Kenneally, postal clerk Built in 1896 Researched and written by Leslie Fontaine March 2022 Historic Salem Inc. 9 North Street, Salem, MA 01970 (978) 745-0799 | info@historicsalem.org © 2022 �(Photo courtesy of Patriot Properties) Osgood Street, located just off Bridge Street, is named for Capt. John Osgood (1757-1826)1. Bridge Street Neck is on a peninsula of land between the North River and Collins Cove. It is a compact urban neighborhood located a short distance from downtown Salem and serving as an important gateway into the city from the town of Beverly to the north. The resources of Bridge Street Neck, ranging from the late 18th century to the present day include the homes of prosperous sea captains and merchants, as well as the dwellings of the middling and working classes who found employment in the neighborhood’s maritime-related businesses and, in nearby factories and car shops during the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the late 19th century, the growth of Bridge Street Neck was fueled by a variety of neighborhood industries including factories that produced jute bags, leather, and lead products as well as the repair shops and car barns for several railroads. This house is located within an area believed to be the first settlement of Europeans in Salem in 1626 and is one of the first colonies along the New England coast.2 This house first appears in the 1897-1898 Salem City Directory with Austin M. Banks, a car carpenter, inhabiting the 41 Osgood Street side, and Henry L. Andrews, a car carpenter, inhabiting the 43 Osgood Street side. The 1897 atlas of Salem is the first atlas in which this house makes an appearance so we can reasonably conclude the 1 2 https://www.noblenet.org/salem/wiki/index.php/Street_names_in_Salem United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places 1 �house was built the year before, in 1896. Given the year this house was built, the hipped roof, high peaked dormers, and bay windows suggest the style to be Victorian Eclectic. (Map of Salem in 1700 by Sydney Perley)3 Kenneally Family (1892-1947) Mrs. Margaret M. (Mahoney) Kenneally, wife of John M. Kenneally, a railway postal clerk, purchased this lot of land in November of 1892. It was purchased along with the land on the corner of East Collins and Osgood Street, later numbered 39, and this is where she and her family live throughout the time they owned the property next door. Shortly after Mrs. Margaret Kenneally purchased the property she had the 41-43 Osgood Street house built, evidently for rental income as she never appears to have lived there. The residents over the years have ranged from machinists to car carpenters and a florist, all listed out in the residents' table. Eventually, her son, 3 Perley, S. (18971909).

It is uncertain the exact date of their passing but it seems it was sometime between the 1930 and 1940 censuses5. The 1920 census lists John M. Kenneally, age 60, and Margaret M., age 58, both from Ireland, living at 39 Osgood Street with their 30-year-old son, and the household listing for the 1930s census shows they were still all occupying the house next door to 41-43 Osgood. At this time John had retired and Joseph was still working as the Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools. By the 1940s census, J. Arthur Kenneally, Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools, was listed as the head of household at 39 Osgood Street with his wife, Helene. Ayers Family (1947-2010) Mary L. (Balicka) Ayers was born April 1, 1927 in Woonsocket, RI, to Josef & Elizabeth (Jablonski) Balicka. Robert Francis Ayers was born May 21, 1921 in Salem, MA, to James Francis Ayers & Elizabeth C. (Bates) Ayers. Robert predeceased his wife on March 20, 1998, while Mary lived until September 5, 2010.6 Mary had been employed by the City of Salem in their school lunch program for over 20 years, retiring in 1991. In 1950, Robert was a foundry worker at a shoe machine manufacturing company.7 Together they had 2 children: a son, Richard F. Ayers and a daughter, Jane (Ayers) Beck.8 The 1946 Salem City Directory shows an Ayers family started occupying the 41 Osgood Street side of this house one year before they purchased the entire property.
