G3: Henry O'Grady and Josephine McCallion by Thomas O'Grady

 Some pics that should not be lost! 

Wedding day, Dec 1 1945



Honeymoon pics? 





Their two fathers, James McCallion on left (died 1954), Martin O'Grady on right (died 1971). This is at Carol Ave in Yonkers.

Interesting mix of folks in this pic. That is Martin O'Grady on the couch. Immediately behind him are 4 of the McCallion brothers (Jimmy? George, Eddie? Chick), while in the back (white shirts) are the O'Grady brothers: Frank, Henry, and John



Josephine Mary McCallion circa 1928 (pic from Katherine O'Grady Reilly):



This is Josephine's brother Joseph William McCallion, who died in July of 1922 during a diphtheria epidemic. Josephine never met him, although she was named after him. 



The writing reads: "Joseph William McCallion. Born in Ireland 1912. Died July 1922 USA with Diptheria. May his Soul rest in peace. Heartbroken Mother. Buried in his Confirmation Suit."

Another pic from the Sherwood 50th (from Martin page). This is more McCallion clan:

Front: Thomas (with Patches the dog), Terrence, Martin (with full Dubliner's beard!)
