Notes |
- According to his Pennsylvania Death Certificate, Michael was born on September 27, 1885, which appears to be incorrect, and his mother's name was Maggie Murphy, which is likely incorrect.
According to the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, Archives and Record Center, by letter dated April 9, 2007, a "Michaelem Franciscum" (a Latinized form of Michael Francis) was born September 27, 1884, and was baptized on October 12, 1884 at St. James Catholic Church, West End, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father was Michael Fogarty, of County Tipperary, Ireland and his mother was Maria Murphy, County Monahan (Monaghan), Ireland. The sponsors were Eduardus Murphy and Maria Walsh.
He was known throughout his life as "Frank". His mother died when he was 13 and he lived with the Martin Walsh (Audrey Fogarty remembers him as Uncle Martin) family in Sheridan, Pa. He attended St. James Catholic Church School in the West End of Pittsburgh through the sixth (maybe eighth) grade.
According to the 1910 census, Francis Fogarty was living with Mary Walsh, her sister-in-law and three daughters at 829 Stueben Street in 1910. According to the 1920 census too, he was living with Mary Walsh on Stueben Street in 1920. He is shown to be a laborer.
He was a baseball enthusiast and before he was married he played baseball for a semi-pro team on the Northside of Pittsburgh.
Before he was married, Frank worked for Alling & Cory, a paper company at the end of the Sixth Street Bridge on the Northside of Pittsburgh. He retired in 1939 after a progressively debilitating illness left him unable to walk. After he retired, Alling & Cory continued to pay him $25 a month for one year, which helped the family unitl Emma Lou was able to start working. He apparently had compression of the spine, thought to have been caused by an injury earlier in his life. In addition, he had hardening of the arteries. He eventually was taken to the infirmary at Woodville State Hospital where he died.
The following death notice was published in the June 8, 1953 edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
FOGARTY--On Saturday, June 6, 1953, Frank, age 66 years, beloved husband of Dorathea Green Fogarty, of 3234 Brentwood Ave., father of Mrs. Emma Lou McKeeton, Mrs. Audrey Johnson, Mrs. Lois Thomas and Mrs. Ruth Rollins; brother of John B. Fogarty; also five grandchildren. Friends received at the John M. Slater Funeral Home, 4201 Brownsville Rd., Whitehall-Brentwood. Funeral Tuesday afternoon at 2:00.
