What we still don't know
- Is the Annie Leahey who died 6 August 1894, aged 21, the first wife of Dennis C. Leahey? Obtain the original funeral entry, marriage and death records before assigning her dates.
- [SOURCE LIMIT] The Dempsey transcription warns that some listed dates may be burial rather than death dates; even if this candidate is Anna, 6 August 1894 cannot yet be labeled exact death.
