Johanna Slattery is believed to have married William Dowling circa 1855 in Ardfert Parish, County Kerry, Ireland. Her husband, William, was born circa 1830 and died before 1901, but migrated to the U.S. circa April 1871. Several months later Johanna followed in December 1871 on the S.S. Denmark with their seven children (Patrick, John, Anna, Margaret, Bryan, Mary, Catherine). In 1873, while living in Hamilton Twp, Tioga Co., Pennsylvania, Johanna and William had an eighth child as a son, William Dowling (1873-1937).
Sometime around 1897, Johanna moved with her husband William to Corning, Steuben Co., New York.
Very little documentation about Johanna exists. However, newspaper articles confirm that she was buried in Blossburg, PA. It can be assumed she was buried without a grave marker in St. Andrews Cemetery where several other relatives, including her youngest son William was buried. Articles confirm she died on Friday, December 3, 1909 with subsequent funeral services on Monday, then she was sent from Corning to Blossburg for burial.
