16 Nov 03 - 05:18 AM (#1054580) Subject: BS: 'Grave' Request From: Fiolar I have a book called "The Wild Heather Glen" which covers the Kilmichael ambush and has mini-biographies of all the paricipants. Some of the "Boys" later went to the United States and some lived out their lives there. I wonder if any 'catter living in California could perhaps get some information/photo of the grave of one of the lads, namely James O'Mahoney (1897 - 1979). He died while working in his garden in Sunny Vale, California and is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. Thanks for any help. |

Colma is just North, in San Mateo County, and has mile after mile of graveyards. Even people from Colma joke about the fact that dead people there outnumber the living. |

The purpose of that organization is that info will be found and you may be requested to do similar searches in your area. i do not see anyprofile for Fiolar...i presume you are in Ireland? |

17 Nov 03 - 02:54 AM (#1055205) Subject: RE: BS: 'Grave' Request (San Francisco area) From: Joe Offer Fiolar, I added "San Francisco" to your thread title to see if that wakes up any of the people in that area. Colma is 125 miles from me, so I'm not going to volunteer. I can't think of anybody who's right near Colma, but maybe somebody will make the drive for you. Good luck. -Joe Offer, in the Sierra foothills of California (Colfax)- |

I truly thought it was a throw away line in another song. Now that i've read the lyrics I'm sure Alzheimers has paid a visit. I know the whole darn song. Very Stirring! |
