Mr. John McEneaney

John McEneaney, 23, was the son of Peter McEneaney, a fowl dealer, from Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland.

McEneaney was traveling aboard Lusitania in to visit his family and was lost when the ship was torpedoed and sunk on 7 May 1915. His family made inquiries as to his fate after his name did not appear on the list of survivors.
