They immigrated to the United States independently of each other in the 1920s. Mary made Chicago, Illinois, her home, and Michael settled in Cleveland, Ohio. Mary met Michael while on a visit to Chicago. In the late 1930s, they relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, for employment purposes. The O'Neills raised their family in the Irish tradition, instilling in them a love of the Irish culture. The collection consists of certificates of birth, marriage, and naturalization, an essay on the life of Mary O'Neill, memorial cards, photographs, and two poems. | | | | Call #: | MS 4896 | | | | Extent: | 0.21 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | O'Neill, Michael, 1901-1961. | O'Neill, Mary Walsh, 1905-2001. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs. | Irish Americans -- Archives. | Ireland -- Poetry. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 20th century. | Ireland -- Emigration and immigration -- 20th century. | Ohio -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 20th century.
