On the 1910 U.S. Census, Daniel Bermingham, and his three sons, were living at 702 Jay St. with Daniel's sister Jane, now known as Jennie, and her husband John Hanrahan. Both Daniel and his brother-in-law John are firemen, employed by the City. And both of them have been "out of work" for four weeks.
There were several John Hanrahan's living in Elmira in 1910, but only one of them was a fireman. This article, published in the Star-Gazette on Aug. 3, 1910, may explain why "our" John was out of work. He seems to have had anger issues and was put on leave several times because of them.
Why Daniel was out of work, I don't know. Searching the archives hasn't turned up anything.
