Mary Anne (Annie) O'Meara

Annie O'Dea ran a very lively boarding house. Apparently there was a piano in the parlour and lodgers would gather round, bringing instruments they owned and have regular sing alongs.

Cannon George Larose said at their grandson's funeral (Joseph Baker m. to Doris K. Doyle) that during the depression it was the O'Meara family that kept St. Theresa's Parish (Somerset Street-Ottawa) going by giving food, candles & materials to the church.
