September 14, 1918 -  Party!


Today Mary attends a birthday party for her brother and sister, Vincent and Gertrude.  She lists all the people who attended, including several people mentioned previously in diary entries.

Her brother Vincent O’Neill was born in 1893 in Pennsylvania.  He and sister Gertrude were twins.  Vincent and Mary were the only two of the O’Neill siblings who married.  Gertrude and the other sisters lived together on North 11th Street in Philadelphia at least through 1940.

Elizabeth (Bettie) Keefe also attended the party.  Vincent and Elizabeth later married and lived in Philadelphia where they had four daughters.  Vincent died of lung cancer in 1950. 
 
Another person who attended was Hazel O’Carr, who was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1895 and by 1910 was living in Philadelphia with her mother, father (who died later in 1910) and sister.  Hazel married George Hanna in the 1920s.  He died in 1975.  Their one son was born in California in 1930.  Hazel died in 1978 in California.
