But that is not quite the end of the story. Catherine Battles would die more than half a century after her husband at the age of eighty-one in 1958 and in the United States. She is buried in the Mount Benedict Cemetery in West Roxbury. In 1915 she had remarried but her second husband, David Hastie, died in 1920 and in 1923 she made the decision with the family to emigrate via Boston to settle in Massachusetts. She never came back. Barney Jnr., on the other hand did. On arrival in America he was seventeen, had learned his football in Scotland but first played from eighteen for two Boston clubs before at twenty-three returning to home, back to Edinburgh, where he had been born, and not to Glasgow, and there joining Hearts for the best part of eight seasons, a single cap of his own and something his father never achieved, an international goal.
