The New York Herald (New York, NY) Friday, March 27, 1863; col A (Death notices) DIED. KIRLY -- On Thursday, March 26, JOHN KIRLY, formerly of Riddlestown, parish of Rathkeale, county Limerick, Ireland, aged 46 years. The relatives and friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, from his late residence, No. 13 Stanton street. His remains will be taken to Calvary Cemetery for inter- ment. Limerick papers please copy. NOTE: One portion of this cemetery is in Brooklyn with the other portion of it being in Queens. In 1852 the Common Council of NYC passed a law prohibiting any more burials in Brooklyn/Manhattan--so based on the date of death this person is likely buried in the QUEENS portion of this cemetery. Most of the burials in the Brooklyn/Manhattan portion of the cemetery were of poor Irish children under the age of 7. The very first Shanahan in my family line to be born on USA soil [Patrick Joseph Shanahan 17 Mar 1862-16 Aug 1862] is buried in the Queens portion of the cemetery.
