We wish all the mothers, a happy Mothers Day.  Just like most fathers, we scan the newspapers for restaurants...and it seems that the most popular for Mothers Day are buffets.  Some things never change.

Speaking of mothers, below are the Catholic Church death records from the Archdiocese in Wisconsin for Catherine Greenan Smyth Rooney and Mary McPhillips.  Both were the grandmothers to the Irish John Smith children.  The documents were recorded in Latin, and Father Laurer translated the pages for us (click to enlarge).
