| Notes |
- Christened on 7 Mar 1860. Sponsors: John and Mary garlitz. Page 131. Records of St. Michael's Catholic Church. St. Michael's was established in 1852. MSA M 3743 (1852-1910).
Hilary was baptized on March 7, 1860 by Father M. Slattery at St. Michael's Church, Frostburg, Maryland.
Ray Leidinger wrote to the writer, Michael A. McKenzie in September, 2018, as follows:
Hilary's funeral was held on September 6, 1920 and according to his death certificate, he was buried in St. Peter's Cemetery in Westernport, Maryland. It has been 25 years since I walked that cemetery, so I don't remember if I saw the stone. (Remember, that stone is almost 100 years old, and would most likely be marble, could now be illegible.
During the early 1980's, I regularly spoke with, exchanged information with, Leo Clarence McKenzie (n. Blanch M. Winebrenner) s/o Hilary Thomas McKenzie (1860-1920). He provided the core information on Hilary Thomas' families. I am including the family group sheets for Hilary Thomas and his wives. Leo stated that Hilary's father, Samuel (m. Sarah Workman) and Catherine's father, William (m. Elizabeth Albright) were first cousins. Ed. note: Ray Leidinger is the author of this note.
In October, Michael A. McKenzie received an email from Leo C. McKenzie, Jr. concerning his efforts to locate Hillary's grave, as follows. . My wife and I and our daughter drove to Westernport, Md. to St. Peter's Cemetery and I finally got info from the lady at the church as to where he was buried. They had to rebury him sometime back as the section he was in fell away. From the photos we took you will a stone that could be his grave stone? Could be just a huge rock, I don't know. We tried to dig with a stick to no avail to see what it might be. I doubt if he has a grave marker as his wife, Ruth Fleegle, was very poor. In fact three of her three sons were sent to St. Mary's orphanage in Baltimore. I also got info from the church where someone had paid for his grave and it took them forever to pay for it. I am going to get in touch with the lady from the church to see if i can dig up the stone to see if it is a marker......also if I can put a marker on his grave. Leo
