1878 Burial
He is buried with his daughter Margaret, his infant grandson Walter, and his infant granddaughter Bridget. Nancy Murphy, who is shown in that plot on the cemetery website, is not a relative. Calvary Cemetery staff say she was buried in this plot and later moved to the plot she paid for. (Her husband was a DIFFERENT Michael Murphy.) I do not know why they do not correct this record on their website.
