Genevieve Daly found love on Summer Vacation
Genevieve Marie Daly was born Feb 1 1883, what appears to be the fifth child of Michael Thomas Daly (1841-1913) and Catherine Walsh (1853-1942).
The Michael Daly family resided at 188 Lexington Ave Manhattan at the time of her birth. Genevieve was only one of three children of Michael’s that reached the age of 21.
She attended Sacred Heart Academy in Torresdale Pa only a few miles from when Durry York now resides. Durry York has written to the sisters and the sent back information that she was a very satisfactory student.
She married Frank Bernard York on the 21 Apr 1909. Frank was from a prominent family in Brooklyn Democratic politics and Michael Daly was prominent in NYC Democractic politics and Tammany Hall. They met while each family was summer vacationing. Frank was a partner in the law firm of York & York with his father. The Yorks were lawyers for the Brooklyn Dodgers and for a short time Frank B York was president of the Brooklyn Dodgers (1930-32).
