Ed:

we meet again. I merely note you're looking for Sullivan's and Coyne's.

Coyne was the maiden name of a Mrs. Houlihan, St. Brendan's parish in the
1930's, husband had lost an arm in an industrail accident, had two boys,
Paul and Dick, and either Mrs. Houlihan, or more likely her Coyne sister,
had the first --and only --- "tea wagon" I ever saw in my life. Hope this
helps.

Sullivan even more vague. Good friends of my father's from his earlier
days in the Ohio Works---say late teens and the 1920's. They had a
brother-in-law (I guess her brother) Mick Hennessy.

they were from County Clare, Ireland. Later moved to Cleveland, OH, and
had two daughters, Sally had Downs Syndrome, and Mary Clare, the latter
became a registered nurse in Cleveland-in the 1940's.

Burd "rings a bell"--and I will eventually think of it, but it might have
been someone I met last week---- I am at that age.
