Neil Gildea - Rental Property in Philadelphia.

A researcher sent this document to me. It indicates that Neil and Mary Gildea purchased rental property in Philadelphia in 1908.

Confirmation was found in this newspaper article from the Phildelphia newspaper in 1908 but the information on price is different. Full Article      Excerpt Gildea
