Gate at the Calvary Cemetery in Holyoke
The parents of one of the priests of Sacred Heart Church are honored at the gate of his cemetery. William Foley in 1882 and Hanora Foley in 1904 were buried in Saint Thomas Cemetery in West Springfield. Their son paid for this gate as a memorial to them.
The exquisite statue gravestone of JJ McCarthy and his wife Catherine is near the gate. When Catherine died the amount of flowers sent to the home filled every room and the porch outside. When JJ died the obituary carefully stated to not send any flowers.
