Dennis Fahey, widower of the late Mary Mooney Fahey. Died Sunday, April 10, 1892, at the home of his daughter Eleanor Fahey Jones, Windsor Street, Marion, Ohio. Survived by one son, John J Fahey, and three daughters, Eleanor Jones, Minnie Fahey Bensley, Ardella Fahey.
Preceded in death by first wife, Honora, and son Dennis Fahey.
The Marion Star for that date names the deceased, confirms his place of death and his date of death as April 10, 1892, at the age of 88, placing his year of birth in the 1803-1804 range. Also confirms that his wife Mary predeceased him. States that the funeral will be not at the home, but at St. Mary's Church.
A mass said at a funeral indicates that the body was buried in Catholic hallowed ground, that would be St. Mary's Cemetery, Marion. A funeral at the church, without a mass, could mean either. We are unsure if a mass was said.
St. Mary's Cemetery opened for burials in 1892, but the date of the first burial is unknown to this graver. Prior to that, Marion Cemetery hosted a Catholic Section, and those graves were eventually moved to St. Mary's over a span of time. So was the body buried at Marion Cemetery and moved? Was the body buried at St. Mary's and go unmarked? In this case, the burial details are in fact, unknown, and thus should be documented until such time as a full search of the St. Mary's records be conducted. This is search is pending, but a completion date is unknown, as the office is operated by volunteers.
August 2019 - I discussed this entry with a member of the Find A Grave staff while at FGS in Washington DC. In that conversation, he had no issue with entry given the research, explanation and nature of the research.
