Mary Josephine [3 August 1867
Ireland – 17 December 1927 NY]
&
Michael Coyle [b 24 November
1870 Ireland]
Married 9 November 1895, Saint
Brigid’s Church, New York City
One day Michael Coyle entered a
boarding house. As he entered Mary Jo Mullane was walking down the stairs to the lobby.
He looked up, saw her and thought she was beautiful. It was love at first
sight. He was a baker and she kept house. They had seven children.
What a lovely couple? It was love at first sight for them.

ReplyDeleteI think it is a wonderful photograph.
