Note: Karen Kennedy stated that Emma’s parents were owners of the Clark Thread Company. We have not been able to verify this.

When further information arises to round out the family life and relationships it will be added to Emma’s bio.
The 1915 NYS Census lists Generino Barry and Catherine Barry as daughters of Emma and Terence. This was an error on the part of the enumerator. Further research to determine the relationship between the Barry and Callahan families is underway.
Terence ,Emma and their daughter Irene appear on the Sullivan Interment List provided by Bill Kearns, a descendant of Daniel and Mary Sullivan. They are listed as being buried in Sec. 10, Plot 57, Grave 10.
FindAGrave volunteer photographer was unable to locate the plot where they are buried. According to our email exchange, the photographer explained that Calvary has rearranged the layout of the Section 10. No headstone could be found with the name of Sullivan on it. On 10/4/13 I received an email from William Kearns confirming that there is no headstone on the plot. He, too, had trouble locating the burial plot while at Calvary.
