    3. I am trying to find out more about the Catholic Cemetery in Charlestown. I believe my g g grandmother was buried there in 1834. I have written letters in an attempt to learn more about the cemetery and where the records may have been kept. I was told that probably no records were kept. I read the book Fire and Roses and I get the impression that a Catholic Cemetery was established in Charlestown in 1830 by Bishop Fenwick and that in 1834 a caretaker house was built even though the cemetery was "a target for threatened violence". If anyone knows anything else about the cemetery, I would appreciate so much being contacted. Were there burials there after 1834? My g g grandmother was Hannah Moakeler (Moakler) and she was buried 26 Nov 1834. She was the wife of Michael Moakler. Thank you, Charlene Hyde charh22@silverstar.com
