She owned a tavern in the Irish Tipperary Hill section of Syracuse, NY and smoked an Irish clay pipe. Walter F. Lucas her husband is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse, N.Y.


From the Syracuse Standard, Thursday Morning, August 20, 1885, under City Notes
"Mrs. Lucas Wants Her Pay
Mrs. Walter Lucas conducts a saloon at 63 Hemlock Street. She has posted on her window a long list of her debtors under the heading "Dead Beats." Some of the alleged debtors are well known men. A few days ago a young man accompanying two young women was passing her place, when she rushed out and dragged him into the saloon by main force. She locked the door and told him she would divest him of his clothing and keep it if he didn't pay a debt of $15. He signed a note".

From Onondaga County Public Library, Local History/Genealogy
Hemlock was a continuation of Fayette St., after it crossed Geddes going west. It ended at Furnace Street (now S. Wilbur). Other intersecting streets are Nelson and Magnolia. The address 63 Hemlock St. is now 1217 W. Fayette St. and in 2012 was still an Irish Pub.

Formerly owned by Walter and Catherine.
