Chapel at the Mother HouseChapel at the Mother HouseWhat a day! My mother and I met Kim Hoover
and Denise and Patrick Nolan at the Dutchman's Curve Marker site. Kim works at Saint Cecilia's Academy and was instrumental in locating the family of John J Nolan. Mr. Nolan was an NC&StL engineer who died at Dutchman's Curve.
Denise Nolan and her brother Patrick Nolan remember their grandfather, John Joseph Nolan on July 8, 2008. Denise Nolan and Patrick Nolan
Denise Nolan lives in Redondo Beach, California and her brother Patrick lives in Leesburg, Virginia.

We spent the morning at Saint Cecilia's Mother House where we were privileged to have a private tour given Sister Marion. The tour was special to the Nolan's because their beloved Aunt Angela graduated from Saint Cecilia's in 1916.

We also visited the grave of Mr. Nolan. He is buried in the Nolan family plot at Calvary Cemetery.
