Rosary was recited Sunday evening at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Dallas, for Mrs. Edward R. Maher, 82, who died Saturday. Mass was celebrated Monday and interment was in Calvary Hill Mausoleum.

A native of Forney, the former Vivian Layden, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Tom Layden, she had lived in Dallas since 1930. Surviving are her husband, three sons, including the Rev. Msgr. Edward Maher, vice president and associate professor of history at the University of Dallas, Thomas and Louis Maher; a daughter, Mrs. Rita Kelliher. She was a graduate of Ursuline Academy and a member of the Holy Trinity Church.

Note: I am unable to find a Vivian Maher, but there is a Genevieve Maher in both the SSDI and the Texas Death Index, and the dates work. In the SSDI, Genevieve Maher was born October 19, 1890 and died July 1972. The same person in the TDI died on July 1, 1972 in Dallas County. There is also a Genevieve Layden in the 1900 Precinct 2, Kaufman County census, daughter of Tom and Mary Layden.
