Parents of Margaret Hyde ...

Michael J. Hyde (b. abt. 1834 in Ireland; parents b. Ireland - d. April 10, 1908 in Chicago, IL)
m. Ann Shehan (b. abt. 1837 in England; parents b. England).
Children:
1. Elizabeth Hyde (1861 England) {dressmaker in 1880}
2. Margaret Hyde (1867 Cork, Ireland)
3. Joseph Hyde (1870 Michigan, USA)
4. Ann Hyde (1873 Michigan, USA) (same name as her mother)

In the 1880 census, Michael J. and Ann Hyde are living in Chicago with four children and Ann's brother
John Shehan (1843). Both Michael J. and John are "coopers" (barrel makers).

In the Death Index, Michael J. Hyde was a widower living at 2843 Wallace when he died in 1908. He is
buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
Death Record: Ann Shehan (wife of Michael J. Hyde)
The Cook County Death Record only lists her as "Mrs. Michael J. Hyde". Therefore her formal given name was
uncertain -- Ann or ?
The record states that she was a married housewife ... born abt. 1836 in London, England ... died on January 25,
1894 {58 yrs.} ... buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery ... (assumed with her husband Michael J. Hyde who died in
1908 and is also buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery).
Side note: Michael J. Hyde married a second time in 1900 to widow Eliza Taylor (both were 60 years old). In
the 1900 U.S. Federal census, Michael J. Hyde was boarding in the Taylors' home on Wentworth Ave., Chicago
and still working as a cooper (barrel maker). And when Michael J. died in 1908, he was again a widower; so the
second wife Eliza also died before him.

Some info on Mt. Olivet Cemetery...

Mt. Olivet was the first Catholic cemetery on the South side of Chicago. Archbishop Patrick Feehan purchased
the land for $40,000 in 1884. Previously, most of the south side Irish had been buried in Calvary, far to the
north of the city. Mt. Olivet was consecrated June 28, 1885, with fifteen thousand people attending the
ceremony.
Operated by the Archdiocese of Chicago, Mt. Olivet Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery located at 2755
West 111th St. in Mount Greenwood, Chicagos 74th community, which contains eight cemeteries along its
borders, and it was once named Seven Holy Tombs. Mt.Greenwood's boundaries are Evergreen Park, Illinois to
the north, Alsip and Merrionette Park, Illinois to the south, Beverly to the east, and Oak Lawn, Illinois to the
