Lydia's wedding veil was a beautiful piece of Irish rosepoint lace that her groom TJ brought back from a visit to Ireland (at least, that is the family story). This veil has become a family heirloom: all three of Lydia's daughters wore it, most of her granddaughters wore it, I wore it, and my daughter (fifth generation) wore it to be married.

Lydia was a tiny little woman who still cooked on a wood stove in the 1960s (can that possibly be right??). She grew beautiful African violets - Lynn Mcgrann


She is referred to as Mrs. T. J. Gardner of Phillipsburg, N.J. in her sister Bessie's obituary. - 1911

Found her on the 1900 Catskill, Greene, New York census (dist 73 img 19) as Lydia Finger age 15.

Found her on the 1920 Greenwich, Warren, New Jersey census (dist 154 img 16) age 35.
