Tombstone Tuesday The Coyne Family Found

I have not found any descendants that have trees on this family but I have put the family together.  I wish my family was a easy as this family to find. 
Michael J Coyne b 04 Nov 1862, Floughena, County Mayo, Ireland
Died  31 Mar 1934 San Antonio, Bexar, Texas
Father James Coyne, Mother Ann Freely
His Death Certificate from Family Record Search:


Jane Henry Coyne B 1875 County Sligo, Ireland
died 08 Feb 1949 San Antonio, Bexar, Texas
Father James Henry
Ah ha....the tombstone....

Janes's death certificate is not available but the summary was.
There is a Freely buried next to them will be investigating. 
This is the family in 1920 and 1930  I did not find them in 1900, although the census says they came in about 1889ish


Something I have  learned about the Irish immigrant.  They were proud of their family and shared with their family where they came from and the family left behind.  When I have found their death certificates, everything is filled out, not like my Missouri ancestors who couldn't even get their grandmother's name right.

Tombstone Tuesday Sad Cemetery

I am working on adding this and other tombstones to Find A Grave.
I was appalled at the condition of St Mary's Cemetery in San Antonio.  We will be looking at the Texas Historical Commission's Recovering a Forgotten Cemetery, to get organized for helping this little cemetery in the middle of San Antonio. TX.
This Person is not in any family trees I have found so far. I had to clear in front of this, and still missed the 1934 death date for Michael J Coyne.
