                   BIRTH-MARRIAGE-DEATH-:This information from family records given to Richard C.
Holden of Colorado Springs, CO
Peter Felix was the first to be buried in the Holden grave at St. Patrick's
Cemetery in Lowell, MA. My cousin, Alice Holden Fahy, 141 Nesmith St. Lowell,
MA 01852, told me she remembers the grave was first on a hill with an iron
fence around it.  This was in the year 1916 approx. when William H. Holden
died.  Since then the grave has been bulldozed and now is situated on even
ground.  In the original grave several people were buried after Peter. Mary
Molloy Holden, my grandmother, was also buried here, and most likely her
children, George and Catherine. The children of Peter Felix and Catherine
Coyne, George, Peter and Kate were likely buried in the grave.  The lady at
the cemetery with whom we spoke on 14 June 1991 told us no records were kept
of children buried since so many died.  In the grave Catherine Coyne Holden
was buried on 20 Feb 1911. 11 June 1880 census shows Peter,Catherine and their
children, John, Mary A.,William H. and my grandfather, James Francis living
at 209 Salem St. Lowell, MA.
Many funny stories are told of Peter Felix. There was one told of his coming
home on Salem St. in Lowell.  They were subletting a room or rooms from a man.
During the day, the man had died, and as was the custom, was layed out in his
front room ready for the Irish Wake. Peter Felix came home alittle plastered,
and he bumped into the man.  He let out a scream which could be heard back to
Ireland.  Aunt Gert said he was born in Cork, which we have found to be not
true through his civil war records which declared him to be born in county
Carlow.  Later we found the family to be from Borris.  He belonged to the
US Cavalry during the civil war.

in my granddad's birth certificate from City of Lowell in the year 1870, Peter Felix is listed as a laborer
