    Sarah Jane Thomas is my great-grandmother. She died May 25, 1929, in Omaha, NE, not in 1911 as indicated here. She married Jeremiah Murray Shields and they had 9 children - 3 lived to adulthood. Murray and 6 of their children are buried in Thomas Calvary. Tressie, George & Ed moved with her to Omaha by 1910. Ed was my grandfather. He and his wife Adelaide had 7 children - 6 grew up to have children of their own. Sarah, who buried her parents (John & Mary Thomas) and her husband and too many children before reaching the age of 50, has many descendants.
