Baby Frances was born to Mary Ann (Buckley) Coffey and her husband William Peter Coffey in 1896. Mother and child did not survive this birth in 1896. Date and place unknown although the family was living in St. Louis at the time. Mary Ann had gone home to Peoria, Illinois, for the birth of her first child in 1888. Then Tom, Stella and Pete were born in St. Louis. No record has been found for birth of Frances nor her death nor that of Mary Ann in Missouri Death Records online nor in the City of Peoria.
Mary Ann was first buried in a Catholic Cemetery in Peoria--presumably baby Frances was buried with her mother. A cousin said that cemetery was east of St. Mary's and no longer exists. Catholic Cemeteries of Peoria has no record of the burial--among several other lost records.
When William Peter Coffey died in 1903, his executor and father-in-law, Thomas J. Buckley, foolishly used funds from William P.'s estate to purchase a 12 grave plot just west of the 20-30 grave Coffey plot established by William P.'s uncles, Peter and Thomas Coffey (brothers of Wm. P.'s father, John). He also used William's estate to purchase a handsome monument on the plot, sued a barmaid, charged the estate for care of his grandsons, and moved his daughter, Mary Ann and presumably baby Frances to William Peter Coffey's new plot. Mary Ann was born in December of 1866--Tom Buckley had birth as 1867 put on the new monument.
Thus, nothing was left to Willliam Peter Coffey's sons from his estate. He had inherited $5000 from his Uncle Peter in 1895.
When William P. Coffey died from injuries after falling down stairs in 1903, Tom Buckley was on good terms with William's living uncle, Thomas Coffey--even having been left
$500 by Tom's older brother Peter Coffey in 1895. Rose (Coffey) Buckley, as Peter Coffey's cousin, inherited $1000 in 1895 from Peter.
Tom and Rose were living in Covington, KY, when they were asked to move to Peoria where Peter Coffey had controlling interest in Peoria Gas, Light and Coke Company. Tom Buckley went to work for his wife's cousin, Peter Coffey, and rose through the ranks--ending up as Superintendent of the Gas Works.
In 1903, there were only 5 people buried in Tom and Pete Coffey's large plot with a Coffey monument in the center--
plenty of room for William Peter Coffey, his wife, and two small daughters.
William and Mary Ann's daughter, Stella who died after her mother and baby Frances in 1896 also is listed on the monument in Wm. P.'s plot, but it is unknown where Stella was originally buried nor whether or not she also was moved to St. Mary's.
