I really do appreciate this so much! V E R Y I N T E R E S T I N G ! I am taking this, that in 1913 the remains of Mrs. Michael Leyden, from Cleveland, were then brought to Kelley's Island in 1913 for burial. Is this how you understand it? Please correct me if I am wrong. My g-grandmother, wife of Mrs. Michael (A.) Leyden, died in 1954 and I saw her grave at Calvary Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio around 1981. I wish I knew this "Mrs" first name (and maiden name) and the info on the Michael Leyden she was married to. My g-grandfather, Michael Augustus Leyden (called "Mitch") was born in 1868 and married about 1892 (that would make him about 24 years old then) and died 1934. ...just doing some numbers to see if maybe there were other marriages or something. I am not sure who this other Mrs. Michael Leyden is unless this Michael was possibly a brother to the John Leyden (the progenitor in my family tree) who was born 1830. This would make the Michael Leyden mentioned in his 70's or 80's when he died, which is very likely. Very interesting. My great-aunt Alice (born about 1900) used to visit Kelley's Island, I thought to visit her mothers grave... but then I saw it in Cleveland as stated above. This is why I wondered if I was taking this correctly. Alice was the daughter of Michael and Margaret (Keating) Leyden. The Keatings and Lynch's- wow! I believe I have a picture of Moses Lynch with a few of the Leydens near the Quarries on Kelley's Island. I will have to dig out my papers and see. Unfortunately I am unemployed and finding employment is- believe it or not- more of a priority then genealogy, tee hee. This is quite interesting. Thank you so much for stirring up more curiosity! I really do appreciate that you have taken the time for me. Peggy (nee Leyden) Schenk
