James KEARNS married (1) KATHERINE (per her death certificate) or (per tradition) CATHERINE DONAHUE. Perhaps her parents arrived in New York, living there a while, before moving to PA then Ohio? It is likely that her first name was spelled wrong since her granddaughter Catherine was named after her in 1920. Kitty's notes list a brother for Catherine DONAHUE, First name unclear-Ritnor ? J. DONAHUE b. 1896 d. 1918 - but the dates don't seem right, since he would be more than 50 years younger than his sister. Their was a marker with Ritnor as the first name near my Kearns and Donahue markers at Calvary Cemetery. I need to find the photo.
I have no information regarding marriage or divorce dates for James KEARNS.
