Rose's godfather was P. McCratton. Bernard and Ellen had two children born in Kildress: Mary Ellen born in Oct 1879 and Joseph Francis born Oct 1880. Two additional children were born in Chicago: Peter 1885 and Agnes born 1888. Bernard died in 1909 and Ellen in 1932 at Milwaukee, WI,apparently visiting there, but buried at Calvary Cemetery in Evanston, IL. Does anyone know where Bernard and Ellen were from and their parents? Thanks, John E. Corrigan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
