Billy and Maureen in this home in the Old First Ward Neighborhood. This neighborhood holds great significance in my Congressional District because it has long been recognized for the Irish legacy instilled upon the area during the citys formative years. Irish immigrants who worked on the construction of the Erie Canal made their home here. They went on to work in the shipping industry. as scoopers. railroad operators. and factory workers to name a few. Gene McCarthy followed in this tradition working for several years in Buffalos grain mills. ending his industry career at Pillsbury Flour Mill to pursue a business venture of his own.
