Source: Family

The gentleman is my great-grandfather, the first of four 
named Patrick Joseph McCann. This snapshot was taken 
two-three months before his death in July 1942 in his 
southside Chicago backyard

Additional Comments:
Patrick was born on March 17, 1960 and baptized on March 19, 
1860 in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath . His parent were James 
McCann and Cathrine Gibney McCann of the same place. He left 
Ireland with his parents and arrived in New York at Castle 
Garden aboard the "Constellation" on May 2, 1861. A sister, 
Anna Bridget was born on board in the harbor! Eventually the 
family ended up in Chicago where the remainder of his 
siblings were born. Patrick married Katherine Mary Agnes 
Ivory there in 1890.
