Biography

Isabel May McKenna was born 20 Jan 1901 on Main S.t in Saugus, the daughter of Simon John McKenna and Nora Donovan^[1]. Little Isabel/Elizabeth contracted Diphtheria and died on 14 May 1904^[2]. Her father was the death informant. She was buried the same day at Riverside Cemetery in Saugus. To further compound this tragedy, her older sister Jane Ellen died of the same disease the next day.

Notes

Her birth record shows her name as Isabel Mae but her death record shows Elizabeth Mae. She was 3 years 4 months and 2 days old per the Return of Death record so I feel sure this was the same person.
