Pedigree Chart of Edward J Casey
     The nationality of Ann Mulroy was Irish. She was Roman Catholic. She came to America with her brother, Thomas, and her sister. This was after her brother, John, and sister, Mary, came to Carbondale in 1847. John worked in the mines until he had saved enough money to send for them. The most likely route for Ann's trip from New York to Carbondale would be up the Hudson river to the Delaware and Hudson Canal. Then she would have traveled along the canal to Honesdale. From Honesdale, she would have taken the gravity railroad over the mountain into Carbondale.
Ann was born on 22 December 1830, at Killala, County Mayo, Ireland.4
Killala, County Mayo, Ireland, 1864.
She married Thomas Casey on 16 April 1854 at Carbondale, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania 18407.5 Ann died on 19 December 1894 at Carbondale, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania 18407, at age 63. The following obituary appeared in the Carbondale Herald, December 20, 1894: MRS. CASEY'S DEATH Occurred Yesterday Afternoon at Her Home on Gordon Avenue.
      Once more are we called upon to chronicle the sad death of one of our most respected residents. Mrs. Ann Casey of 120 Gordon avenue.
      For the past few months deceased had been a great sufferer and the coming of the grim messenger was a merciful relief. She ahd been troubled with a complication of diseases, which finally resulted in a severe attack of pneumonia which resulted in her death yesterday afternoon.
      Mrs. Casey was universally beloved for her gentle and amiable disposition and her death has cast a gloom over her many friends. She was a devout Christian and bore her sufferings with a fortitude characteristic of the Christian only.
      By her death the city suffers a loss of one of its oldest citizens, a large family loses a kind and loving mother, who was ever ready and watchful to contribute to their needs and comfort.
      Deceased was the widow of the late Thomas Casey and was a native of County Mayo, Ireland, from which place she came with her husband to this country, in 1820. They located in this city, and have since resided here. She was 65 years of age and is survived by eight children, five sons and three daughters. They are Maggie, Katie and Ella, John, Martin and Edward, of this city, James of Olyphant, and Thomas of Jermyn.
      The funeral will be held tomorrow at 9:30 o'clock in the church of St. Rose of Lima a requiem high mass will be celebrated. Interment will be made in St. Rose cemetery.
     The following also appeared in the December 20, 1994 edition of the Carbondale Leader:
      MRS. THOMAS CASEY
     Mrs. Ann Casey, of Gordon avenue, died at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Casey had been ill the past three weeks, but it had been believed that her condition was somewhat improved when suddenly pneumonia developed and the end came. Mrs. Casey was the widow of the late Edward [Thomas] Casey, who died ten years ago. Her maiden name was Ann Mulroy. She was born in County Mayo, Ireland sixty-five years ago and has resided in this city forty-five years. The deceased was a kind and loving mother, a faithful Catholic and a true neighbor. Her demise will be mourned by many throughout the valley. Seven children survive her, Maggie, Ellen, Katie, Edward, at home and James of Olyphant. John and Thomas, who are married.
     The funeral will take place tomorrow morning. The cortege will leave her lat home at 9 a.m. and proceed to St. Rose church where a requiem mass will be said. Internment will be made in St. Rose cemetery.6
.7,8 Her funeral was held on 21 December 1894, at at St. Rose of Lima Church, at Carbondale, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania 18407. Jane Anderson McAulifee has a copy of a memorial funeral notice which was passed on to her by Sister Francis Marie Melroy. It reads: Mrs. Casey Buried. A Large Attendance at the Obsequies This Morning.
      The funeral of the late Mrs. Ann Casey of Gordon Avenue took place this morning from her late residence. At ten o'clock a high mass of requiem was celebrated at the church of St. Rose by Rev. J.J. Curran. The choir rendered very impressive music during the services. At the close of the mass Father Curran preached a fitting sermon appropriate to the occasion. He took for his text, Psalms 22rd, fourth verse: Though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me."
      During his remarks the reverend speaker said: Death is certain for us all. It comes like a thief in the darkness of the night, and takes us into an unknown eternity. We should not hear death if we walk in the way of the Lord. King David was bold and feared no death. He walked with his God. Where is there is no death, where he is there is life. Sooner or later we will feel the rod of God striking us either by the loss of a friend, a mother or in some other affliction, but God never sends his rod, His staff accompanies it. His staff is His Divine Grace to soothe us in our affliction.
      There is one thing in this world which we are to dread. Temptation may assail us, sorrow may visit us, but we must shun sin which brings everlasting damnation to the soul. This woman whose corpse lies here in like that of King David. She feared not death, God was with her during the days of her life. She suffered a long time before the end came. She bore it all with fortitude and patience. She had the staff of God with her, and when the rod of Him was about to strike she feared it not.
      During her illness she received the sacraments of the Church. Her life was a guarantee of her death. She was left many years ago with a large family, and she cared for them well. Their education was not neglected. She was ever solicitous as to their moral training. They approached the sacraments regularly. Her duty was [done] well. Her life I would recommend as one of piety.
      While the remains were being carried from the Church, the choir sang "Nearer my God to Thee." Patrick Donough, Michael Muldoon, Martin McKenna, Michael Walsh, Martin Scanlon and Thomas Rouse were the pall bearers.
      The remains were laid to rest in St. Rose cemetery. The obsequies were largely attended.
. Her body was interred on 21 December 1894, at St. Rose Cemetery at Carbondale, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania 18407.
