Markers at Cathedral Church and St. Patrick




Noel Dawson's Slant Marker






This marker was found at Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  This is a slant marker.  This slant marker belongs to Noel Dawson who was born December 25th, 1884 and died on January 5, 1925. This is a very old marker and is a little hard to read.
Pedestal Marker









This is a pedestal marker found at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  It is hard to read the name, date of birth, and when he/she died but what is visible is the word sacred.  Therefore, this person must have been religious.




Bedstead Marker






This is a bedstead marker found at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  This is a very old marker, therefore from the picture the information is not legible.
The Sandifer's Ledger





This is a ledger marker found at Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  These two ledgers belong to the Sandifer family.  These are also hard to read, but what I can see is that the ledger to the right, Thelma J. Sandifer was born in 1919 and died in 2016.  The ledger on the left belonged to Dr. Samuel H. Sandifer who was born in 1916 and died in 2001. Considering these two ledgers are right next to each other, this must have either been two people who were married or family members.

Harley Ingraham Pickens' Lawn Marker






This is a lawn marker found at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  This lawn marker belongs to Harley Ingraham Pickens who died on October 23, 1962.  Pickens did not specify when she was born.

John Holland's Tombstone






This marker is a headstone/tombstone found at Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  This tombstone belongs to Ann Holland the consort of John Holland.  Consort of refers to Ann Holland being the spouse of a reigning monarch which I find very interesting.  Ann Holland died on October 26th, 1827.










The William Johnson Mausoleum 



This marker is part of the mausoleum which belongs to the family of William Johnson and is found at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  William Johnson lived from 1776-1840.  On the marker it says "This mausoleum built in 1844 by the family of William Johnson 1776-1840 as a resting place for his remains and for those of his descendants who wish to be placed herein "E" restored by the family in 1848." Therefore, it is not known how many people are actually in this mausoleum.









John Hanckel's Cross Marker







This marker is a cross, but also looks like a die on socket, found at Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul.  This cross marker belongs to John Hanckel who lived from February 25th, 1821 until January 13th 1886.














Pastor Rt. Rev. Mgre D.J. Quigley V.G.'s Base and Cap

This marker is a die/base and cap found at St. Patrick Catholic Church.  This base and cap belongs to Rt. Rev. Mgre. D.J. Quigley V.G.  It does not say when he was born, but it does say he died on November 27th, 1903.  Lastly, on the marker it says "In memory of Rt. Rev. Mgre. D.J. Quigley V.G. who erected this church of which he was the beloved pastor 19 years. Died November 27, 1903. His grateful people have erected this monument." Therefore, this pastor was clearly very well      liked and appreciated.




Mrs. Eliza Hennessy Headstone







This marker is a headstone found at St. Patrick Catholic Church.  This headstone belongs to Mrs. Eliza Hennessey.  This headstone is very old and hard to see when exactly Mrs. Eliza Hennessey lived/died but what I can tell from this headstone is that she is very religious.  Considering there is a cross on the headstone, this resembles her love for God/ a symbol of her faith.
