Dear Friends, A single, Irish immigrant named Alexander McGUIRE died at St. Catherine's Hospital, 133 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206 http://www.brooklynvisualheritage.org/st-catherines-hospital on Monday afternoon, November 29, 1886, certificate # 14320. This is Ward 15 and in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. He was a patient at St. Kit's for about 6 weeks before dying of "red blood swelling of the brain." Alexander was 53 years old, and born about 1832-1833, and according to his death certificate, both of his parents were also born in Ireland. He worked as a laborer and no informant, or home address, or usual residence, is noted on his death certificate. St. John's Cemetery in Queens confirmed Alexander's burial on 1 December 1886, although he does not appear in their online cemetery index search. He is interred in Section 18, the "free ground" aka "charity" section where a large Statue of the Blessed Mother marks the entire section; there are no individual markers. Section 18 by is just within the back gates off of Furmanville Avenue. Let's connect Lawrence McGUIRE to his family in Ireland. Can anyone find an Obit, Naturalization or any other viable facts? Barb
