Hi just wanted to add, ( fellow Sextons) my great grandfather was Irish American and owner of James Sexton and Sons Monuments, in Stratford Connecticut. They donated foundation stone to the Basilica of the Nation Shrine in Washington DC in 1925. My grandmother was Honoria Rosalie Sexton before she got married. Sexton is a family name that comes up in many benevolent contributions to America.

Thanks for the info on the Basilica in Washington DC! About 30 miles from my home....will make a stop there when the weather warms up a bit!
I loved to hear this story. Greetings from family here in Texas.
