**samclem** , do you have an address where he lived? I live in the area and I’m curious.

There is no cemetery with that name in the [Philadelphia archdiocese](http://www.archphila-cemeteries.org/general_info/map.htm). Do you know where it is?  
When I type “St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cemetery, Norristown, PA” into google maps, it returns a strip mall shopping center that has been there for many years.

I’ll see if I can find it. “St. Patricks” does ring a bell.

Find a grave has a St. Patricks in Norristown, but looking through the M names, I can’t find them. Of course, Find a Grave is not necessarily complete.

There’s a St. Patricks Cemetery right on Dekalb Pike in Norristown. I know exactly where it is. I drive by it often, I just didn’t know the name.
