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"
