The Irish Serve In America!

The Irish immigrated and then were willing to serve in the American Armed Forces.  Here is a picture of my grandmother with one of her sons and two of his cousins, who served in the Army and the Navy.  My father and all three of his brothers served in the US Navy.  Hopefully, I can find a picture of all of them in uniform.

Losing the Murphy Pot!

 This picture shows my grandmother, grandfather, great uncle and second cousin planning to build a bathroom in their house on Letterly Street in Philadelphia.  The outhouse in the back is no longer there.  My father told me they used a Murphy Pot when the weather was bad.

This plan was the pot’s demise!

 Sorry to all the Murphy’s out there!
