Aunt Ruth Sharron



Aunt Ruth Sharron Horrigan was my maternal Grandmother's (Nana) other sister. She was married to John Horrigan. My Uncle David believe he smoked Camels and the were about two dollars a carton or 20 cents a pack from machine.

John worked for Heyward Wakefield furniture Co out of Gardner, MA.


Her husband, John came from Fitchburg or Leominster. Together, they lived with my mom's gramma and grampa in the house accross from St Martins church next to the priests house and accross from Aunt Nellies,

Two progeny from Ruth and John: Jacky and Peter. Jacky was a school principal or Administrator in Newton or Welsley or Shirly MA. He had nine kids, the last Nona. 


Younger brother was Peter who was an oil company executive. Last heard from living in Annapolis MD. He may be still alive. Jacky deceised.
