Notes

  • According to Leslie May Donaghy AD's son Albert Donaghy Jr spent some time researching family history and discovered that the original records from the town in Ireland from which the Donaghy's originated (Omagh in County Tyrone in modern day Northern Ireland) were destroyed in a fire, so there may be a "dead end" on research into that branch of the family.
  • Albert Donaghy Jr's SSDI is here but this is of the son, not the father.
  • The "Stokes" brand of tablet presses used for pills as well as Life Savers, after many acquisitions, is now owned by Compression Components & Service LLC. The press release announcing the acquisition in 2005 is here. The company is located in Huntington Valley, PA just north of Philadelphia.
  • SSN on the business card for the flower business is son John Slook Donaghy's SSN, not Albert's.
