KATE RAHILL REKLAHU
I believe Kate Rahill to be the first born child of Timothy and Margaret Rahill. She was born in Buffalo, NY in 1863. Family stories reveal that she was a trained Catholic nurse. She appears in Buffalo City directories as employed at the Buffalo City Almshouse. A detailed account on the necrology of the Rahill family written in 1946 by John Welsh (Wells) Rahill states that she attended the Pan American Exposition in 1901 and was only four persons away from President McKinley when he was shot. She was attending the expo with her brother Edward Rahill (b. 1869) who at the time was serving as the Postmaster of the Expostion.
