Sarah Anne Healy was my second great grandmother. She was born around 1851 in Ireland. Sarah immigrated to the US from Ireland when she was in her late teens in order to avoid being sent to a convent. This story was told to me by Edna Jean (Burt) McKenzie, my Paternal Grandmother and the Granddaughter of Sarah Anne Healy
I have no additional information about her parents, immigration or at which port she arrived. On May 15, 1872, she married William Hawley in Alpena, Michigan. On October 30, 1919, she married Asahel Atherton in Beaverton, Gladwin, Michigan. Sarah passed away on December 30, 1924, at her home in Mitchell Township, Alcona County, Michigan, after a long illness.
