Attached is a pdf file which has the biography for Edward Maloney, coal merchant and father of Michael who took over the
business. Edward was a May Day baby in 1825, born to Murtey and Margaret (Innarnaly). Edward had 10 siblings, seven of
whom immigrated to the U.S. Edward arrived in 1848 but did not reach Niagara County until 1852, with intermediate stays in
New Hampshire, Utica NY, Washington D.C., and Vermont.
