Margaret/Maggie MAHONEY REINHARDT [b. ca. 1879 Co. Cork Ireland], emigrated to McHenry Co IL with her parents, Con and Margaret [REGAN] MAHONEY and older siblings. This family lived in or near Richmond IL ca. 1882 to ca. 1890, and Maggie lost her place as the youngest when her twin sisters, Nellie and Nora MAHONEY, were born there in 1888.
While in McHenry Co, Maggie made a friend, Nellie LYNCH, and after the Mahoneys moved to Fond du Lac WI, they wrote to each other all their lives. Maggie died Dec. 1957 in WI.
We do not know if LYNCH was Nellie's maiden or married name, nor do we know where she lived or if she was somehow related.
Any information or suggestions are welcome, hoping to lead to which school Maggie attended in McHenry Co. Thanks!
