The Walsh Connection

I've gotten about as far as I can with Catherine McCann, so I am going to move on to tracking down the Wash connection. The Newspaper article has the following information:

Bartley Cummings and George H. Walsh, both in public service of Pittsfield, are nephews of Mr. McCann's.

Therefore, we know that George McCann's nephew George H. Walsh was living in Pittsfield in 1911 and was working as a Public Servant.

The 1910 Census has a George H. Walsh, age 50 living in Pittsfield and working as a foreman for the city.  He seems to fit the bill.  He was born about 1860 and both parents were from Ireland.  He is married to Katherine and they have two children.  Liiian M Walsh is age 26 and Arthur Walsh is 18.
