Aunt Dee's notes on her Parent's, Patrick & Julia Donnelly, Transcribed:

Married in Sac. Heart Church, Elizabeth November 27, 1907.

Frank born on Spring Street, Elizabeth, November 7, 1908. 
All other children born on Bond Street 922.

When Pop & Mother moved into this house - bought for $2000 it had no cellar, no running water, no heat, no electricity, pump in yard. Eventually, Pop & his brother-in-law dug a cellar, put in 2 baths, put in heat, first put in gas light & then electricity. 

922 Bond Street was 100 years old when Mother & Pop bought it in 1909.  Street was cobble stoned; (Belgian blocks) & grass grew between the blocks.

Here are some photos I have of the family at 922 Bond Street.  I would love to know if anyone has a photo of the actual house.
