When my grandmother died in 1943 and the family tried to have the grave of her son Earl
Francis McCormick d-1932 and her brother John Carley d-1928, Holy Name Cemetery, jERSEY
cITY, nj said the deed was picked up as owner named Carroll or Farrell. They had proof of
ownership and the graves were unmarked until a stone was erected after 1932. We think
someone in the family thought my grandmother Mary Carley McCormick was trying to take
ownership of the grave so this family picked up the deed. We had to buy a new pot for
Mary.
The cemetery gave me a list of who was buried in this plot.
Mary Duner 60-1884 Ireland, Thomas Carley 17mths-1884 (parents John/Margaret), John Carley
40-1875,Catherine Duner 19-1875(Parents Bernard/Mary)Katie Carroll 6mths-1875 Parents
(John/Margaret)Not possible for John died 1 yr. before, Mary Downs (Duner?) 32-1887 could
be daughter of Mary Duner,Margaret Carley 45-1887 (Widow of John)Hugh Duner 50-1909 (have
copy of deed in his name),John Carley 57-1928, Earl Francis 29-1932. (Parents Samuel &
Mary).
When researching John Carley the name Carroll is in same file. What's up? Justine
McCormick
