Thomas and Bridget (Tonra) Cannon
Thomas Cannon (1867-1940) and Bridget (Tonra) Cannon (1869-1942) both emigrated from Ireland. They married in 1892 and were listed at 1 Walter Ave. in “The Farm” neighborhood by 1900. By 1918 they had moved to “The Point” neighborhood finally settling in at 90 Highland Rd. where they lived with Cannon and Tonra extended-family members. They raised seven surviving children in Brookline.
Thomas Cannon worked for a number of years as a gardener for a private estate. This has been reported as the “Webster’s estate” but it is not yet identified. There was a “Webster’s estate” with an on-site gardener’s cottage in Chestnut Hill but that does not appear to be a likely match

James Christopher Lyons, Brookline Fireman (1868-1911)
His family moved to Brookline in the early 1870s and lived in the Village on Boylston St. He was married in 1895 at St. Mary’s Church, lived at 42 Walter Ave., and worked as a gas fitter for Cousens Bros. His father lived nearby in Roxbury and ran the “Home Bakery” store at 36 Washington St. in the Village from 1902 – 1917.
In April 1899, Lyons applied to the town for the position of Inspector of Gas Fitting. This application was presumably unsuccessful as he joined the Brookline Fire Department shortly after that, starting as a hose man at the new fire station in Washington Square. By 1901, he was working as an engineer for steam engine #1 at Station D at 796 Boylston St. by Reservoir Road. After living at several locations near the fire station, he, his wife, and four children settled at 771a Boylston St. He died from nephritis, at age 42.
