a tree lists sons
Lt Col Edward M McMahon (1909, Key West - 22 Aug 1985, Spokane WA)
Maurice (1910 - 22 AUG 1985, Spokane, 1985)
Joseph (1912 - before 1929, no location)

but I wonder if Edward M and Maurice are the same

I see where you are looking.

Can add the obit for Lt Col Edward McMahon. It mentions a Patrick Joseph McMahon living in
Omaha  NE (presumably that might be Joseph )

Interestingly Patrick Joseph did use his names the other way round in the marriage write up.
It does say the bridegrooms parents reside in Philadelphia. 

Patrick Joseph was in Los Angeles on the 1940 census
