This is a scrapbook created by the O’Hearn family in the 1920’s. This book contains articles and photos pertaining to Timothy and Frank O’Hearn Jr., as well as other miscellaneous clippings pertaining to community events at the time. The first article, however, is actually taken from a paper dated in the 1970’s about the death of one Francis M. Leahy during a battle that took place in 1918, during WWI. This article is an outlier, perhaps connected in some way to the O’Hearns, as the article also states many of the men in his battalion outlived him and would visit his gravesite regularly. The rest of the articles are about boxing, baseball and diving events, as well as a few opinion pieces written by Frank O’Hearn on the subjects of Mother’s Day, city government and classic poetry. Frank even has a few poems and letters pasted in this scrapbook that were sent to what can be assumed to be a lover of his in California. The very last page of the book holds Timothy O’Hearns obituary, he died in 1926.
