MCCABE, MARIA

Source: Collection Of Shelley Cardiel

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mrs. Maria MCCABE LACEY 
of Annandale, MN which was taken at the J. F. Bradley Studio 
in Perth, Ontario, Canada. The photograph appears to have 
been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Maria likely in her 
40's or 50's at the time. In addition to her name and 
location someone has also noted that she is the sister of 
Margaret MCCABE.  Based on limited research I was able to 
locate the following information regarding Maria and her 
family:

Maria "Marie" Maud MCCABE was b. 1835 in 
Monageer/Boulavogue, County Wexford, Ireland to parents John 
MCCABE (1802-1876) and Mary FLOOD or FLOODS or FORD 
(1801-1883).  Maria was one of 9 children born to this 
couple including, Maria Maud; Margaret; Ann; James; Michael 
John; Alice; Margaret; Jane; and Patrick MCCABE all between 
1835 and 1845.  Maria married Jeremiah LACY (1821 or 
1825-1866 - son of Michael LACY and Catherine PHELAN of 
Barthurst Township) on 27 Nov 1858 and together they had 5 
children including, Catherine "Kate"; John William; Mary; 
Michael; and Peter Jeremiah LACEY, all born between 1859 and 
1865.  Maria died 22 May 1911 in Drummond, Lanark, Ontario, 
Canada.

At the time of her death her son Peter LACEY was living in 
Grand Forks, ND. Another son, Michael LACEY was also living 
in Grand Forks, ND when he married Elizabeth SHERIDAN in 
Lanark, Ontario, Canada at the age of 38, listing his 
occupation at the time as "Milk Vendor".

Census records provide the following details:

I am hoping to locate someone from this MCCABE - LACEY 
Family so that the photograph can be returned to their care.
