She was a beautiful young girl and full of life.She died at Oak Hill two months after Patrick Junior's birth in April 1874, and urged her mother to name him "after Pa" for there were no other children so named. She was buried in the garden cemetery "under the euonamus bush,"where she still rests. The bush was beautiful even when I last saw it in 1992, said to be so over the years "because the ground was so pure." She wascalled Lula. What a terrible loss.
