Thank you for posting the memorial for Joseph McGinn at Find A Grave. Joseph was my great grandfather (my mother's grandfather). Here is his birth date if you're interested - December 27, 1872 (Philadelphia)... It means a lot to know someone would take the time to remember him like you have. Bob Bonner
