Devoted son of Larry (1860-1922) and Anna "Annie" Prunty McElroy (1863-1929).
Beloved brother of James (b. 19 January 1891 - d. 25 January 1920), Ellen "Nellie" (b. Feb. 1893 - d. 1973; married Bill Marrion), then "Johnny" followed by Owen (b. 1 July 1898 - d. 5 March 1921).
He was bereaved by wife Mary, offspring Johnny Jr. (memorial# 103754692), Anna T. (memorial# 103722901), and Eugene L. McElroy (memorial# 975215) and stepchildren Mary (May), James Edwd., and Francis Jos. Cullen.
Johnny's occupation was as a driver for his father's produce business, which I suspect his oldest brother James took over. At the time of his death Johnny was a laborer.
As a matter of fact, Johnny registered for the 1917 Draft with his brother James E., in Long Island City on June 5th, 1917 not far from their parents' house. It is recorded within his draft registration card that the middle finger of his left hand was cut-off.
Johnny stated on his draft registration card that he was born at 455 West 35th Street in Manhattan. At the time of his parents' marriage, on the 7th day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year before the turn of the nineteenth century, the couple of Larry and Annie were residing at 460 West 32nd Street, right near the original location of St. Michael's Church. Larry operated his freight handling business out of the same address. Around 1906, the Church had to move from its' original location on West 32nd Street to accommodate the Penn Station Railroad Yard construction. The Church of St. Michael's had moved to its' present location at 34th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues (424 West 34th Street), Manhattan, NYC.
The Larry-Annie McElroy Family residence for the 1900 Census was 500 West 33rd Street. Frank McElroy and his wife Emily, nee Burns, were residing at 439 West 32nd Street at this same time (refer to memorial no. 110125301 and other family links therein). Obviously, this address would be a couple of doors away from that of Larry's and Annie's when they were married.
The 1905 Census records the Larry-Annie McElroy family address as 455 West 33th Street. At this time Larry's brother Michael was staying with them after completing his second trip over (previously June 6th, 1901). Surprisingly Michael sailed at the end of August, arriving in the Port of New York on 6 September. I say surprisingly because his sister Bridget had married Patrick Kelly that June in New York City. This address would be just about 7 short blocks north of the Owen McElroy who was residing down on 26th Street. I suspect Owen was also a first cousin of Larry's and Michael's, an uncle to Johnny and probably who Johnny's brother Owen was named after. So, I conclude, at time of his World War I draft registration in June of 1917, Johnny recalled his home address from when he was 10 years of age and then crossed 35th Street with 33rd Street.
On September 14th, 1919, Johnny married Mary "May" Haskins Cullen (1888-1963) at the Church of St. Francis de Sales at 135 East 96th Street, Manhattan, NYC. At the time, Mary was residing at 133 East 97th Street, where she, her daughter Mary Cecelia, and sons Jas. Edwd. and Frank Jos. Jr., had moved to be close to the Cullen family after the devastating death of her first husband Frank Jos. Cullen the previous year on November 10, 1918.
After their marriage the Johnny and Mary Haskins-Cullen-McElroy family resided at 449 West 35th Street in that section of Manhattan Island known as Hell's Kitchen. The extended family would reside there until the time of Johnny's death in the fall of 1924. His three children Johnny Jr., Anna Teresa and Eugene would be born while at this residence.
On October 23rd of 1924 Johnny was diagnosed with Lobar Pneumonia and was under the care of Dr. E.T. Hauser, two days later alcoholic dementia set-in exacerbating his failing health. Dr. Hauser then had him admitted to New York Hospital on the 27th of October. Johnny lost not only the battle with his demons but also that of life itself and passed away at 6:43 P.M. on the 28th of October 1924. His wife Mary then contracted with the undertaker Fred Simons, who was located at 428 West 34th Street, to handle all necessary arrangements.
New York Hospital at the time was located between 15th and 16th Streets and 5th and 6th Avenues in the lower portion of Chelsea, bordering the Village to the south and Hell's Kitchen to the north. The hospital dates back to a 1771 King George II charter, was established down in lower Manhattan, where it stayed for about 100 years before moving up to Chelsea, and is the second oldest hospital in the U.S. After the first decade of the new century it affiliated with Cornell University' Medical College and during the depression moved uptown to its' present location up on York Avenue at East 67 – 68 Streets in 1932. Then just a couple of years before the turn of the next century it merged with the Presbyterian Hospital. Hence, we have New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the Weil Cornell Medical Center (known as a national cancer treatment center) of New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Apparently, after Johnny's passing, wife Mary, with her six children, went to live with Johnny's parents across the East River in the Long Island City section of Queens County (the borough of Queens of New York City). After his death, the 1925 NYS Census records Johnny and family living with his mom Annie McElroy, in Long Island City. Unless he out did Houdini, I suspect that they recorded Johnny's name possibly in response to a question along the lines: "Father's name?"
By the time of his death, Johnny's father, Larry, had passed on in 1922, his brother James in 1920, James' 2-1/2 year old daughter Rita in 1921, 45 days after Johnny's youngest brother Owen. This had to be a most traumatic time for Annie. Think of the trauma and turmoil this woman experienced from the loss of loved ones so near and dear.
For the most part, genealogy names and their dates were provided initially courtesy of the oldest son of Johnny Jr.'s oldest maternal brother. The other research was by the middle son of Johnny Jr.'s oldest maternal brother.
Johnny's death is recorded as Certificate 26157 (1924) on FHL Roll Number 2031867, 2031871. His remains were interred with those of his brothers' and niece Rita, may he be in eternal bliss with the family who had passed on before and after him, along the angels and at peace with the demons that haunted him during his life on earth.
