Fred Obenland. When Lillie and Fred married, he adopted Donald. Donald met his future wife in a Baptist Chuch he attended in Chicago. Ruth was working as a secretary at the church.

John Joseph Malarkey was the son of John J. and Mary Malarkey (nee Joyce). He was born in Girardville, PA on April 7, 1872. Like most of his family, he entered the world with his last name spelled Mullarkey. However, after the birth of his second son, John, the spelling was changed to Malarkey.

John's father was a coal miner and his mother kept house for their large family. John and his siblings grew up in Girardville, PA. John had one brother, Henry and 8 sisters: Bridget (Lauretta), Theresa, Marguerite, Marion, Anna, Catherine and Rosebud. His sisters called him Jack.

John married Mary Ellen Meade, of Limerick, Ireland on July 20, 1898. They were married in New York City. Mary Ellen's parents were John and Johanna Meade, of Limerick, Ireland.

John and Mary Ellen were the parents of 4 children, two boys and two girls. Their first child, a daughter named Mary, was born on May 16, 1899. On Aug. 22, 1901, their son David Joseph was born. A second son, John J. was born Jan. 21, 1905. Theresa was the 4th child of John and Mary Ellen. She was born on Oct. 26, 1909. Unfortunately, she died when she was 8 months old, in July of 1910.

All of John and Mary Ellen's children were born in New York City. They were all baptized in St. Joseph's Church, located on Washington Place and Sixth Ave. in New York City.

On his daughter Mary's birth certificate, John's occupation was listed as an engineer.

Mary Ellen Malarkey died on Oct. 3, 1913. About three weeks after her death, John sent his daughter Mary to live with his sister, Marguerite in Indianapolis, Indiana. The two boys, John and David, were sent to live with foster families.

John's brother, Henry Francis (Harry), his wife and 3 boys were living in New York City at the time of Mary Ellen's death. Today we wonder if John couldn't take care of his children after his wife died, why didn't his brother Harry and wife Julia take them in?

John Malarkey died about 5 years after his wife. We have no record of what John was doing during the time between his wife's death and his death.

John died of tuberculosis at St. Joseph's Hospital, in the Bronx in New York City on March 7, 1919. He was buried two days later in Calvary Cemetery, Woodside, New York. (Plot Section 43 Range 8 Plot B Grave 5)

He has no stone, as he is in a pauper's grave.

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.

Liz, Robert's sister said in an email, "Bob loved baseball and particularly the NY Yankees. He enjoyed sports, telling bad jokes and teasing his sisters. He played basketball in the driveway--sometimes during summer rainstorms (make that, downpours) which earned him the nickname, "The Monsoon" or "Monsoon Bob." He enjoyed beating me [Liz] at a game called "Acey--Duecey" which is similar to Back Gammon. he played video games. He impersonated televison celebrities. He blew into a conch seashell and could make it sing...a bit like a Norseman blowing a horn. This is how we always rang in the New Year. I miss him."

Louis, his wife and two children are listed twice in the 1920 Census. On 14 or 15 January, 1920, they were listed in Batesville, Ripley County, Indiana. Right after that, they moved to Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico, because on either 26 or 27 January 1920, they are listed in that city.

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.

Mary Ellen Meade was born in Limerick, Ireland. Her parents were John and Johanna Meade.

On July 20, 1898 Mary married John Joseph Malarkey. They were married in New York City, New York.

Mary and John had 4 children. Their first child, Mary, was born on May 16, 1899. A son, David, was born Aug. 22, 1901. John, named after his father, was born on Jan 21, 1905. The couple's last child, a daughter they named Theresa, was born on Oct. 26, 1909. Unfortunately, Theresa lived only 8 months. She died on July 16, 1910.

Mary Malarkey died on Oct. 3, 1913 at the age of 38. Her death certificate says at the top that she died at St. Vincent Hospital. Further down it states, "...and I further certify that I have this 3rd day of Oct, 1913, taken charge of the body of deceased found at 69 Carmine St. and that an inquest thereon is pending." It was signed by the coroner. It's unclear if she was still alive and then taken to the hospital where she died or if she died at home. The cause of death was "acute gastritis (not toxic.)

She was buried in Calvary Cemetery two days later. Her plot is Sect. 43, Range 8, Plot B, Grave #5. This was a plot in an area reserved for the poor. Her grave is unmarked.

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

Millville's first glass works were started in 1806 by James Lee. Lee originally named the factory Glasstown. The original factory made window glass, and it later expanded to making bottles in 1809, presumably vials and junk bottle (common Farmer bottles). James was the son of Francis Lee who came from Belfast, Ireland, to Pennsylvania.

In 1799 James Lee built a glass factory in Port Elizabeth New Jersey, which he called the Eagle Glass Works. He then left Port Elizabeth and established the factory here in Millville in 1806.
A gentleman from the early days describes Lee as a promoter who abandoned one newly established enterprise after another. Lucius Elmer describes Lee as "an active enterprising man, too spasmodic in his efforts to succeed well." By 1814 Lee sold his Millville factory to Gideon Scull. In 1814 he moved to Bridgeton and built a saw mill (originally planned to be a paper mill), a general store and a raceway from the new mill dam on the Cohansey river. In 1817 Lee and his family moved to Cincinnati after a short stay to Maysville, Kentucky. He died in New Orleans in 1824.

The bottle shown here was found on the site of James Lee's Glasstown glass works in 1984 by a backhoe operator friend of mine named Ed Fredricks.Ed was grading an area at the end of Buck Street near present day Rte. 49 behind the American Legion hall near the river for a future boat slip when a lot of broken glass cullet and other factory remnants were being found in large amounts.This bottle survived and is a very pretty pale aquamarine in color very typical of the sand from Cumberland county that to this day is some of the purest in the world.

A lot of the sand from here was shipped as far away as New England in the early 1800s. Ed has given me quite a few old bottles over the years as he is constantly digging foundations, swimming pools,sidewalks,driveways ect. I am very great full to Ed for all of the bottles I have received from him over the last thirty years.This bottle is very small for a vial standing just two and a half inches tall and three quarters of an inch in diameter.The walls of the glass are very thin but the flared lip is intact. I also have shards and cullet from the site I just cant seem to be able to locate them right now for this post.When I find them I will add them to this information.

In 1827, the company had three owners: Dr. George Burgin, Richard L. Wood, and Joel Bodine. Bodine left the company in 1829 and the company name changed to Burgin & Wood. With the addition of a new partner in 1833, the company?s name changed again to Burgin, Wood & Pearsall. At this time, the factory produced glass bottles using molds made out of clay.

Glasstown was purchased in 1836 by another company that changed the name to Scattergood, Booth, and Company. Following this transition of owners, Scattergood married a woman named Sarah Whitall. Sarah was the sister of Captain John Whitall, a major investor in the Glasstown factory. When Captain Whitall moved to Philadelphia with his new wife, Mary Tatum, he left the factory under his brother?s management. For the next three years, Captain Whitall?s brother, Israel Franklin Whitall, served as manager of the company .

By 1845 Scattergood no longer worked at Glasstown and the name was changed to Whitall, Brother, and Company.Israel Whitall became ill and ceased to work for the company after 1857 and a new partner a man named Edward Tatum became one of the owners. At this time, the company became Whitall Tatum and Company. The company quickly became very successful and additional space and buildings were needed and the company expanded northward up Buck street.. The company opened An office in New York and was managed by C.A. Tatum.

Whitall Tatum was one of the first glass factories to establish a laboratory. Here they tested different procedures and combinations of materials used in glass production . By 1899, business was booming and the Whitall Tatum Company had over four hundred employees at their Glasstown factory and over one thousand at their lower works division. As a result of their success, Millville, New Jersey became famous for glass working. I know the bottle could have come from anyone really over the last 175 years but it was found at the original glass works site and in an area which produced the same colored shards and broken tops like this one.This bottle also has a lean to one side.I wonder if it was a reject and sent to the cullet heap.
