Parents: Patrick J. O'Donohue & Mary Jordan O'Donohue -
Ellen, Sarah "Donohue" & "Infant Boy O'Donohue" are all siblings and were all buried in Plot- St. Augustine 5-4 but have since been removed from this plot and buried elsewhere. I called the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and was told that there is no record or notation of where they were moved to. Kathy, the lady at the Cemetery office told me that back then, if the parents did not have money to purchase a plot, the Church buried the person at no cost. If in the future the family had another death and purchased a plot, the family world first need to bury the children in the plot they had purchased. So, these children could have been moved to another plot by the family but there is no record of it. What also could have happened was that, this St. Augustine Plot was purchased and my family were removed to another free plot if the family never purchased a plot. It is a mystery though because there is no record of where they were moved only that they were moved and the plot was sold to another family. I did find that these children's father Patrick J. O'Donohue did purchase a plot, plot # M-331- 4 or M-331-6 when his daughter Mary Catherine O'Donohue died, she is buried there with her Aunt Ann Roche and Ehtel Meakem who is Mary Catherine's Niece. I don't know if I will ever find out where these 3 little ones were reburied but I still have hope.
