More progress on the Kilcommons Family

The other day I checked the archives of the Wilkes-Barre paper to see what I could find.

On March 7, 1895, the paper reported that "Michael Curley of Oliver's Mills was calling on Georgetown friends last evening."

On August 18, 1896, it reported that "A son arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Curley."

On January 1, 1897, it reported that "The Misses Kilcummins and Miss Mame Kane of New York are being entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Curley of Spruce Street, Georgetown."

Reporting on Delia's funeral, the paper noted that the flowers were carried by Edward Leslie. He most likely was a relative, since the marriage of Mary Kilcommons, a minor, was consented to by a John Leslie. Or perhaps John Leslie was named guardian of the three Kilcommons children after the death of their mother.
