During
our first day of researching our Brady family roots in Ct my cousin & I stayed indoors. It was a
rainy autumn day and we limited ourselves to uncovering facts in the Ansonia
Library, the Derby Historical Society & the Ansonia City Hall. The second
day was dry and we headed to cemeteries.
Pine Grove Cemetery
15 Church Street, Ansonia CT
We
found two members of the family of Owen Brady & Mary McGovern. Their daughter,
Agnes V Brady Renker, was buried with her husband. Their grandson, Eugene W
Brady, and his wife were there also.
RENKER
Husband: George P.; 1898 – 1970
Wife: Agnes V.; 1899 – 1978
BRADY
Eugene W. Sr.; 1 September 1923
– 15 November 1981
Ruth B.; 8 January 1928 – 27 August
2009
We found Agnes & George
first. My cousin had called ahead and knew which plot to look in. We did not
know where to find Eugene & Ruth and the office was closed. However, we
were able to find the supervisor of the cemetery and he took us right to the
tombstone we needed. It was a beautifully tended cemetery.

Very peaceful setting.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a glorious day for your "field work" outdoors, Colleen! Glad you found what you were looking for, too, especially if it was a large cemetery. Nice to have a working partner from the family as well. Teamwork always makes it more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteJacqi, it was much more fun having a cousin to share the day!
