The first Calgary phone book from 1903 gives Irish Mellon's phone number as 53. He lived at the Blue Rock Hotel, which he managed. The address given is simply Stephen Avenue (now 8 Street SW).
An unidentified newspaper clipping (probably the Calgary Herald) says this:
"In the early 1900's the Blue Rock became the Albion... This was the era of proprietor Edward 'Irish' Mellon, a robust, jovial Irishman, as his nick-name implies, who operated the hotel from 1900 to 1915 when he and his sons enlisted in the First World War. Mrs. Mellon ran the hotel until his return in 1919 when they took a service-man's homestead near Youngtown."Edward married Elizabeth M. Flitten MCGRAFF on 7 Jan 1892.
