    Keith McGuire shows him as a "Foreman, Water Department."

    In September, 2014 Craig Kelliher emailed: "John A Kelleher married Abbie E Sullivan, probably in Massachusetts prior to 1918, when first son, Patrick Joseph, (my Grandpa Joe) was born. Both John and Abbie emigrated from County Cork, Ireland. John was one of ten surviving children of Patrick Kelleher and Mary Lyons of Beenalaght, Co. Cork. John and second wife, Ethel, are buried next to one another in All Souls cemetary on Cherry St. in Long Beach, CA. This corroborates that Patrick Joseph, Bill and Jim were stepchildren of Ethyl. Uncles Bill and Jim were USC graduates and "confirmed bachelors" who ran real estate and escrow business in LA area. Grandpa Joe worked oil fields in WY then worked for the City of Signal Hill in Long Beach, CA. Joe's 98 y.o. widow and youngest son survive today."
