About Thomas A. Sullivan and Margaret M. Carmody

Thomas Aloysius Sullivan, the oldest child of Alexander Sullivan (1880-1956) and Ellen Madigan (1880-1966) was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 7, 1908. Less than two years later, on February 12, 1910, Margaret Mary Carmody, daughter of Patrick Joseph Carmody (c1878-1949) and Laura Agatha Agnes Desmond (1882-1964) was born. They both grew up on the west side of Chicago and married on Christmas Eve, 1929 at St. Mel Church. Their only son, Thomas Desmond Sullivan, was born in Chicago in 1930. Besides living in Illinois, Tom and Margaret also lived in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Margaret died on May 27, 1982. Tom remarried, eventually moving to Venice, Florida where he died on July 11, 1996. For information related to Thomas A. Sullivan prior to marriage go to the Sullivan/Madigan Genealogy Blog.

Dinner in White Fish Bay, Wisconsin, c early-1960s


Tom and Margaret Sullivan had a beautiful home in White Fish Bay, Wisconsin over looking Lake Michigan.  I remember attending a dinner where Tom Sullivan brought a beautiful, large turkey to the table and carved it to the pleasure of everyone.  Not sure it was this event, but it does look like there is turkey on the plates.  And, from the center piece, I believe we are celebrating Christmas.

This dinner gathering included both sides of the family.  From left to right: Unknown-possibly Ruth Rooney, Nan Madigan Rooney, Nell Madigan Sullivan, Larry McIntyre, Jr., Margaret Carmody Sullivan, Laura Desmond Carmody, John Sullivan, Elayne Bergin Sullivan, Tom Desmond Sullivan, Larry McIntyre, Sr., Helen Sullivan McIntyre and Tom Sullivan (Sr.).  My guess is that Elaine McIntyre is taking the photo.
