Brian, Thanks. I might ask later for your father's siblings to eliminate them from my search. As you noted earlier, there were/are a lot of McCarthys in the Boston area. Now, I don't want folks to think the eastern side of Washington didn't get damage. There continues to be over 10,000 in the Inland Empire (Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho area) without power and a number of structures damaged. It was just not as bad as the western side. Where I live the Huckleberry Mountains just to the west blocked a lot of the worst winds, so we lucked out.

Sue: My uncle Dan McCarthy (1876-1958) lived and died n Southie. He was the only one of my Dads's 13 siblings to live in Southie. He married Margbart Fogarty, of Canadian background. Their children's names were: Joe, Dan, Mary, Adelaide, John and Vincent. All but Vincent are dead. Vincent lives in San Bernardino, CA. One of John's daughters lives on 8th Street, and the Baxter St. address does not ring a bell, nor does the name Monaghan. Based on this, I do not see a close McCarthy connection. Of course, ALL McCarthys come out of Cork or Kerry. My conclusion is that there is not a workable connection. Glad to see you did not get decked with thqat storm. One branch of it is , as I type, coming in off the Pacific, about 20 seconds walk from this cottage. I'm heading inland to a Christmas party! :Brian >From: "Sue Richart" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [MASUFFOL] Boston Pronounciations >Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 15:06:33 -0800 > >Brian, >Which Southie McCarthy's are you familiar with? > >The sponsor of my grandmother to the US had a grandson named Joseph >McCarthy, born 20 March 1915 to John McCarthy and Josephine Monaghan. >Supposedly the birth occurred in Boston per his death record.

Brian, Which Southie McCarthy's are you familiar with? The sponsor of my grandmother to the US had a grandson named Joseph McCarthy, born 20 March 1915 to John McCarthy and Josephine Monaghan. Supposedly the birth occurred in Boston per his death record. I haven't found the marriage of John to Josephine, nor the birth of Joseph. As yet, I don't know what happened with John and Josephine, but Joseph McCarthy was living with his grandmother Mary Harrington in the 1930 census in Southie on 66 Baxter Street. Joseph McCarthy served in WWII as a fuel handler and most likely died of lead poisoning on 16 March 1946. He married Ethel McLeod in 1940 and had three daughters. Last my aunts knew, Ethel and the daughters moved to Florida and they believe Ethel remarried. My aunts recently gave me a pictures of John McCarthy, Joseph and his wife Ethel, and their three children. Are you familiar with this family? Sue Richart Chewelah, Washington State Thankfully, living in a part of the state that didn't get as much damage in the recent winter storm.

you can bet that most of us would never get that second chance. thanks. I did not know that info. joe

After the expulsion for cheating, EMK 'volunteered' for the draft and served in the Army. After that obligation was completed, he was re-admitted to Harvard and graduated, going on to UVA law school, whence he also graduated. You might ask whether such accomodation is ordinarily given to everybody expelled for cheating on exams but that is what happened.

Teddy Boy never graduated from Harvard. He was dismissed for cheating. He not only doesn't speak ' Dot, Suthy or Eastie, ' he does not speak for all of the commonwealth.

All of my Finnish Male relatives worked either as Stone Cutters, or in some other capacity in those Quarries, etc. and I remember my grandmother telling me, that even the headstone at my grandfather(later my dad and grandmother herself) grave, came from one of them. My grandparents and dad weren't Catholic, so they were all buried at MT Wallston. I do remember St Mary's Cemetery. I made my first communion at St Mary's Church (oh so many many years ago now).. My mothers family are all from Ireland, and most are buried in St Mary's but in Salem Ma, not Quincy. Others at Holy Cross, in Malden. From age 8 or so I grew up in Reading , now I'm in Boston(well might as well be-actually Brookline) I still can't convience my sister who lives on Cape Cod that Brookline is a separate town,. God Bless Barbara

Dear Robin: Thanx for your reply.I'm sorry but Bederman is not a name I am familiar with.

St. Mary's parish is a wonderful old parish. They have some of the most beautiful granite monuments in their cemetery, including an unbelievably beautiful granite column that must stand twenty five feet tall, cut for one of the monument dealers family plot. I like to walk around there from time to time. My G G G'parents, my GG'parents, one of their sons 9 Flu Victim), ... and my own parents are also buried there. The Willard school was turned into office condo's. Too bad. The City of Quincy now wishes it had kept the school and renovated it. They are in a bind trying to find classrooms for the bulging neighborhoods. Schools ain't cheap, first, to build, second to staff, and third, to supply, and lastly, to maintain. There still were some small quarries in operation, then, I believe. Most had closed by the war, but there were still several monument dealers and stone yards still in operation. Do you recall ? Joe

I lived in West Quincy from 1941 to 1949, with my parents, brother, sister and widowed grandmother. On Sumoni Rd first, and later on Town Hill Street. We then moved to Reading Ma leaving my grandmother in Quincy. We were in the St Mary's Parish, and I went for two years to the Willard Street School,(now either office bldg, or condo's I think). Barb

I grew up on Glover Avenue, North Quincy, down a bit from the Sacred Heart Church, born 1943, left in 1961 for the army. And you ? Joe

Hi Brian; I've been watching these posts with great curiosity!! My father grew up in the Boston area....1919-1945. He left after the war & married my mother moving to NJ. There are McCarthy's who married into that family....does the surname 'Biedermann' sound familiar to you at all ? I have family pictures of a Barbara & James McCarthy, brother & sister's school pictures from the 40's & 50's sent to my dad. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in 1984 before I began my genealogy research and I had very little contact with that side of my family. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have.
