    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Annette07 Surnames: Heary Classification: cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.niagara/3159/mb.ashx Message Board Post: A few months ago I was in St. Patrick's cemetery in Lockport, NY getting some photos of family markers. Because our family has a link with one person by the name of Peter Heary, I took photos of several Heary tombstones that could be a possible connection. When I ran into the caretaker, he directed me to the correct grave of the Peter Heary I was searching for. Therefore, I happen to have pictures of some Heary monuments that are no longer of any interest for me to keep. One picture is that of a large tombstone with the name Heary inscribed on the front. Behind it are several smaller markers. One that reads: Delia. Another picture is a fallen stone that reads: Peter Heary Born July 1, 1816, Margaret Oneill His Wife Born May 6, 1818, Died Oct 9, 1889. On the side of that marker is the name of a daughter which isn't totally readable since it has sunk into the ground after falling. What I can make out of it reads: Daughter of (Blank) M. Heary Born Feb. 28, 1857, Died Sept. 13, 1888. There is also pictures of two other taller monuments. One is not readable from the picture and the other is fallen backward down a hill. I thought it was vandalism that caused it to be fallen, but the caretaker claims that it was a result of gravity on the side of the hill (although he claims that they have had extreme cases of vandalism in t! he cemetery lately). If any of these gravestones belongs to anyone in the Heary line here, let me know and I'll be happy to email you any or all of the photos..
