small article in The Circus Review
no date seen

some quotes" They were the start of Holyoke's famous circus family"

"Soda doing his acrobactics and Mrs. Soda Sulliva, a bare-back horse rider"

Soda retired in 1918

"They trained their children and the family tradition  was established with daughters, Rose Porter Murphy
and Eileen Larey Voise who became famous aerialist"

"Their granddaughter, Mrs. Arden Larey Kreisch went right into the flying trade after she graduated from Holyoke High School in 1952"

"There was always a parade in those days. The whole circus would march down the center of town to the
big top."

"Soda and his wife, the former Rose Donoghue, spend a great deal of their time showing their old
circus albums to friends"
