Thank you for your reply, Maura.
Anne (Bergin) Farrell died 20 years before Julia (Bergin) McEvoy so she wouldn't have been mentioned in Julia's 1904 obituary. Interestingly, the following people showed up at Patrick Farrell's funeral in 1901. They were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bergin, Annie Bergin, and Mr. and Mrs. J.P McEvoy. The obituary also mentions the floral arrangements that these folks presented at the family home. Matt Bergin (1922-1996), a local educator, always referred to my family as being cousins. I'm not sure how the Martin Bergin clan is related to me. With a little bit of luck along with further research, I may be able to connect all the dots.
Regards,
Dave Farrell
