PVT Earl V McNerney
Lock Haven PA   Uncle Mick (Great Uncle Earl V. McNerney)
used to live above The Playmakers on East Church Street
in Lock Haven PA. When I was little, I remember rolling on his and Aunt Mary's hassock (Mary Ryan McNerney) in their
living room, and sitting on their front porch. They used to walk me over to the Widman-Teah Drug Store at Bellefonte Avenue and Church
Street and get me a chocolate sunday at their soda fountain. I
remember when they moved across the street to 40 East Church Street, two doors from the
City Hall, and eventually The Playmakers building
was torn down - 40 is still there today. Uncle Mick worked at the Lock
Haven State Teachers
College, now Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. It was called The Normal School when
my mother and Aunt Emma went there. After Uncle Mick died in 1968, Aunt Mary stayed on at 40 East Church until she was
infirmed and had to move to the Extended Care Unit at the Lock
Haven Hospital, where she died
in 1999. Diane and I had lunch with Sister Borgia, Aunt Mary's Niece Joan O'Donnell, [Sister Francis Borgia O'Donnell,
IHM] at Foxes Restaurant after her funeral in 1999. Sister has been working with the CCD Program at Saint Mary of The Mount Parish in Pittsburgh for the past 12 years. Here's some more info and photos.
