    NOTE 1./ e-mail from Donna Fratesi : 12/23/2006

    I always remember my Mom talking about Aunt Vel. My grandmother, Annie Conley Lizmore always felt that they thought they were better than her. Of course, my grandmother was born of Irish immigrants and you know how they were looked on at that time. They still saw alot of each other and I remember some of them at my grandfather's funeral. I was only 5 but can remember that Mary Lizmore was very dour and never smiled.
    In Fairview cemetery in Niagara Falls in the Lizmore plot are two more graves unmarked. My grandmother's oldest girl, Mary died of diptheria in 1900 at the age of 7 and there was another baby girl, stillborn in 1897. If you looked up the cemetery you can see where the plots are.
