This is an undated photo but as far as I can tell it is from the NYPD. I am certain that all family members will be able to tell which guy is TJ. Of course he is the best looking guy by far - not that I am prejudiced in any way.
- I also came across rather detailed notes of TJ's work history written in his own hand which states that he worked for Thomas O'Donnell (that was his father) from 1900 to 1906.
- He left to accept a position at Binghamton State Hospital - Charles G. Wagner Supervisor, from October 1906 to May 1907. He states his reason for leaving this job as "to accept position on Brooklyn Heights R.R. Co."
- The next job is listed as a "Conductor" for the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Co. on the Brooklyn Bridge(Badge No. 1084)(in Brooklyn , NY) from May 1907 to August 1908. His Supervisor is listed as E.F. Reeves. He states his reason for leaving this job "left to accept position at St. Joseph, Pa."
- The next job is listed as "Farmer" St. Joseph, Pa from August 1908 to April 1909 and his supervisor is listed as Thomas O'Donnell (which by the way is his Dad). He states that his reason for leaving this job was "To accept position at Binghamton State Hospital, Binghamton, NY. "
- The next job is listed as "Attendant" at the Binghamton State Hospital in Binghamton, NY from April 1909 to Nov 1909. He states his reason for leaving "to accept position as Patrolman on Aqueduct.
- The next job is listed as "Patrolman on Aqueduct Shield no. 125, at the Board of Water Supply City of New York, Municipal Building, NYC. States Aqueduct Patrolman Nov 1909 to July 1915 and his reason for leaving this job is listed as "Completion of work".
It surprised me to see that my grandfather went to work in Brooklyn, NY from 1907 to 1908 and then returned to the farm in St. Joseph's Pa, from 1908 until 1909. He also worked two different times at Binghamton State Hospital (Oct 1906 to May 1907 - a period of 7 months) and again from (April 1909 to Nov 1909 -another period of 7 months)
