WILLIAM IVORY, DAUGHTER, GRANDSON, & NEIGHBOR CA 1905

Source: Family

The gentleman is my great-great grandfather, William Ivory. 
His daughter Eleanor (without hat) and grandson George 
Collins are pictured with him on his front porch on 
Chicago's near Southside. The woman with the hat is Nrs. 
McKenzie, a neighbor.

Additional Comments:
William, his parents John Ivory and Mary Lyons Ivory, his 
two brothers Thomas and John and two sisters Bridget Ann and 
Mary, came from Co. Waterford (and I believe the city as 
well) in 1825. They went first to Quebec and about 1850 to 
Brooklyn, NY. William, having served in the Civil War, 
married Ellen Corcoran, also of Waterford, and moved west, 
working as a sailor,  through Michigan, ending up in 
Chicago. The remainder of his family stayed in Brooklyn 
where they are buried.
