The photo I have chosen to post is of Mary's favorite brother-in-law, Robert Nov. 9, 1852- June 14, 1911.
In 1871, Jim and Judith's fourth son, Patrick, married nineteen-year-old Mary Ryan. Two years later, however, she died. The death occurred possibly in childbirth, and the child itself did not survive.
Patrick spent the rest of his life in the Niagara area, in Thorold and St. Catharines, where he married another Mary who bore him three girls and two boys. Their children were: Jenny Edith, Annie, Mary (Mayme), John and Matthew. I came to know Annie's two boys, Bob and Tom. Tom has seven sons of his own. Patrick Donnelly's son, John, died unmarried in 1945. Patrick's other son, Matthew, did take a wife, but the marriage lasted only for a brief period, and he, too, died childless.
