I am not related - this is part of a transcription project.... The Woonsocket Call is still in business, a daily newspaper.
from "Printers and Printing in Providence, 1762 - 1907"
prepared by a committee of Providence Typographical Union #33 as a souvenir of the 50th anniversary of its institution
printed in 1907
"The Journeymen"
p. LXI.
"ANDREW J. McCONNELL - Born West Chester, Pa.; began to learn printing in New York city in 1874; admitted to Providence Union by card Sept. 27, 1891. He came to this city from Brooklyn, N. Y., with Mr. and Mrs. John L. Heaton, founders of the Providence Daily News, and was its first foreman. Toward the end of 1892 there was a lock-out of the Union force in the News composing room and Mr. McConnell lost his position thereby. Shortly after he went to Woonsocket and became interested in the Evening Call of that city and is now part owner and managing editor of that successful paper."
