Costello

I received these photos this morning from Ancestry.com.  They probably got them from Martin Robillard.  

It is the Costello family grave at Holy Cross Cemetery, Brooklyn. Placed by my great grandfather Thomas Costello in memory of his wife Bridget Slattery (1919 - Spanish flu?), himself (1938 - at 85 - the last arrival from Ireland i/a 1863)  Dad was 18 at the time of hisdeath and Thomas lived with them in Gerritsen Beach.

Agnes, his sister, I faintly remember or maybe just talk of her, Nana, Grandaddy, and Josephine's son Paul who died at 1 y.o.

The deed is signed by Bishop (later Archbishop) for whom the highs school in Queens was named when school moved from St. Ann's parish in Brooklyn to Jamaica.  that's why the name of their teams long a powerhouse - is the Stanners.
