Michael and Rachel were members of St. Patrick's Church, Deer Creek Twp. Oklahoma County, OK
From Edmond Historical Society:
"book in research library on the St. Patrick's Catholic Church -
listed Michael and Rachael as members. In 1921 it listed Mrs. R. Feeney as a member."
She (they) came to America abt. 1862 from England.
She sewed shirts for the Union Army during during Civil War.
In 1914 she was struck in the temple by a stray bullet in Edmond, Oklahoma.
The source of the shot was never learned. She survived the injury.
She was 71 years of age at the time.
There is reportedly a newspaper article at a later date about the incident .
(date of article might be: MAY 28 1925)
There is a discrepancy on Rachel's date of birth.
Her death certificate shows February 2, 1838 as her d.o.b.
Funeral home records do not indicate a date of birth for her.
T.P. McAuliff "informant" provided information for the death certificate.
He is a grandson "by marriage".
His first wife (died 1921) was granddaughter of Michael and Rachel.
Rachel's last address(on death certificate) was same as that of McAuliff.
There is possibility that: Rachael went into St. Anthoney's hospital in OK
city in 1922 stayed there till she died in 1928. Placed there by her daughter Jarlath (a Nun)
