Unpublished manuscript. Undated. "Masry Finnerty Lyons died at home in 1960, March 4th, at age 74. She was waked at home and all the grandchildren sat on the stairs as they always did when there was a lot of company in the house. There was a very bad snow and while Richie and Jimmy were moving out the furniture from the livingroom to make room for the wake, Tom & Bill Van der Zalm shoveled the whole front lawn for the cars to park. She was buried in the cemetery in back of the house [Oaklawn cemetery]; and the church that she and all her children were so faithful to all those years, refused her a funeral Mass because the cemetery was not a Catholic cemetery.
