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.
