Notes:

1. I was told that Annie’s last name was Snow, the same name as Thomas L. Keating’s wife. This may have been a mistake.
2. Her name is Cronin, the same name as the husband of Thomas P. Keating’s sister, Mary Cronin – Patrick Cronin.
3. Why, if her name was Cronin, was her sister “Miss Conlin”?
4. What drew this particular line of Keatings to Fitchburg, Mass?
5. Saint Bernard’s Cemetery is located in Fitchburg, Worchester County, Massachusetts.
