Anna Maria McCallion

 So, I had always heard that Josephine lost two old siblings in the NY diphtheria epidemic, but had only seen evidence for Joseph.

But, thanks to Joanne for this about Anna Maria McCallion:

This is a note from Anna/Nanny to her daughter Josephine: 

"Jo. This is your Dearest only(?) sister of yours' hair that I have kept for you and the blue beads & ring & sacred heart"

"Hair of my darling girl Anna Maria McCallion who died July 2 1922 age 8 1/2 years.

Never ever will I forget you dearest girl. May God have mercy on you and comfort me. 

Your heartbroken mother"

 This is James's brother Michael's US entry, April 15th, 1911:

Home address/nearest relative looks like  "J. McCallion. Tironeill"

Intended address is: "Brother J. McCallion. 142 W 67 St. NewYork."

This is the same address used by Anna McBride McCallion. She arrives one week later, April 23, 1911.

The McCallion clan, what year? Josephine is 14 or so?

My guess (LtoR): James, Eddie, Anna McBride McCallion, Josephine, James, George, Charles (Chick):

 

Grandma Anna McBride McCallion on tenement rooftop with her dogs:

From Joanne: Aunt Ann (Jimmy's wife), Mom (Josephine), Aunt Pat (George's wife), Aunt Jean (Eddie's wife):

From Joanne:

Aunt Anna( Uncle Jimmy's wife), Uncle George, Uncle Jimmy, Mom (Josephine), Uncle Eddie and squatting down Uncle Chick ...all surrounding Nana McCallion.

Another from Joanne: Josephine and her mother. Same rooftop as pic above with her dogs? I thought someone indicated this might be Josephine's communion?

From Joanne: "I think that is Charles "Mac" McBride brother *and standing next to) to Nanny Anna Marie McBride McCallion, her daughter Josephine, Pop James McCallion":
