Notes
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.
