In the late 1800s, the McGivney family navigated the heavy burdens of the working class and anti-Catholic discrimination in New England.

139. Mrs. Catherine McGowan (Catherine "Kate" McGowan (1869-1912) She immigrated to the United States and made a life for herself in Chicago (also living in Cleveland for a time), but returned to Ireland for Christmas in 1911 because her young niece Annie had written to her and told her she intended to come to America in a month. Kate's parents were dead, her favorite sister was already in Chicago, and she had another sister in Cleveland, so she hadn't entertained any thoughts of going back to Ireland, but she felt that if her niece joined her, it would really mean she'd never see her homeland again. She wrote back to Annie, telling her to hold off on her plans since she'd be there in three weeks and they could make the trip together come spring. Kate's trip home may have inspired several other people to similarly immigrate, among them Kate, John, and Mary Bourke. She owned a boarding house in Chicago and had done very well for herself, and her tales of the good life and better prospects were seen as wonderful advertisements for immigration. She perished on the Titanic along with her friends the Bourkes, though her niece survived. [FindaGrave.com])
