From Cathy Strickland:
Patrick Beahan and Margaret Ryan - the parents of Michael Beahan (married to Margaret Egan) and grandparents to Patrick Leonard Beahan. P.L. Beahan (married to Marjorie Haight) was father of Marie Beahan, Msgr. Hugh Michael Beahan, Fred Beahan and Robert Beahan, all of Grand Rapids. Fred Beahan was my dad.
Thomas and Margaret came over from Ireland via New York and settled in Hubbardston in the late 1800s. They are also the parents of Timothy Beahan (married to Margaret Hogan) a farmer in Hubbardston. Another brother to Patrick and Timothy was Matthew.
Here is a picture of the four Beahans mentioned above - Robert, Fr. Hugh, Marie and Fred. Taken shortly after Fr. Hugh's ordination in 1947.
