The baptismal record reads...

"BAPTISM - 27 Feb 1854, baptised by me the undersigned pastor, AnnaMaria born 26 December ultimo daughter of Patrick Conlin and ElizabethConlan. The sponsors were Patrick O'Donnell and Maria Ann Gall.Signed by J. Smith, Priest."

She was still living there on 17 Jan 1918 when her son James enlistedinto the military.
After the tragic death of her husband, Maria went to live with herbrothers, Martin and Thomas Conlin who had owned some farm land inSmith's Falls (though probably closer to Montague, I would image theirfather's homestead, because they later moved to Smiths Falls once thefarm was sold). Her daughter, Sarah Ann recalled that the farm inwhich they lived on, was partially donated to the church (St. Francisde Sales?) for part of their cemetery, (which is apparently the olderpart of the cemetery on the Ottawa side, though I could find no recordof it in the St. Francis de Sales Church registry book).

Maria was known to have a wonderful sense of humour and was alwaystelling a good joke, or saying something funny.

BELOVED HUSBAND OF

(THE SECRETARY at St. Patrick of the Island Church in Pincourt saidthat for whatever reason there are a number of funerals, baptisms,marriages etc. that were not recorded in the early 70's.Unfortunately, Thomas's was one of them. St. Thomas Catholic Churchin Hudson (which the cemetery is affiliated with, and is locacted nextto), did find his name and he is buried in the cemetery off CameronRoad in Hudson on March 18, 1971. They do not have much detail or theplot number.)

The confirmation record shows his name to be recorded as ThomasPatrick Drouchen and he was listed as being 12 years old at the time.
Thomas had also worked in Smith's Falls as a conductor. He was livingwith his mother and his blind sister Sarah at the time. Once hismother passed away in 1927, he paid for room and board for his sisterSarah, and them moved to a hotel in Montreal to work on the CPR. Whenhis brother John Joseph died in 1916, Thomas was the one who purchasedthe DROUGHAN family plot at St. Francis de Sales Cemetery in Smith'sFalls.
