Bill Herlihy's May 24, 1987 History of Agnes Irene Drake Herlihy, Page 1:

Nickname: Snooks, origin unknown; Father: John Foster Drake, Sergeant in the Coast Artillery at Fort Totten; Mother: Agnes Irene Snyder Drake, homemaker. Mom did not graduate from High School; instead she attended a trade school for beauticians sometime in the 1920's. From 1927 (?) until 1931 she and another girl were partners in a beauty salon, right across the street from City Hall in New York City. An indication that the customers were well-to-do is a small oil painting signed "R. Gallo 1927," which was given to Mom by one of her clients at the beauty salon. It is a lovely nature scene...it hangs in my living room.... My parents met because both of their fathers worked at Ft. Totten, NY. Grandfather Herlihy was the Post Plumber from1908?-1910 until his death in 1931. The job entitled him to living quarters on the Post. Grandfather Drake was a Master Sergeant who was stationed for many years in the 101st Co. of the Coast Artillery.
