A similar petition was filed by the maternal grandmother. Court on December 14 appointed Mr. Feeny as temporary guardian. The case caused Woburn mayor William E. Kane to sponsor a bill that no temporary guardian shall be appointed for children whose parents perished in the Grove disaster until those having actual custody had been notified by the court. Mayor Kane (quote): "In such a situation, the person with the fastest legs could rush to probate court and be appointed. That is a wicked situation but a legal one" (Fitchburg Sentinel, Fitchburg, MA, 2/11/1943). "The four children orphaned by the deaths of their parents...were brought into Middlesex probate court yesterday...and delivered to their paternal grandfather...who has been appointed their permanent guardian" (The Boston Herald, 2/24/1943). Burial with her husband at Oak Grove Cemetery, Medford. Couple were two of 12 Grove victims interred at Oak Grove Cemetery. Middle name Frances.
