Richard B. McREDMOND, born about 1867 - died 2/28/1891 - age 23 - buried at Calvary Cemetery, Seattle. He was the son of Luke and Catharine "Kate" (BARRY) McREDMOND. By 1891 notice that Holy Cross Cemetery, Seattle was to be closed and graves relocated to Calvary must have been known. It is probable that he was named after his mother's first husband, Richard Blair MORSE, who died in 1859. Captain MORSE had suggested his widow find Luke after he died. It was sometimes customary to name a child after a late husband. It's also possible that his middle initial "B" is for BARRY, his mother's maiden name.
