COOGAN story 

__________________________________________________________________
(excerpts extracted from tales of Sheffield's (England, UK) First 
Air Raid on 25 SEP 1916):

...

The raid occurred on the night of Monday 25th September 1916
when a single Zeppelin dropped 36 bombs in a line between 
Burngreave and through Attercliffe to Darnall.  The Zeppelin in
question was a German Naval Zeppelin L22 that was under the 
command of Kapitanleutenant Martin Dietrich...

...

On Armistice Day 1922 a Memorial was unveiled outside the Baltic
Works in Effingham Road, Sheffield.  To quote:

"the memorial was intended to perpetuate the infamy of the Germans 
as much as remember the dead"

...

The first high explosive bomb fell on Danville Street, killing 49 
year old Frederick Stratford, who was struck by shrapnel whilst in 
bed.  In nearby Grimesthrope Road a bomb fell on No. 112 and 
exploded, killing 76 year old Ann Coogan and her 56 year old 
daughter, Margaret Taylor.
