Breaking stereotypes: Collins of PA; Hallinen, Maney, Crotty

Post by smcarberry » Wed Sep 10, 2008 6:01 pm

Collier's Weekly [publication] 28 Nov 1914
“Michael Collins, of County Clare, has been track foreman at a place called Cowley, Pa., ever since
June 15, 1973. He never broke the rules and never neglected his duty, according to the official record. Of course that proves how the Irish hate all discipline and never can stick to anything because of quicksilver in their heels. Michael is retired now on a pension...and if there is any truth in a bright eye, he'll be talking about old times for twenty years and more to come.

A very sudden death occurred at Cowley last Saturday evening when Michael Collins was stricken whine in his usual health and passed away almost immediately. Mr. Collins was born in Ireland about 73 years ago and had resided in Cowley since early manhood was until his retirement a few years ago, a trusted employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He married Miss Susan Chesley of Cowley and with her, very recently celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. To them were born four children, J. Walter, of Nebraska; John T. of Alba, Martin of Canton township and Jennie at home. He also leaves ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
