Paul E. Finn and Teresa C. Hogan Finn
Paul E. Finn was born in August, 1897 in Lima Ohio. Teresa Hogan was also
born in Lima in 1897. They married and eventually had eight children
together.
Edward, 1921, married Genevieve (Ginny) Sager in 1949. Mary Ellen, 1922,
married Donald Allen Ogle in 1942. Pauline (Polly), 1926, married Richard
Hall.
Carolyn Rose, 1928, married Wilbur (Bill) Bailey in 1947. Patrick (Pat),
1933, married Sarah Evans. Teresa (Sis), 1936, married James Graham in
1955.
Paul Joseph Finn, 1937, died very young. Leah, 1940, married Michael Otto
in 1963. Teresa Hogan Finn died in 1946 when Leah was only six years old,
and
some of her brothers and sisters were still in school. Carolyn, Polly,
Mary and Ed looked after the younger ones while their father worked. In
1930 the Paul
and Teresa Finn family lived at 1012 North West Street in Lima. By 1940
they were living at 1015 North Union St. Two generations of Baileys would
also later
occupy the North Union Street house.
Paul married Frances Krownapple around 1956 and moved into the house at
1013 North Union next door to the previous residence. They remained in
that
house until their deaths, both in June, 1978. The Finns were a very
close-knit family, which continued in subsequent generations. The annual
Finn family
reunions continue into the present and dozens of relatives from Paul
Finn's descendants as well as his siblings' descendants reunite and
continue the tradition.
