He grew up in a Catholic orphanage on Madison Avenue. By 1910, he again lived on the lower east side. In 1917, he told the draft board that he worked as a clerk in what was then New York City's diamond district, on Maiden Lane near Wall Street.Bridget Dermody was also born in 1888 on the lower east side. Her parents were from Illinois, but her grandparents were from Ireland. Her father died when she was young, but her mother remarried, and she became a Campbell. By 1910, she lived only a few blocks from Joseph.They married on June 15, 1918 at St. Rose of Lima Church near where they lived. It was a heavily Irish neighborhood just at the southern side of the ramp to the Williamsburg Bridge, which opened 1903.Joseph entered the Army on that same day.
