John and Nell Dolan O'Hare were my grandparents. "Katie" was actually Katherine who lived in Dogtown, at 6446 Wise from the time they moved there after burning down the house at 6502 Cheltenham with their Christmas tree, until 1944. John died Sept, 1943. Nell died June 11, 1944.

Daughter Mary married George Boerckel (Berkel), had 3 daughters, Betty b. April 12, 1928, Joan b. March 10, 1931 and Ruth Ann b. October 23, 1938. Mary O'Hare Berkel lived her entire lifein Dogtown. She was born at 6502 Cheltenham, lived at 6446 Wise until after Joan was born (according to Let's Go), then she and George and the 2 girls moved to Louisville, I have no idea of that address. Ruth Ann was born there. Mary and George were separated shortly after Ruth Ann was born and Mary and the 3 girls moved back to 6446 Wise. They moved from there to the upstairs flat on Tamm Ave (second flat south of St. James school), back to the Louisville house and then to 6528 Berthold, lst floor West. Mary died on Jan. 15, 1965.
