"Thank you Karen and Tom,
Yes, I have sent for death cert from New Castle PA and I did recieve some information
on Joseph Gaughan but I am still waiting for
the information on James Gaughan and Alice
M.J. Connelly! which I hope will tell me what
part of Ireland from where they came and also
when they were born.
My grandfather was son to Joseph Gaughan.
His name was George J. Gaughan (Tex) was his
nick name. they called him Tex because he always dressed in cowboy shirts. He was first married to Hazel Sheffler but they were
divorced after my father was born. He later
married another women by the name of Betty
and re-located to Akron Ohio where he died.
He is not buried in Ohio because my father had his body brought back to Pennsylvania and
he was buried at Calvary Cemetery. Leechburg
is not far from Pittsburgh. I wonder if any
of my aunts Betty Gaughan Quattman or Dorthy
Gaughan are buried at Prospect??? Thanks for
the suggestions! Respectfully Kevin Gaughan"

[I am unsure if this is the correct Calvary Cemetery. Leechburn is in Armstrong County and FAG does not have a Calvary Cemetery listed there. It is important to note that his second wife, mentioned here only as Betty, was really Kittie "Betty" Blanch Prunty, my cousin.]
