  1. 1.  Gertrude Elizabeth Murtagh was born on 07 Apr 1891 in Norwich, Chenango County, New York; died on 07 Apr 1975 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York; was buried in Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery, Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York.

    Notes:

    My Grandmother, Gertrude Elizabeth Murtagh, known as "Libby" to her brothers and sisters (Tom, Mike and Mame), was known to us, her Grandchildren, as "Muddy." She was born April 7, 1891 in Denver, Colorado. When Gramps and Muddy got married, she already had two daughters from her prior marriage to John Laden. Mr. Laden died in 1915 of tuberculosis, leaving her a widow at 24 years old with two young girls, Margaret and Mary. I believe Aunt Margaret was born in 1912, as I recall her death from cancer in November 1961. All the papers said she was 49 years old. What a wonderful cook! She was married several times and had three children: Patricia, John and James McCarthy. I believe Pat was born in '31 or '32, and Johnny was probably born around 1937. Jimmy came shortly thereafter, like about '40. Aunt Margaret's married names included McCarthy, Pasqualina and lastly Majewski. Although not blood related to Grampa Cole, these folks are dear relatives all! For ALL purposes, Gramps was their Granddaddy! Neither he nor they would have had it any other way.

    Similarly, Aunt Mary was a rock to which our family was secured for over ninety years! She was born on July 15, 1913 and died in 2005. She married Uncle Bill, William T. Duffy in 1934 or 1935, and they had two children. Mary Anne Duffy, born in 1936 or 1937 and still smiling, and Wm. Junior. Billy (William Junior) was born in 1940, I believe, and he died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1985. (Edward D. Cole, 2007)
