  • Notes 
    • Buried in Holy Name Cementery Jersey City New Jersey. Irene Fitzgerald, Turnier, on October 1998 related that "Austy killed his wife on Dally Town Rd [now Burgen Blvd.] Fairview NJ. He apparently committed suicide thereafter. Irene remembers that there was snow on the ground that day. She believes that Austin was upset over the fact that Peggy had a boy friend and killed her. This obviously was quite disturbing for the family since it had never been mentioned to Bill or his father before and was blurted out by Irene in an unguarded moment during advanced old age.
