Neil McManamon is my paternal grandfather. He is a descendant of Neale/Edward McManamon 1795, Doona, CO Mayo Eire. Daniel McManamon & Rose Dougherty. His parents were Neal McManamon, circa 1856 and Mary Conway, circa 1862 Donna Co. Mayo. He was from Sugar Notch, PA, and was married to Helen Gallagher.
They had 8 children.
6 boys: Joseph, Thomas Neil, James Donald & Raymond
2 daughters: Dorothea & Mary
He worked in the mines until he moved to Levittown, PA where he worked as a carpenter. When he retired he moved to Harrisburg, PA.
When he passed he was survived by all but one of his children, Joseph, who died during WWII, 22 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. His wife, my grandmother, had passed 25 years earlier.
He lived with us for a while and being a teenager, I got the biggest kick whenever he disciplined my father (it was usually over something he was yelling at me for). You could tell he had put the fear of God and his cane into his children!
He was such a sweet man, I can still remember him telling me to get him orange slice candy, slipping me the money and telling me not to tell my mother, because he gave me the money! He was a great man and I miss him very much.
He would always ask me how I could get an A in bookkeeping when I couldn't add to save my soul! So he bought me a manual calculator, he could have the columns done before I could get them into the machine!!
