My dad was born and raised in Madison and I have had the pleasure to
visit Madison 3 times. The last 2 times were in 1995 & 1997 and LOVED
(still do!)HANGING ROCK HILL Rd!! I remember when I was only about 5
yrs old and the road went under the hanging rock.

My father's uncle is buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery and if I remember
correctly there is a church just across the road from it (well, across
from the really old section). I would assume (I know-never assume) that
the church is the Catholic church. You might try a directory for the
phone number of the church.
