===========================================================

Bridget O’Brien (nee Hernan) in her son William's July 1931 obituary.

Can't find her on the 1940 U.S. census. She is not with son Frank on the 1940 U.S. census, she could be with son James, though have not found him on the 1930 or 1940 U.S. census. She could also be living alone or may have died between 1931 and 1940.

Not listed in son Frank's May 1945 obituary, though at time time, often only surviving spouse were listed.

Her husband was buried 1918 in Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden, Mass, she maybe with him there.
