Tom McCabes Genealogy 2022

WILLIAM is buried beside his mother Jane MULDOON McCabe in St Mary's Cemetary, Lindsay.

email from Kevin O Keefe of Lindsay on Aug 28, 2000 stated: "I took the picture of Michael and Jane over to my mother, and my two surviving uncles. Nelson is 79 and Leo is 88. I said," here is a picture of your great grand parents - the McCabes!"

Leo told me that Uncle Bill McCabe lived on the family farm south of Lindsay. He farmed it for many years and sold it to a nephew, son of Ann Jane MCCABE O'Keefe.

Bill married a woman named Roche and they had no children.

According to Nelson O'Keefe, Bill McCabe was a crusty old man. Nelson's grandmother mother was Ann Jane MCCABE O'Keefe, one of Bill's older sisters. One story he told was that when Nelson was a boy, they visited Bill on the old McCabe farm at Conc 7 Lot 15. Bill was eating supper and he baecame annoyed by his dog barking in the yard. Bill went outside and \"hung\" the dog from a tree and came back inside to eat his supper. Nelson didn't say what happened to the poor dog.

Bill was young when his mother died but he must have missed her terribly. When the old Catholic cemetery on the west side of Lindsay was moved, to the present site in South Lindsay, the bodies were moved but many of them could not be identified due to the poor condition of the tombstones. William evidently paid for a memorial for his mother on the backside of his own tombstone in the cemetery when he died 50 years after his mother. There is no memorial for his father Michael.
