Mary was the daughter of Seamus James and Rose Gallagher Gallagher.
She was my great Aunt, sister to my grandfather James Gallagher.
She was married to John Burke and widowed very young in 1902 and had to work very hard to raise her children: 3 girls and 1 boy.
Mary Gallagher Burke is the Mother of Rose Burke Meehan.
Mary was also a mid-wife, and prepared bodies for burial.
When Great Aunt Annie (Mary's sister) died, she left Mary's son, James Burke $400 to be used for a headstone for his Mother's grave.

Pieces of the Past
It only takes a word or two, to jog our memory back to thoughts and things of yesterday, those "pieces of the past." When we were small and the world seemed large we listenend and we learned, to things our parents had to say with great love and much concern To bring back only one more day we'd give so very much to hear those little worthwhile things or feel that special touch So to our children we pass the things that are instilled in us to last and go with us forever more. Those "pieces of the past."
