Michael Phelan (of billard table and billard rooms fame) died on the 7th. October 1871 and is buried in Old Calvary Cemetery, NY. He arrived in NY in 1817 from Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Does any contributor know of his burial location and headstone inscription. Regards, Tony Mc Carthy

I have family buried in Calvary, and I have had great contacts with them. I have also had success finding local photographers through www.findagrave.com who will go take a photo and email it to you. This page lists details about Calvary, including their phone number. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=64107 Call Calvary with name and date of death; over the phone, they will tell you the plot information [I think that they can also let you know immediately if their records indicate whether or not there is a headstone for the plot] and they will let also you know how many interments are in the plot. More details are available by mail if you wish to pay.
