The third grave belongs to Moreen Keelan. She was also an infant daughter of Michael and Annie (in the first grave). She only lived for 7 1/2 hours. She died from prematurity.

Her grave is listed as Anglican Section LC grave 114A, However this area had been recently redeveloped when I visited. I was reassured no remains were disturbed in the creation of an above ground plaque area. Moreen had no headstone to be relocated so the staff can only say she was buried in this general area. 

Keelan, Moreen (0)                                        died 4 Apr 1940 / 565
