Mrs. Sarah Connolly was a happy woman in the days when ghe and her husband, Frank, were surrounded by their seven children at 225 Park Ave.

Deeply Loved Children

Theirs was never a wealthy ¢amily, but Frank and Sarah Connolly deeply loved their children—more rewarding than riches. Mr. Connolly worked as a furniture mover for the Northside Transfer Co. He trained his children in gymnastics, proud of his own health and ‘strength. But suddenly, as a result of an accident, his heart’ was weakened. He was staying home from work on Feb. 10, 1950, when he decided to move coal into the bin. Soon, his son, Leonard, ran to Mrs. Connolly crying “Daddy's on the floor.” Plans for Future
