Scanlon),Margarite(became a nun)I know very little about James and George
other than the whole family (McDermott) came from Spring Valley, IL and the
boys were coal miners, the girls followed "A" as my mother called her
(Eileen) into the city(Chicago) to become seamstresses. Where she met my
grandfather, Milton at an Irish social. Milton and "Scanny" worked for the
Illinois Central R.R. Milton came from Rome, NY he is of Welch background
had a mother that died young and had a stepmother (I forget her name,
although I know I have a picture of her) Are you related? to whom? My Uncle
Bill is still around and can give more information on Scanlons.
