Hello, I am writing as I would love to know more about Mount St. MALLORY and
how it came about being called that. I've tried using the search engine but
I'm not getting very far and I'm hoping that you will be able to point me in
the right direction.
I have Charlotte M. CALLIHAN (Collihan?) married Ebenezer W. PRATT.
daughter: Margaret Lucy PRATT m. Oscar E. PRATT
daughter: Charlotte M. PRATT m. Guy Harvey MALLORY
Charlotte and "Harv" are my Grandparents-Nana and Papa!

Subject: [CALLAHAN-L] Tom Callaghan of Chicago: I lost your message!
Can you repost or fwd it to me? Chicago Callaghans.
I had a duplicate message and I deleted one after scanning quickly ....
and a few
minutes later the other one disappeared, too!
I am the oldest one left here, which is why I had time to start family
research, I
guess .... all the in-laws died in their 40s and 50s .... and
they never saw or talked to any of their cousins ... or wanted to see or
talk to them .... while they were alive. Very unlike my own gregarious
Irish family that couldn't get enough of visiting back and forth!
Julia Callaghan was my husband's grandmother ..... she was born in
Chicago, we
think .... not certain, maybe brought here very young ..... her
mother died very young in Chicago and Julia was pretty much raised in a
boarding school in Dubuque, Iowa by the Sisters of Charity BVM, perhaps it
was more like an orphanage in those days, Clarke College now .... after
Julia died, her husband also sent his two youngest daughters there to board
.... and later, two of Julia's other 11 children became BVM Sisters.
On 10 June 1891 Julia Callaghan married Tommy Greene in Chicago and I'm
about
to send for the marriage certificate, as I just got the date this week
off the Cyberillinois web site.
After marriage to Tommy Greene, Julia lived in Rogers Park on the far
north side,
but I was suspecting she had been a southsider as that's where I
was finding all the Callaghans in Chicago. Tommy headed the north side
local of the street car conductors' union and worked from the northern
terminal of the street cars, which is why they had to live north.
EITHER Tommy or Julia was from County Waterford, near a convent or
religious abbey
called Mount St. Mallory, which family members of my
generation had visited in Ireland.
Interesting, you mention adding and dropping the O'. I set out to find
Julia
as O'Callaghan, because that was my recollection of what my
mother-in-law had said .... but I couldn't find anything. Then when I
searched in the Illinois Marriage Index with just the Groom's name alone,
she came up but as Callaghan, without the O'.
