Hi, Peggy. What street did your grandparents live on? Do you know if the school was torn down or what happened to it? Thanks for sharing your story. It's little tidbits like yours that make this research so interesting!

Terri, My Grandma Dee lived at 155 Moosic Street and my Driscoll grandparents lived off Lane Street at 703 Barrett Avenue. My family settled in Jessup in the 1850's and were there for over 100 years. Sadly, none of my close cousins live there now. My Aunt, Margaret Dee Fagan, died in 1997 an she was the last one there. I know you and I have corresponded before.
