Info. from Findagrave member, Cherie Officer, The Olean (NY) Evening Herald, Tuesday, April 27, 1915 Page 7, Thursday, April 29, 1915 Page One and Friday, Dec. 31, 1915 Page 5. Elizabeth passed away at the home of her son, Orry DeKay, 551 King St., in the City of Olean. The funeral was held at her sons home on April 28, 1915. NOTE: Elizabeth may have been the husband or mother of Fred DeKay and mother of Mildred Margaret Dekay? Elizabeth is not in cemetery records. Some records were lost in a 1942 flood. Fred purchased three lots, E-37SW- 1, 2 and 3. Mildred is in lot 3 at the head. I can only guess that Elizabeth may be at 1 or 2?
