Paul and Nancy,
You got my interest!
My relatives are buried in Arsenal Cemetery, Watertown, NY. They, among
others, are: DENNIS FARMER died 1851, and his wife MARY MUNDAY died
1859. Their daughter, ELIZABETH FARMER, died 1857, married MICHAEL HUNT
died 1866.
And Nancy: my great great aunt, MARY LYONS was born 1834 in Ireland,
married PATRICK MYERS/MEARS in Calais, Maine. She died in Calais in
1910. They said they came from SLIGO, but it is that little piece of
Sligo, Kilmoremoy parish, which was shifted to Mayo in 1898.
