Ellen McCarrick Doherty Boland
My Great Great Grandmother died on June 23, 1926. Cause of death was cardiac and renal failure. Address where she died was 4807 Ridge Avenue. What is a new discovery is I now know her parents' names. Her father's name was Michael McCarrick which makes sense as she named her first child from her first marriage Michael ()Doherty. Her mother's name was Bridget Walter so I guess I know why my great grandmother was named Agnes Bridget (Boland) but known to all by Bridget.

Agnes Bridget Boland McCaffery Death Certificate
I came across a copy of the actual death certificate of my grandmother's mother who died August 4, 1915 when my grandmother was three years old. I was told she died of an appendicitis. Her cause of death is listed as a bowel obstruction. What was interesting is my great grandmother (Agnes Bridget) was a patient at Roxborough (formally known as St. Timothy's Hospital) from July 20, 1915 to her death @ 11:40pm on August 4,1915. It listed the doctor who took care of her as well as her husband, parents, where they lived what her occupation was to her burial at Holy Sepulcher on August 7,1915 and the funeral director.

Leigue Cemetery in Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland
"Leigue cemetery is one of the largest burial grounds in County Mayo with over 3,000 graves. The "Friends of Leigue" organization chaired by Ballina town councillor, Johnnie O'Malley, has done a remarkable job of restoring the cemetery over the past decade. There are about 300 headstones in the two older sections of the cemetery: the old graveyard around the ruins of Kilmore Church, and the Old Leigue Cemetery inside the walls at the top of the hill where many graves are unmarked. The majority of the headstones are in the new section where the headstones date back to about 1900.
Kilmore Church is the oldest church in the area, dating back to the 7th century, and is said to have been founded by St Patrick. In the top photo, Kilmore Church ruins are covered in ivy. The newer section on the left is the Lindsay family vault built out of stones from the ancient church ruins. The special entrance (in the foreground) provided a place for the pall-bearers to rest the coffin as they entered the graveyard."
