MRS. CATHERINE AHERN DIED LAST NIGHT
———
South End Woman Had 42 Grandchildren
and 34 Great-Grandchildren
——— |
Mrs. Catherine Ahern, who died last night at her home, 27 Vining court, this
city, had 42 living grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by 5 sons and two daughters.
Mrs. Ahern was the widow of John Ahern, well known in the South End, who died
about 11 years ago. She was born in Ireland and had resided in America more than 40 years, the greater
part of the time in Woburn. The illness which caused her death was of short duration, scarcely more than a
few days, and was not thought at first to be serious. Advanced age, however, precluded the possibility of
recovery, and she passed away last night.
It is believed that the long list of grandchildren and great-grandchildren is a
record for this vicinity. Besides these children she left five sons: Edward, David, Michael and Dennis of
Woburn and John of New York. The two surviving daughters are: Mrs. John McCarthy and Mrs.
Catherine Shea of Woburn. |
