John S. Mahoney - Dugshaie, India - Fredonia, NY - Erie, PA
I am searching for any information regarding my G-G-Grandfather, John S. Mahoney. John was born during a British military campagn in India on November 8, 1869 to Jeremiah Mahoney and Hannah Murphy. He emigrated to the USA (probably from Ireland) and married an Ann J. Miller (1876-1895) in Fredonia, Chautauqua Co., NY. Ann died in 1895, shortly after the birth of their child, Mary Ann Mahoney. John left, leaving Mary Ann in the hands of her mother's family.
He married again to my G-G-Grandmother, Elizabeth M. Bremmer (1878-1951), probably in Fredonia, NY. They had two boys; Walter J. Mahoney (1897-1916) and my G-Grandfather Martin F. Mahoney (1899-1953). Walter died suddenly at work at a rather young age. It seems that the untimely death of Walter was too much for the couple and they performed what I have dubbed a "Catholic Divorce"... Essentially, they both stated that the other had died in order to keep their religious dignity.
John went on to marry a 3rd time on Sept 4, 1920 in Westfield, NY, this time to a Margaret Hassett (b.1870 in Warren, PA); daughter of Patrick Hassett and Johannah Connors. It is at this point that I lose track of John. It is indicated on the marriage certificate that they were living in Erie, PA. I have searched and searched for John's (or Margaret's) grave in the Erie, PA area, but so far, I cannot find anything definite.
I would really like to know where he was buried and any other tidbits I may not yet know.
