  • Notes 
    • Joe was buried in casket beside Robert McAloney. When Edie realized this, she immediately became disoriented, experienced extreme dizziness, lost her balance, and almost fell completely to the ground between two headstones. Mary grabbed her arm and David rushed to her side to help. This was witnessed by mother and myself and I can only surmise that it was the shock of learning at that moment that Joe was to be buried beside Robert in the plot that had been reserved for her. I also don't believe that she felt too happy about knowing that Joe was going to be resting below her when her time came. Leading up to Joe's burial, Mary had also approached me about permitted Joe to be buried in my father's and mother's plot. I absolutely refused and basically said that it was up to his children where he should be buried and not up to Mary. She also asked if there was any possibility of burying him in my grandmother's and grandfather's plot. At that time I did not know the status and so I said "no the plot was closed".
