Saturday on the Stoop... or Porch



Joseph Albert Koreman (1911-1992), my maternal grandfather, age two years old. He stands on the stoop of his home at 8 Osborne Street where he was born. The home was demolished years ago. His parents were Joseph William Koreman (1886-1977) and Mary Albert (1886-1963).

Joe married Agnes Johanna Bailey (1919-2001) on 08 December 1942 at Holy Cross Church on Hamilton Street in Albany. They had two children. Joe was an electrician by trade and became the business agent for the electrical workers union; the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local # 724 in 1947 and held that position for 29 years until his retirement in 1976. He and Agnes are buried at Our Lady Help of Christians cemetery in Glenmont.
