Any idea on how I can find the woman that was married to Michael in Ohio? I can't get anything on Michael Whalen except that he was a widower who ended up in Kansas, living with his brother James. James immigration route was Ireland to Castle Garden to unknown US places until he gets to TN, Bates, MO to Wyandotte, KS. I have a clearer picture on Mary Ann Dempsey. Born in Washington DC to Patrick and Mary Dempsey. Then to Allegheny, Virginia, Jefferson, Indiana then to Hamiliton, TN then to Bates, MO and finally to Wyandotte, KS. I am looking for Dempsey family members who were in Kansas in the early 1900s. Also more info on James Whalen's brothers and sisters. Any ideas on where I can get more info on my widower Michael and his unknown to me wife? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

James and Mary Ann Dempsey (his second wife?) married in Hamilton, TN in 1877. Children: Katie (Catherine Elizabeth)born 1978 in Hamiliton, TN died in Kansas 1895. Mary born 1880 in Bates, MO. No record of her after 1895 when both her parents died. Did she die or move after her parents death? Jane born 1882 in Kansas. Died before 1895. Looking for information on her. James Jr. 1884 still born in Kansas. Patrick Joseph 1886 born in Kansas died 1962 in Cabell, West Virginia. John born 1888 in Kansas drowned in the river around 1985. Michael 1889 born in Kansas died 1957 in Augalize, Ohio. Edward Paul born 1892 in Kansas died 1960 in Chicago, IL. William J. born 1984 died 1930, place unknown we think Balitimore or Hagerstown, MD. So I am wondering about the above children with no information about their deaths. Also the brothers and sisters of James H. Whalen from Dungarvan, Waterford, Ireland. I have found Nora and Michael. I also think I may have found a brother John in Tennesse. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In the 1920 US Census. Edward Whalen is in Huntington Ward 6, Cabell, WV, and working as a grocery salesman. He is living with his brother, Michael J., b. about 1890 and Michael's family. Michael is listed as being born in KS, with father b. IRE and mother TN. Michael is a manager at a wholesale furniture company. Michael's wife Ethel b. abt 1903 OH. Father WV, mother OH. They have a daughter Marjorie, 3 yrs and 2 mos, in a census taken in Jan 1920. Also in the household are probably Ethel's parents, the Stewarts. Michael John Whalen's WWI Draft Registration shows him born Nov 25, 1889 in Kansas City, KS and living in Huntington WV. He is an office clerk in a plate glass company, married and with one child under 12. In the 1930 census, Michael is still in Huntington, WV and Edward is in Chicago. No way to be positive these are your people but the chances seem good. I suggest you hunt for death dates and obits for Edward and Michael. It may lead you to all the boys. Good Luck!

Thanks for the info; I have been to the museum many times but sadly it's very sporadic as to when you can find anyone that knows anything. The archivist is very helpful and some of the volunteers are too, but many don't have the knowledge I'm seeking. Sadly their hours and mine never seen to coincide. Woodlawn has been in care of the Parks Dept for many years and it's condition isn't good. There's a huge section of the cemetery that I think has become overgrown by trees and brush and almost gives the impression that it's beyond the cemetery boudaries. But in doing research and trying to ascertain locations of graves that are visible and listed in the book, I think it's part of the cemetery and has somehow become so overgrown over the years that no one realizes it's part of the cemetery. Grass hasn't been cut, trees haven't been trimmed back, that type of thing. I haven't any idea who would be in charge of something like this, that truly cares, but my family is in there and it greatly disturbs me. Unless they have a love of ancestrial burial ground, I'm sure it's just another area that has grass to cut and thousands of markers to trim around.

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, May 7, 1919 Nathan FORSHAW died yesterday at his home, 1220 Wabash Avenue. He was 72 years old. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth FORSHAW. Mr. FORSHAW came to Kansas City twelve years ago from St. Louis, where he had engaged in the hardware business for many years. The funeral services will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow at St. Aloysius Church, Eleventh Street and Prospect Avenue. Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery. (I have no connection with this family.)
