    3. Greetings from Streator, There is a record of a marriage between Cora E. Hastings and Anthony Pengergast on September 15, 1892 in Hancock County. Does anyone known the name of the cemetery in Hamilton, where she was buried? Is this Tony, the son of Michael and Bridget Prendergast, and brother of Sarah? Thanks, Joanie ...from Streator Daily Free Press Monday, June 22, 1895 MRS. TONY PRENDERGAST DEAD. A dispatch was received here at noon today from San Antonio, Texas, announcing the death at that place of Mrs. Tony Prendergast. The particulars were not given. Mrs. Prendergast was a victim of that dread disease, consumption, and last March she went to Texas in hope that a change of climate would prove beneficial, but the disease had too much hold on her and her death was only a question of time. Although her death was expected, yet the sad news was a severe shock to her many friends here. The deceased was a most estimable woman, about 25, years of age, and leaves a husband and one child, the latter about a year old, to mourn their great loss. It is not known whether the remains will be brought here for burial, or taken to the home of her parents near Keokuk. Mr. Prendergast will have the deep sympathy of the community in his hour of great bereavement. ...from Thursday, June 25, 1895 ---The remains of Mrs. Tony Prendergast were shipped from San Antonio, Texas, to Hamilton, Ill., where the interment is to take place.
