It is unknown by me at this time just which Toohey family my Cornelius belongs.
What is known is, my paternal grandmother Ogle Toohey Chamberlin was one of four daughters of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Lizzy) Anderson, Iowa City, Iowa. Lizzy died young which Cornelius had difficulty recovering financially. In last years, Cornelius was assisted by daughter Maude Toohey Ewing. Cornelius died at Carthage, Mo. in the home purchased by daughter Ogle Toohey Chamberlin and was buried "back home", which I assume was Iowa and possibly Storm Lake.
I have a MyFamily Toohey site with photos of Cornelius and two ladies. In my grandmother Ogle's hand, is written to the effect, "Papa with twin sister and older sister". If viewing the photos will assist you in your search, I can list your first name and e-mail address as a member which will allow access to the site.
