Generation No. 2

2. JOHN2 ROONEY (KATIE (?)1). He married MARY GILBOY.
In the "Wilkes-Barre Almanac Deaths 1911"  there's reported a Mrs John Rooney of Edwardsville died on Feb 6.  I'm guessing that's Mary Gilboy Rooney.
There's a story in my mother's "Frank" book (chapter 4) about Frank as a child being there when his grandmother died.  She slumped over in a rocking chair and he held her so she didn't fall to the floor while he called for help.  He would have been seven yrs old then.
