The McGonigle Neighborhood in Belvidere
Top: Initially we thought that the white house was the old Patrick Murrin home. This house is just across the street from the Frank and Catherine McGonigle home, and after comparing photos with those sent by the Murrins many months ago, realized that the house was elsewhere. The manufacturing company in the distance was where Frank McGonigle worked as a night watchman. Frank also worked at Bordens for a period of time, which was nearby.

The house on your far right was the Patrick and Elizabeth (Hill) Murrin home. Initially we thought the Murrin home was across the street until I came back and compared photos provided by the Murrins. Based on family lore, we knew that the Murrins and McGonigles were neighbors.
