    Personal Information    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

    • Name Ovilla H. SHARKEY 


      • When Ovilla registered for the WWI draft on June 5, 1917, he and his wife and her 6 year old child were living in North Chester (Hampden), Massachusetts. He was a farmer. Edith had an earlier marriage to Franklin Tubbs who she married on 4 Jul 1907 in Lebanon Springs, New York. In the 1910 census Edith said she had one child, but none living. However, Edith and Frank had a daughter ,Vera Lulu Tubbs, who was born on 04 Feb 1911 in Chester, Massachusetts. When the 1930 census was taken, O.H. and Rachel Sharkey were living at 2115 Linden Ave. in Queens, New York City. O.H. was a veteran and a superintendent which may mean he was the superintendent of the building that he and Rachel lived in since they also said they lived rent free. Rachel said she immigrated in 1890. When “Oliver H. Sharkey” married “Rachel Naylor”, he said he was 37; single; a painter; and living at 88 Halleck St. in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel said she was 39, single and living at 88 Halleck Pl. in Brooklyn. Rachel’s first husband was George Naylor. When their daughter, Emily Naylor was born on 13 Apr 1903, they were living in Isle La Motte, Vermont . When Ovella (name on death certificate) died, his death certificate said he was a resident of Walden (Orange), New York and his occupation was handyman working in the New York City Aquadact. For some reason Ovilla Sharkey was buried as Oliver Sharkey. When Rachel died, she was survived by her daughter, Mrs. George J. Anderson in Fairlawn, New Jersey and by her son William H. Naylor who became a Brigadier General and commanded the 76th Infantry Division, U.S. Army Reserve. He retired in 1958 to devote more time to his civilian work as vice president of Stanley Home Products, Inc. of Westfield, Mass. According to a granddaughter of Rachel, Rachels’ first husband was a ship’s captian on the St Lawrence River and they lived in Malone, NY. Ovilla was inducted in Lee, Mass. on 06Oct1917, two months after Ediths death. Vera Lulu went to live with her grandparents. He served overseas from 26 Nov 1917 to 09 Jun 1919 and was assigned to Company A of the 504th Engineers. He was honorably discharged on 17 Jun 1919 at Camp Devens, Mass.
