CORAY HOLLOW

​

"E. A. Coray - At one time, Mr. Coray owned practically all the coal land from the city line on the South Side to Pittston. Years ago the country below Minooka, toward Music, was called CORAY HOLLOW. In the later 70's (the 1870's) Mr. Coray went up the spout financially and the property slipped from his grasp."

ADDRESSES AROUND SCRANTON

​

1880: Edward Joseph Hennigan first arrived with his sister Catherine, and lived with Uncle Barney, Aunt Bridget, and young cousin Catherine Davis in the coal mining village of Coray Hollow.

​

1881 - 1883: I have not found a place of residence for either Edward or Catherine.

​

1884, 1885 & 1886, we find him living at 519 Genet Street.

A move to 817 Capouse (rear) in 1887, then the next three years; 1888, 1889, 1890 at 922 Wyoming Avenue.

In 1891, he moves back to 847 Capouse Avenue in the rear. The Capouse neighborhood consists of the rear streets of Greens Place and Amity Place. The dwellings are all behind 847 and 857 Capouse. I can't say for certain that they are actually 'moves' to different dwellings.
