I do not see any of the four, birth or death, in the records. Possibly in the UK?

O'Kelly was born in 1882 - younger than all of these Dillons.

If only there was a way to find a grave... Wait, there is! www.findagrave.com/memorial/53859225/sarah-rose-dillon Saint Patricks Cemetery Lincoln, Lincoln County, Kansas, USA Kansas Streetview! In todays image, we see a couple of fenceposts in the background. Those are still visible in Streetview, but in the 90 years since, a row of pine trees has been planted and grown at the boundary.

At top is inscribed something like “In memory of the daughters of James? and Agnes M Dillon”

I am thinking that the headstone on the left might draw the most comments? Let the weekend games begin.

Further confusion - according to the death record for Catherine Moran, she was 60 when she died rather than 65.

5 September 1921 was a Monday ... 1 July 1920 was a Thursday ...

Josiah Skertchly had a varied career in geology and botany in Britain, the United States and Asia before migrating to Queensland in 1891. While Assistant Geologist with the Geological Survey of Great Britain he made ground-breaking discoveries on the antiquity of human existence in Britain. Later in Australia, he was probably the first successfully to apply stratigraphic principles to attempt to establish the age of Aboriginal occupation. In 1895 Skertchly became Assistant Government Geologist, Queensland Geological Survey. Alongside his professional duties, he immersed himself in the scientific life of Queensland, serving as President of the Royal Society of Queensland and the Queensland Naturalists' Club as its foundation. Skertchly lectured widely and wrote on natural history and science for the "Brisbane Courier" and other publications. Although not an optometrist, Skertchly was elected a member of the Institute of Ophthalmic Opticians of Queensland in its foundation year 1908. He played a prominent role in advocating for improved educational standards and professional practice as embodied in the Queensland Opticians Act of 1917. In 1927 Skertchly's archaeological collections were purchased by the Queensland Museum. Source: www.eoas.info/biogs/P000782b.htm
