Was born in 1898. She was the youngest of 10 children, an Irish Catholic family.
She talked about what it was like for her family. I have a history of milkmen, policemen and railroad workers on that side of the family, jobs for the Irish. Being Catholic didn't help either!
It always amazes me that Hannity and O' Reilly gloss over prejudice and can't understand when people complain how they are treated by others.
Either their families came over later or they did not listen to their relatives!
