About Edward M. Cotter (fireman)
Edward M. Cotter was born in 1890 in Buffalo, New York. His parents were immigrants from Ireland. Cotter's father, Michael had fled Schull in County Cork, in the 1880s. Cotter's father had secretly taught Gaelic in Schull, which was forbidden in Ireland at that time, as it was under the rule of Great Britain, who was trying to Anglocize all of its colonies. When Michael Cotter was proclaimed an outlaw by the British Landlord of Schull, the townspeople faked his death, and he stowed away on a boat to Canada. He slowly made it down to Buffalo, where he worked in a local factory. Edward M. Cotter was the first to be born in the United States. In 1903, when Edward M. Cotter was a thirteen-year-old boy, he went to bring lunch to his father at the factory. He was bluntly informed by the foreman that his father, Michael, had died earlier that day when a piece of machinery had fallen on him and crushed his bones. It fell upon Edward M. Cotter to support his own family. He worked various jobs throughout his teenage years, before joining the Buffalo Fire Department circa 1908. posted by a relative of Edward M.
