-Daughter Catherine lists her birth as Darby, PA. in her marriage
record.
-1840: Living in Upper Darby, PA
-On October 21, 1883, married secondly to Lewis C. Galigna in
Philadelphia. The funeral home that handled the burial was located in Montgomery County, PA and they
transported her to Fernwood Cemetery. Lewis Galigna was from Wilmington,
Delaware, where he died in 1905 according to his death certificate. Lewis
and Catherine appear on the 1900 Wilmington, DE census, but Catherine says
she was born May 1825, cheating a few years off her age. There is no
reason however to doubt her birthday was in May.

Philadelphia records the marriage as well as the newspaper account.
- Church membership records for Catherine Edwards state that she
married Lewis C. Galigna after Robert's death, and that they then "removed

back to Philadelphia after the death of her husband Lewis in 1905, for she
died in Philadelphia.
