The Shea Place address is where Blessed Sacrament Church is located. The actual cemetery is located at the Highland Avenue address. >From what I remember from researching at the cemetery (it was a few years ago), there was a fire at the cemetery in the 1970s, which destroyed all the records. The staff at the time went through the cemetery and recorded all the data that was legible on the tombstones, but anyone whose stone was worn or did not have a stone was lost to the fire.

Thank all of you who replied.. Bryan there is no sign of John and Mary Cavaunagh on find a grave for this cemetery, but I am not sure that they died in New Rochelle. I know they lived there but they could have moved somewhere else. they probably lived into the 1950's but am having trouble finding them anywhere else. They lived at 184 Drake Ave. New Rochelle in 1930. After that I can't find them at all. Thank you for help..
