Monahan Sr, Thomas Francis

Thomas Monahan was a Major in the US Army. He suffered a tragic fall on July 6, 1965 which necessitated the removal of the right lobe of his brain. This procedure left him without memory. The brain damage only allowed him to remember up to a certain time in his life. He died in the Veteran's Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts after years of hospitalization. He is buried at the Fort Bliss Cemetery in El Paso, Texas.Birth:  Dec. 23, 1922 Death:  Aug. 17, 1988MAJOR U.S. ARMY WORLD WAR IISource: U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs website    Burial: Fort Bliss National Cemetery El Paso El Paso County Texas, USA Plot: Section: G ~ Site: 943Created by: Our Ancestors Branches Record added: Apr 02, 2014 Find A Grave Memorial# 127327586Thomas appears on the 1930 US Census:Name: Thomas F Monahan Home in 1930: East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island Age: 7 Estimated Birth Year: about 1923 Relation to Head of House: Son Father's Name: Jerome E Mother's Name: Margaret F Household Members: Name Age Jerome E Monahan 36 Margaret F Monahan 34 Dorothy F Monahan 9 Jerome E Monahan 8 Thomas F Monahan 7 Charles L Monahan 5 Robert Monahan 1 5/12 Alice Monahan 38U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 about Thomas F MonahanBirth Year: 1922 Race: White, citizen (White) Nativity State or Country: Rhode Island State: Rhode Island County or City: Providence Enlistment Date: 30 Mar 1943 Enlistment State: Rhode Island Enlistment City: Providence Branch: No branch assignment Grade: Private Grade Code: Private Term of Enlistment: Enlistment for the duration of the War or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President or otherwise according to law Component: Selectees (Enlisted Men) Source: Civil LifeEducation: 2 years of high school Civil Occupation: Electric Truck Driver Marital Status: Married Height: 23 Weight: 115
