In July 1907, John's younger sisters May and Kathleen traveled from Chicago with their father Thomas to Thomas's hometown of Inistioge, Kilkenny, Ireland for an extended visit. ^[14] While there, they lived in the home of Thomas's widowed mother, Mary (Butler) Galavan, above the pub the family owned on the town square. The two girls were enrolled in a nearby convent school, and their father helped run the pub. ^[15]

John, May, and Kathleen would later relate that their mother Mary Ann (Dooner) Galavan eventually decided that her husband "was having too much fun" in Inistioge, and she dispatched John from Chicago to bring his father and sisters back home. ^[15]

In June 1909, John and his sisters May and Kathleen traveled with their father Thomas from Ireland back to their home in Chicago. ^[16]
