THE FOOTNOTES

The names and faces of many of the relatives who preceded you are fading from recollection. For this reason, I plan to present some of them from time to time so that they might be remembered for at least a little longer. One such relative, my cousin, Anna Mae McAloon.
Anna Mae was the only child of John and Mae McAloon. John was my mother's brother. She died in her twenties of what was called consumption, I believe. I think it was later called tuberculosis.
She taught piano. In the church of St. John the Evangelist on Newington Avenue, in New Britain, a stained glass window was inscribed with her name in her memory. That church might or n might not be there now. It could have been replaced in the years since I last was there.
