Denis Cashman is my direct ancestor, and my family gave this diary to ECU while I was a student there.

My Mother in Law was Denis Cashman's grand-daughter. Her name: Mildred Mary Cashman Sheehy. She had received the diary from William Cashman, Denis' son.

My daughter and I left shamrocks and a rosary there recently. We think, from the Cemetery Records, that Denis and Catherine and their children are all there. We have not concluded that absolutely yet, however. Thank you for a lovely presentation. Mary Anne Sheehy
