Calvary Cemetery Lookup

[Michael ONeil]

Wondered if it was possible for someone in the area to check out the following at Calvary?

I'd like the section, range, plot and grave details for the following burial which occurred at Calvary Cemetery and if there are any other family members’ details associated with the plot. I am hoping there might be a spouse James O’Neil and/or parents Norman Ames and Mary (Beechinor) Ames in the same location.

Name of deceased: Angela (Ames) O’Neill
Date of burial: 5th April 1902
Death certificate number: 10587
Address of deceased: 121 E. 82nd Street, Manhattan
Undertaker: J. F. Smith
Address of undertaker: 1467 3rd Avenue

Am hoping for the extra family info if there but I'd like to make a photo request on the Find A Grave site.

Cheers.

Hello...

Angela (A) O'Neill is buried in Calvary Cemetery at:

Section One West
Avenue V
Plot #3
Graves 10, 11, 12

For once I got a very helpful lady on the phone at Calvary and she stated that Angela (aged 48)  is buried in Grave #11.  These 3 plots were purchased April 7, 1869 by someone named Johanna Goode.    She also stated that since it is a 3 grave plot. there "are a lot of people in there", however, she did not convey any other names to me.   Hopefully, if there is still a headstone, you might be able to get additional information. 

In case you do not have it yet, I have found a copy of her obituary from the NY Herald, although it won't let me attach it for some reason.

Best Regards!

The Obituary was covered in a previous thread:-

Thanks, Shellyesq - I'm still learning how the site works.

I am so glad I joined this forum - thanks so much everything.relative I really appreciate that.

Just so you know, Joanna Goode was Angela's aunt - Joanna Beechinor married a George Goode and Angela's parents were Norman Ames and Mary Beechinor. George Goode died in January 1869 so the plots were probably purchased in response to that. I'm trying to find the last resting place of Angela's husband James O'Neil (death reputed to be NY in 1905-06) and was hoping he might be with her. My evidence however appears to indicate that Angela and James were estranged so I'm not too hopeful and I reckon the plots will be Beechinor related as that family appear to be the connecting family in my research.

As was mentioned the obituary was covered on another thread and that lead gave me the info for the death certificate and place of burial and hence to this thread. I have written to Calvary in the hope that they can give me the related info for the other graves and I'll obviously post something up on Find A Grave.

Once again a really big thanks for this.

Michael.

I do photo requests for Old Calvary a/k/a Calvary 1 a/k/a St. Calixtus Division.  I will add O'Neill to my list, as I have 3 other photo requests in 1 West.  The stock photo is not the correct photo for Calvary 1.

Hi Barbara,

I really appreciate your offer but there's no need.

Since posting I'd written to Calvary asking for more info about the plot and the 3 graves. I had a bit of a double take when I saw their reply - they told me there are 19 people buried there and at first I thought it said $18.00 for the info but it was in fact $180.00!!!

So I posted a request on findagrave hoping for a headstone that might possibly include Angela's husband James but unfortunately there wasn't one.

Thinking about writing and asking specifically about James and enclosing a $10.00 donation - that way I can put to bed the possibility of James being buried with his wife.

Anyhow thanks again - hope you read this before your visit.

Michael.

I live a few blocks from there.  Since you have the location section, etc.  I will take a look.  I'm not sure what the $18 is for.

I know 1 West.  It could be a mausoleum because 1 West is the only section with mausoleums.  I will take a look at what is at the location.  You think it's 1905 or 1906 for his date of death?
