Catherine Buckley: Titanic Victim-- Part 1

From Find-A-Grave site.

On April 28th, I wrote about the author of the article I was using for information had been given the name of Catherine Buckley when she boarded the Titanic Experience.  I did some more research on Catherine Buckley.

Catherine Buckley was born on June 3, 1889 in Ovens, County Cork, Ireland and is buried at Saint Joseph Cemetery in West Roxbury, Massachusetts.  She was the only Irish victim of the sinking to be buried by her relatives.  She died at age 22.

Catherine was originally booked to cross the Atlantic on the White Line ship Cymric, but service on that ship was withdrawn.  She was journeying to America to stay with her sister Margaret at 71 Mount View Street, Roxbury, Massachusetts.  This became a bone in family relations as her parents had wanted her to stay in Ireland to take care of them in their old age.  After her death, her parents never forgave Margaret.
