1929- 9 Feb, death of Catherine Mungall, a resident of 21 North Main St in So. Hadley Falls. She died Holyoke City Home, Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts in the 3rd Ward. She was widowed, name of husband, John Mungall. At the time of death, Catherine was 96 years, 7 months, and 24 days old, she died of Chronic Myocarditis with Arteriosclerosis and parenchymatous nephritis. She was under the care of Dr. Louie J. Rudiger. The informant was James Mungall of 21 North Main St. in So. Hadley; he lists her parents as, Daniel McPherson and Mary Barbouis, both of Scotland. (Holyoke Death Cert)

    Problems...1) lists different set of parents from Catherine's marriage

certificate... It is my feeling, that Daniel and Mary are her parents and James and Catherine possibly raised her, aunt and uncle? This needs work. 2) She is listed as Widow Mungall...she had remarried to William McLaughlin in Scotland. Why was that not listed? McLaughlin is on her tombstone.
