My Grandfather JJH

 James Joseph Hession


This man right here. Born in Ireland, moved to the USA. A WW1 Vet. Volunteered for the Calvary to fight in WW1. Sent to Ft Devens, then shipped off to France. Given the French medal of honor (with all the soldiers who fought in WW1) He married shortly after, unfortunately his wife, Delia, and baby boy, died during childbirth. He then married Anne Flaherty and had four more children. He was a union man. Standing tall and proud at his Fowle Street home. James Joseph Hession.














I have his two marriage certificates.  I have his death certificate, his ww1 and WW2 draft cards ..  WW1 information, his request for immigration.  
Deilia, his first wife, his first son, both died in childbirth
his second wife, my grandmother.   she had four children.  
she was as interesting.
