Looks as if she was still alive and living with her husband John A. at the same address at the time of the 1950 census. John passes away in 1952 and she is mentioned in the obit. (Fred is the son who wasn’t writing home) www.findagrave.com/memorial/222...

Some of my other favorites in the exhibit: the earliest library ‘catalogue’ (Cod. Sang. 728, 9th c), a better lit look at the Faddan More Psalter, the Lough Kinale book shrine, and a marginal medieval cat-tiger-thing
