An Emigré To The USA
An Emigré To The USA
Timothy, or "Timmy" as he was affectionately known, followed his older brothers to the United States.
Some say he arrived shortly after the end of World War I but the writer suggests that he may have departed Cobh aboard the "America", arriving in the US as late as November 18, 1924.
Prior to emigrating, Tim had visions of pursuing a life on the land similar to younger brother, "Free", and had in fact embarked on a course of agricultural studies leading to qualifications. He left Ireland without finalising his studies and obtained work with a railroad shipping company in Chicago. Tim never married and died in 1957.
