My Great-grandfather, Charles N. Lord, was the Secretary of The Board of Dental Examiners for the Territory.  Here's his report to the Governor, shortly before his divorce from my Great-grandmother.

729½ East Palace Avenue today.  The only thing remaining of Alois and Marrieta Renehan's Willows is the wall by the sidewalk.

729½ East Palace Avenue.  Built on the site of the Fischer Brewery in 1908.  The Willows was where my Great-grandmother Marietta and Alois Renehan took up residence after they were married in 1909.

Decades-Old Tomb Bears Mystery of the Black Kiss

COPYRIGHT 2000 Albuquerque Journal

Byline: Joseph Ditzler Of the Journal

It may be the quietest pair of lips ever, those imprinted indelibly on the tomb of Alois Renehan.

A distant descendant, Edward Renehan, 44, of Newport, R.I., said it has been there as long as he can remember a life-sized kiss, in black, on Alois's mausoleum in Fairview Cemetery on Cerrillos Road. If you know where to look, you can see it from the street a black spot on the right side of the doorway into Alois Renehan's tomb.

Unlike the lips of a corpse, these lips have never spoken. And who may have left this peculiar bit of graffiti, and for what reason, are unknown.

Alois Renehan, however, is not.
