    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Johnson,Fay,Mowrono(Romina),Rohn
    2. Monday April7, 2008 TroyRecord Article 100years ago Tuesday April 7,, 1908 “Agnes Johnson’s body was found at 1pm at the foot of the rear stairway at Mary (MAME) Fay’s establishment on Sixth Ave near Broadway. She was a dishwasher and cleaning woman. Two weeks ago, she went to the Second Precinct station to complain that her boyfriend, Antonio Mowroni also known as Antonio Romina, was beating her. She was advised to swear out a warrant the next morning but she never returned. A woman living at a Read Alley house frequented by Johnson tells police that Mowroni, brandishing a stiletto knife, announced to the woman that Johnson had jilted him and he would kill her if he found her. The occupant chased him away with a frying pan. About 1030 pm. Occupants of MAME Fay’s find Johnson’s body after hearing a knocking noise in the rear of the building. Within minutes, 2nd Precinct Captain Rohn orders his entire reserve out in pursuit of Mowroni. He boards at a house At Ferry and Fourth, but searching his room only turns up a stiletto in a satchel. Police say he has had considerable trouble with his countrymen and has likely left town. PS if you click on the below link it will take you to the Troy Record newspaper website.

    1. [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] St Mary's Orphan Asylum 1908
    2. Saturday April 5, 2008 TroyRecord Article 100years ago Sunday April 5, 1908 “Union College students and faculty demand ‘Summary Justice after accusing RPI students of vandalizing the Schenectady campus. The vandals have dumped a coat of paint on a statue dubbed’ the campus idol” and smashed the glass front of a campus bulletin board, using a revolver to shoot out the glass front. They remove the notices and scrawl”RENSSELAER” in pencil on their bare board. They also paint’rensselaer” on several campus buildings. Although there is a fierce rivalry this is unusual. The former home of St Mary’s orphan Asylum on Hill Street now houses some 200 Italian immigrants. The Record reporter describes in his article in 1908”Men and women alike are attired in their provincial way, having been in America too short a time to adopt our customs or perhaps taking pride in their native garb. Men wear slouch hats, corduroy coats and trousers, the bottoms of which disappear in high top shoes. Around their necks they display kerchiefs conspicuous on account of their bright colors. The women, always bareheaded, except when they employ little shawls to protect them from the storm, are also partial to gaudy colors. And their calico dresses are seldom of a delicate hue. Their bronze smiling faces bespeak contentment and happiness. While the women are employed caring for the numerous small children, or in washing clothes or attending to other household duties, the men who are at home may be seen on a pleasant day amusing themselves by pitching quoits in the alley in the rear of the big tenement or playing some other game which is more savory of the old country’s out door sports. They chatter like magpies in their excitement over their fun, and gesticulate quite as they would if they were in the midst of a heated dispute. Theirs is a life without worry or care, and apparently without ambition for anything further than a squalid room in which both to eat & sleep and some coarse brown bread and a pail of beer to put upon the table... **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?

    2. On the subject of Baseball in Troy, TIGS has been invited to set up an informational booth at the Bruno Stadium on 8/12/08 for their Irish Night......does anyone have any printed material concerning our Irish baseball players from the past? We could add that to our banner and indexs that we bring to this type of event. Would be great if we could get some membership attendance at the game for support and to draw some interest from the crowd.... Kris **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
