• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Due to financial reasons after the death of his father in 1910, Mother (Amilia) turned over the care of 3 year old John Joseph to his grandfather John and his wife Elizabeth. The 1920 census for Somerville, MA shows Grandson 12 year old John living with this family. John Joseph lived with his father's sister (Veronica, who was nicknamed Dot). John had to leave school at age 14 to go to work. John Joseph remained with this family until he married Frances Keeler on Christmas Day 1930. There appears no 1940 census record for John Whealen and family. In 1942 they lived at 66 A Belmont St. in Somerville, but a search of the Enumeration District has no record for that residence (in 1940). During WWII John tried to enlist in the Sea Bees but was turned down because of his eyes. He volunteered as an Air Raid Warden. He worked in the Boston Naval Shipyard. In his youth be fought (Boxing) as a light weight. John used the (presumed original) spelling of the surname, that being WHEALEN. !BIOGRAPHY: Conversations with wife (Frances Keeler) in 1995
