 Strange... her obit implies she was only survived by a niece and nephew, but this article from 1968 when she went home, states she has several siblings still alive.

As for James Quigley's obit in 1928, I did comment in Repy # 142
"Back to the 1875 census, maybe the Thomas Quigley living with brother James, is not Margaret's son Thomas. There is a puzzle though. When James dies in 1928, his obit says he has a brother Thomas in Geneva (maybe this is him in 1875), but his bio says he was the oldest of 5 sons and 1 daughter but .... Thomas in 1875 is older than him.
Standby. I am trying to sort it out."

So do we have an obit for Margaret's son Thomas in 1926? Might help sort out the Thomas Quigleys. The other possibility is that Thomas in 1875 is Margaret's son Thomas but James is incorrectly listed as a brother instead of a possible cousin.

Here is Thomas's obit in 1926. Listed surviving siblings are a brother Benjamin F Quigley and a sister Mrs. Charles Coddington of Rochester. He was buried at Washington Street Cemetery, the same cemetery listed for his wife Elizabeth.

On the 1875 census, we have Benjamin with brother William in one household, and Thomas with brother James with wife Esther in another household. But is he really a brother, as James is 23 and Thomas is 26, and James' obit says he was the oldest of  a family of 5 sons and 1 daughter whereas Margaret's obit says she had 3 sons and 2 daughters surviving her and doesn't mention this James who is still living. Maybe James is really a cousin. I have to study this.
Regarding his wife Esther Love, that brings us full circle to Nancy Jane Watterson, nee Love, that we were researching in Lincoln, Rhode Island, widow of Jonathan Watterson, who died in 1884 in Ireland and Nancy Jane aka Annie emigrated with all her children abt Sept 1890. Nancy and Esther's sister Mary Love married Samuel Henderson and they had a daughter Elizabeth in Dec 1897 after which Mary died, maybe a week later. The fourth sister Sarah Love married Robert Henderson.

To help complete the circle and connect more dots, here is the obit for Thomas's wife Elizabeth. She died in 1914. Elisabeth was the sister of Ester (Love) Quigley and Nancy J (Love) Watterson.

I see on that 1875 Geneva census that you sent there is a Margaret Quigley age 55. I am thinking she might be my Margaret Ann Watterson bapt June 5,1819 who may have married a Quigley and Benjamin is her son - it says Grandmother on census but must be mother as per the ages on census. So if Mary Jane is the daughter of George Watterson, who is Margaret Ann's brother, that would make Margaret Quigley age 55, Mary Jane's aunt. And Benjamin would be Mary Jane's cousin - all in the family. Why don't they just say cousin? But I have seen before when an adult son is in a household, he might be listed as servant, instead of son.

There are tons of articles in the various Geneva papers about Quigley and Watterson with marriages and deaths.

This would be Margaret at Find A Grave with obit attached. A lot of the family seems to be buried in Glenwood Cemetery.

Both Robert Weir's obit in 1924 and his wife Mary J's obit in 1914 list Glenwood Cemetery as place of burial, though I don't see them listed on Find A Grave.

Also, there is an Elisa Jane Watterson Quigley listed there.

Eliza married a Samuel Quigley in 1883.

Earlier in this posting, Isabelle Dotson's death in Los Angeles in 1948 was mentioned. She was the daughter of James Waterson and Matilda Booth. Today I received her obit and I will try to attach it. Names 7 children but they must be from 2 marriages as some are named Rigby.

Thank you so very much RJ137. This is great! Doing the math, if Jane was in her 69th year, I think that means born abt 1840. I know, I know, years are not always accurate in earlier times. However, this is for sure the person I am researching and I do appreciate having this obit.
I now have to figure out which daughter married Hyram Forbush. And Hopkins.

Mary's death in 1923 was quite tragic and sad.

Yes, I have looked at everything available but was hoping for a death certificate or an obituary in order to clarify things.
