Description
Photograph of MMA cadet Edmond Kavanaugh in his school’s uniform. Edmond was a member of Massanutten Academy's class of 1927.
Edmond was born on Long Island, in Cedarhurst, New York, the second of five children born to Edmond Arthur (1875-1935) and Adelaide E. (died 1928) Kavanaugh. His father was a well-known and successful real estate broker.
Edmond grew up in Hempstead, and stayed in the area for most of his life.
After graduating from MMA, he moved to New York City where he met and married Ellen (or Eileen) Bernadette Vaughn, an Irish immigrant from Belfast. She had arrived in 1927 and worked as a waitress in a restaurant in New York. She and Edmond married in Brooklyn in 1931. Early in their marriage, the couple lived at 4520 Broadway, in New York city. Three years later, Eileen became a U.S. Citizen.
By 1940, the couple lived on Central Avenue in Lawrence, a village near Hempstead. They had a 4-year old daughter, Margaret P., and Edmond worked as a clerk at the high school.
The 1950 census found Edmond and Eileen still in Lawrence, but with three children: Patricia (14), Brian (11) and Edmond (6). He was a math teacher at the high school there.
Only two years later, Edmond died unexpectedly, at the age of only 46 years.
