Mahoney, Frank J., 1890-1984. Frank James Mahoney memoirs.

Title: Frank James Mahoney memoirs.

The collection consists of short typescript autobiographical accounts and poetry of Frank J. Mahoney. Frank James Mahoney's birth and early childhood, as well as the first years of his second marriage, and the life and education of his son, David, are documented in the memoirs. Also mentioned is a daughter or step-daughter, Dorothy, who worked as a secretary to Alex Templeton and studied at a school of medicine in New York City. From the memoirs, it appears she lost touch with her parents and they were never able to locate her again. Frank J. Mahoney's move, with his family, to Randolph, Vermont in May 1940 is also described in detail. The poetry reflects on home, past birthdays, and one of Frank Mahoney's school teachers. Both the poetry and narrative autobiographical accounts appear to have been produced seperately, and it is unclear whether they were intended to be parts of a coherent whole. Several of the autobiographical accounts combine first person narration with third person references to "Frank" in a style that is most apparent in the account of his birth and early childhood. Although the typescripts are undated, there is some indication that at least one of the narrative accounts was written when Mahoney was 86 (ca. 1976).
