Good morning from Colorado -
I am trying to update the family tree of my wife. Her Great Grandmother was Catherine Devine. Catherine (McGregor) Devine was married to Thomas Devine. Thomas was a musician in the Army and moved quite frequently. Before my father in law passed away he talked of Catherine dying in Falls Church Va. The story goes that Catherine's hair caught on fire and this was the cause of death. I believe she is buried in Falls Church somewhere. The family is originally from Orwell, Ohio but was living in Falls Church Virginia.
The oldest daughter Anne (Devine) Moore took on the responsibility of raising her siblings, Eric, Eugene, Thomas and Ethel, as the father raced all over the nation in the Army. The family remembers not knowing where the father was at times. I do not know when Catherine died but it had to be between 1902 and 1910. Eric was born in 1902. The 1930 Census have the kids living with Uncles and Anne in Ohio. Any help would be greatly appreciated on finding her final resting place or any news on the cause of death. I have searched the cemeteries and the death certificates but to no avail. Thank you in advance and make it a great day.
