I, too, have Devitt and McLaughlin Leitrim ancestors who were buried in Calvary Cemetery in Evanston (just north of Chicago) before 1880. However, their graves are no longer shown in the records at Calvary. It was explained to me that in the early years, other people/families were interred in the same plots after a time due to space limitations- there was no guarantee of one's perpetual use of a plot as there is today in Archdiocesan cemeteries. There may well be no relationships at all between the families in the same plots. It was never explained to me, though, what happened to the previous remains when additional people were interred in a previously occupied plot. BTW, in the early years of Calvary, it was directly on Lake Michigan- there was no Sheridan Road there. When severe winter storms lashed the lakefront, graves were lost to the lake- coffins were wood and simply were destroyed or floated away. No one really knows. >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: IRL-LEITRIM-D Digest V04 #120 >Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2004 18:00:18 -0600 > >Content-Type: text/plain > >IRL-LEITRIM-D Digest Volume 04 : Issue 120 > >Today's Topics: > #1 Re: McGovern/McGoveran/McGaheran/M [[email protected]] > #2 Re: grealish [[email protected]] > #3 Re: Keighron/Cashin/Cashen/Keaine/ [[email protected]] > >Administrivia: >To unsubscribe, send an email containing one word, UNSUBSCRIBE, in the >Subject Line and Message area, to: [email protected] NO >other text! > >Still need help?
