First stop was Gates of Heaven cemetery, Hawthorne, NY:
Grand Aunt Nelly O'Grady Clancy and her husband, as well as children Charles, Geraldine, and Geraldine's husband Nick Drohan.
The neighboring plot is Grand Aunt Kitty O'Grady Sherwood and some of her family:
This is in a beautiful spot on the side of the hill, looking down into the river valley.
Next we went to in Yonkers, St Mary's cemetery.
Uncle Frank and Aunt Betty are in her family's plot (Section M, plot 10, grave 8):
Across the driveway from them is the Masseo/O'Grady plot, where Uncle John, Aunt Minnie and their daughter Joan are buried:
Note that most graveyards have the plot #s etched in the stones ... most in St Mary's don't have that!Just north in the same cemetery (St Jude's section) is Uncle Eddie McCallion and Aunt Jean:
And in the same cemetery are Grandmother Katherine Regan O'Grady, her daughter Aunt Katherine and her husband Steve Rudy:
After a quick tour of Bronxville, we headed to Calvary cemetery in Queens.
We visited Nan & Pop's graves in section 42, and headed to section 43:
This is Pop's brother Michael, who emigrated right after him in 1911 with his wife Catherine Sheridan and daughter Annie. He has two more daughters in the US before his is killed in a trolley accident in 1913. He is the grandfather of Fran Miller, among others.
(I crossed the O'Gradys and McCallions here, so will need to link this to the McCallion site are well)
