1893    to   2008.

IT WAS A QUIET COUNTRY PARISH, THE BIG GREY CHURCH  STOOD ON THE HILL SIDE, WITHIN THE STONE BOUNDARY WALL OF THE CHURCH WAS SITUATED THE CEMETERY. A COLD PLACE WHEN THE NORTH OR EAST WIND WAS BLOWING AS OFTEN WAS THE CASE WHEN A BURIAL WAS TAKING PLACE. THERE WERE NOT MANY GRAVE STONES ON THE PLOTS, A SHORT ROW OF ALMOST IDENTICAL CELTIC CROSSES MARKED THE LAST RESTING PLACES OF FORMER PARISH PRIESTS.

        IN ITS EARLY YEARS IT WAS A POOR PARISH YOU SEE, MANY OF THE DEAD LAY UNDER THE SOD UNMARKED. THERE WAS NO PLOT MAPS FOR THE GRAVEYARD. WHEN THE PEOPLE DIED, ALWAYS THEIR FAMILIES CAME TO OLD TOM’S HOUSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE CHURCH YARD WITH THEM TO POINT OUT THE FAMILY GRAVE. TOM WOULD TALK WITH THEM AND GLORIFIED IN HIS INFALLIBILITY REGARDING HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE GRAVEYARD. IT WOULD NOT BE TRUE, ALTOGETHER, TO SAY THAT HE WAS GLAD WHEN A DEATH IN THE PARISH BROUGHT THE GRAVE SEELKER TO HIS DOOR, BUT HE WAS GLAD NEVERTHELESS TO DROP WHAT HE WAS DOING AND PUT ON HIS COAT AND CAP AND GO OUT AT ANY TIME TO POINT OUT THE REQUIRED LAST RESTING PLACE WHERE THE GRAVE SHOULD BE DUG.

        OLD TOM WOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR AT THE CHURCH YARD GATE AND WALK STRIAGHT AS A DIE TO THE FAMILY PLOT NO MATTER WHERE IT WAS. HE HIMSELF WAS NO LONGER YOUNG, HIS BRAIN HAD MARKED THE BURIALS FOR OVER A HALF A CENTUARY, ALWAYS WITHOUT ERROR..

        “YOUR GRAVE IS HERE”, HE WOULD TELL THE FAMILY AND HE WOULD GOUGE THE SOD WITH HIS HEEL. “JUST AT THIS SPOT HERE, THE GAVIGANS ARE ON THIS SIDE. THE O’NEILL’S ARE HERE. PAT JONES FAMILY IS OVER THERE AND OLD MULDOON AND THE WIFE ARE OVER HERE.” HE KNEW EVERY GRAVE AND THE DATES OF THE LAST BURIAL IN THE PLOT, AND ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE FUNERAL. THE YANKEE O’DONNELL WAS PUT DOWN THERE IN 1950. “DO YOU REMEMBER HIM? HE WAS SIX FEET TALL BAR AN INCH AND THEY HAD TO GET A SPECIAL COFFIN FROM BELFAST FOR HIM. PINE IT WAS AND IT TOOK SIX MEN TO CARRY HIM. HE WAS A GREAT SIZE AND NEAR ENOUGH THE LAST OF HIS BREED”.

        IF A NEW PLOT WAS NEEDED FOR A FAMILY THAT HAD MOVED INTO THE PARISH, TOM WOULD TAKE THEM TO ONE OF THE VACENT SPACES IN THE GRAVEYARD AND HELP TO CHOOSE A PLOT FOR THE BEREAVED SON WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUNERAL. WHEN THE CHOICE WAS FINALISED, TOM WOULD SAY EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL, “YOU HAVE GOT THE BEST PLOT IN THE GRAVEYARD.” HE WOULD ADVISE ON WHICH NEIGHBOURS WOULD BE THE PROPER MEN TO DIG THE GRAVE. HE KNEW THE LENGTH IT SHOULD BE, HOW DEEP IT SHOULD BE AND HOW MANY GRAVES THAT THE PLOT SHOULD HOLD.

        HE WOULD POINT TO THE TREE THAT STOOD IN THE LOWER CORNER OF THE GRAVEYARD SAYING, “ DO YOU KNOW WHO IS UNDER THAT TREE? THAT IS WHERE THE YOUNG VOLUNTEER THAT WAS FOUND LYING DEAD IN THE SHOUGH IN 1922 IS BURIED, YOU KNOW, NO COFFIN AT ALL. A WILD NIGHT IT WAS. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO TELL ANYBODY ABOUT IT AND THEY NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS, BUT THEY THOUGHT IT BETTER TO BURY HIM HERE IN THE HOLY GROUND RATHER THAN HAVE THE TANS KICKING HIS CORPSE AROUND THE ROAD.”

        HE AWLAYS TALKED ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER. “I WAS THERE MYSELF FOR THE BURYING. WE ONLY HAD TWO CARBIDE LAMPS AND THERE WERE LOOKOUTS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WE COULDN’T LEAVE ANY SIGN OF A GRAVE EITHER, SO WE LIFTED THE SOD IN ONE PIECE AND LEFT IT BACK THE SAME WAY AND EVERY MAN THERE BROUGHT A BIG BAG OF CLAY AWAY WITH HIM AND SCATTERED IT ALONG THE WAY ON HIS JOURNEY HOME. WE NEVER FOUND OUT WHO HE WAS THOUGH OR WHERE HE CAME FROM, THE POOR LAD, HE GOT THE BEST GRAVE IN THE PLACE, DRY AND SHELTERED WITH THE TREE OVER IT.”

        IF A STRANGER DIED IN THE DISTRICT, NO MATTER WHERE HE CAME FROM TOM WOULD FIND A PLACE FOR HIM IN THE GRAVEYARD. THE PARISH TOOK OLD TOM’S KNOWLEDGE FOR GRANTED. DIDN’T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. HE ALWAYS GOT A DRINK OR TWO FROM THE BEREAVED FAMILY OF COURSE, AND WAS PROFOUNDLY THANKED FOR HIS AID. IT WAS ALL HE WANTED. HE DIED HIMSELF LAST THURSDAY NIGHT, VERY SUDDENLY. HIS NIECE CAME ACROSS FROM BELFAST, SHE WAS THE NEAREST FAMILY THAT HE HAD AND SHE ASKED WHERE HE WOULD BE BURIED. NOBODY KNEW. HIS FRIENDS SEARCHED ALL AROUND THE GRAVEYARD NOT SURE WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. THERE WERE SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CANON, BUT THERE WAS NO PLOT MAN FOR THE GRAVEYARD. IT HAD ALL BEEN INSIDE OLD TOM’S HEAD, WITH HIM GONE THERE WAS NOBODY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NOW.

        IN THE END THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD. THEY BURIED HIM IN WHAT HE HAD ALWAYS DESCRIBED AS THE BEST GRAVE IN THE PLACE, DRY AND SHELTERED AND WITH A TREE OVER IT. THEY BURIED HIM WITH THE VOLUNTEER WITH NO NAME. IT SEEMED THE BEST THING TO DO. DURING THE FUNERAL THE WIND BLEW FROM THE EAST AND THE DEAD BELL PEALED ITS LAST MESSAGE FOR OLD TOM BUT WHAT WILL THEY DO NEXT TIME WHEN ANOTHER PERSON DIES?

In the rising of the sun and its going down…

We Remember them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter…   We Remember them.

In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer…

We Remember them.

 

In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn…

We Remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends…

We Remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength…

We Remember them.

 

When we are lost and sick at heart…

We Remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share..

We Remember them.

So Long as we live, they too shall live,

 

For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

The turn of the century from the 1800’s into the 1900’s brought many changes to the family life in rural Ireland. Life had been so restricted on the land where the vast majority of the population had to make a living. Money was as always most important, its primary use being to pay excessive rents to land lords. The change that made it possible for the people to own their property was a major development. The old mud cabin with its grass roof with a hole in it to allow smoke to get out and small or often no windows was replaced by the stone built cottage with a proper thatched roof. The owner could quarry his own stones, fell trees and prepare his own timber, very little money changed hands, and rather one tradesman repaid another with the exchange of service or produce.

 

   The natural talents of Irish men and women that had remained dormant by suppression for centuries under the land lord system returned to the surface when freed from the restrictions imposed on the people. They became less dependant on the potato, the grain crop provided straw for thatch and fodder for the cattle. The oats when milled, gave flour for bread and food in porridge. The miller, often being rewarded with a share of flour, which he in turn sold on. The development of roads, canals and railways produced many men qualified in the art of stone masonry and carpentry to mention just a few trades. It was remarkable that people who could neither read nor write could build to perfection carts and other vehicles including the wheels. Cart and barrow building, wheel wrighting, black smithing furniture making and tool making meant that many farmers could equip their holdings without great financial outlay. The money that beforehand had been used to pay the exorbitant rents could now be used to provide a better life style and enlarge and develop their property. Under the old system any improvements to property meant that the landlord increased the rent or in many cases evicted the tenant. Taxes were based on the size of windows in a house, so very small windows were fitted in Irish homes.

 

Markets, cattle fairs, and co-operative creameries founded about 1890 provided the landowner with a fair price for his milk. While at the same time milk was churned at home to supply home made butter. Some of this could be sold in the markets along with eggs, home made jam and vegetables. Turkeys and geese were feed and sold at Christmas to provide some small luxuries at that time. Work that required a large labour force on the farm was done by the Mehall system, where by all the neighbours came together in turn to cut and save the turf and the hay. Threshing the corn was done by hand using an instrument called a flail. It was made of two lengths of hazel each about four feet in length and joined by the supple skin of an eel. Men worked in pairs with a third feeding the sheaves of straw on to a large door removed from its building and placed on the floor of a barn. The coming of the power driven thresher replaced this skill. Crop planting, mowing the meadow by scythe, harvesting the crop, cutting and saving the turf are but some examples of how the work was done with the minimum of financial outlay. Extra crops could be produced and extra turf cut, these were then sold to the residents in the villages or in the market.

 

With the introduction of machinery to the land. Farmers who had acquired mowing machines, ploughs, hay shifters and large carts hired themselves and their equipment out to other farmers for pay. They would also collect all the milk from an area and transport it to the creamery. For local merchants they would transport goods from the docks and railway stations to the shop stores. Many farmers supplemented their incomes by shoe making, harness making, thatching, stone wall building, carpentry including boat building furniture and coffin making. Until the introduction of the paraffin oil lamp, light was provided by the home made rush candle. Some employment could be had for both women and men in the big houses, conditions were not always the best and the wages low.

 

Young boys and girls were hired out to large land owners to labour on the property. This was a cruel system. Cattle fairs were held in most towns and villages, two times a year in September and in March there were Hiring Fairs. Young people encouraged usually by their fathers would attend these fairs where they would present themselves for inspection by the owners of large farms to be hired out for a period of six months for the sum of about £6-00 payable at the end of the term. Generally living conditions were poor; they would sleep in the barn or on a loft in another out house. Food was not of the highest quality, the work had to be done in all kinds of weather conditions. Nearing the end of the six months hire period some cruel landowners made life so difficult for the young people that they had to leave thereby forfeiting their wages.

 

Many of the young people who stuck with this form of slave labour and did collect their wages used the money to pay their passage to England, America and Australia. It should be said that there were many good employers who treated the hired staff well. When established in a foreign land the young people sent money home to their parents to help pay the rent on the farms. They also sent money home to pay the passage of brothers and sisters to join them in the land of their adoption. One shrewd Irish mother who sent many of her children abroad had her own security method. She knew the sort of crooks who would be at the docks and on the ships ready to rob a traveller. So she sewed sovereigns and notes into the garments that the young person would be wearing, warning them not to touch the money until they had become settled with their family abroad.  Then it was to be used to pay their way while they found work and a place to live. The first priority of the emigrant after they had found work was to save and return the money that had been given them to start a new life.

 

Some of these emigrants by their hard work and success would return home and purchase farms of their own; there was one case locally where a mature man who came home purchased the farm where he has slaved for a pittance in his youth. On source of income was that of the brewing and sale of poteen, although illegal well made poteen paid the rent for many a family. In the later part of the 19^th century business came within the reach of ordinary people, the shebeen was replaced by licensed public houses which in many cases doubled up as the local grocery and hardware store. Little shops sprung up in rural districts to meet the requirements of the population. Many young men joined the army or police, these were secure and pensionable jobs, retirement was possible at a reasonably early age. A good trade could be learned in the Army, many retired army men became postmen.

 

Until the demise of the laded gentry work was to be found on the estates as labourers, gardeners, stable hands, butlers, coachmen and with the advent of the horseless carriage men were trained as chauffeurs. Such employees where house in separate quarters or in the gate houses at the entrances to the Big House. One drawback about this was that when employment ceased or the occupant died, the family had to vacate their home. About the turn of the century (early 19 hundreds) public housing was introduced by the local government authorities, these basic but comfortable homes were known as labourer’s cottages on council houses. The county council built them and the rent was modest, the tenants were often employees of the council who worked to maintain the ever growing network of roads. Railway workers were also tenants, although the railway companies had their own house many of them at level crossings where the occupants controlled the gates when trains were due. In Belleek the Pottery Company had two sets of terraced houses for their workers.

 

With the building of the national schools in the mid- eighteen hundreds young people got the chance of an education, indeed many teachers held night classes for adults. Schools gave employment to young women who were excellent teachers, they also taught many crafts to the young girls of the area. These crafts were to stand them in good stead when they sought employment at home or abroad. Local ladies would supply to the rural women pieces of linen with a pattern stamped on it. In their own homes the women would embroider the work, this was a highly skilled art and for each piece would the women would get about one shilling. Of course the ladies who supplied the material would get considerable more for the products.

 

Travelling tradesmen were an important part of the community, they were basket makers who in returned for weeks lodgings and food on the farm would make a supply of baskets and creels and other wares from sally and hazel rods. A donkey with two creels fitted to a straddle was used to bring the turf home from the bog. The travelling tinsmith was another welcome tradesman, he moved from place to place with his family, their home being a horse drawn wagon. His products were used in the kitchen, in the byre for milking and bringing water from the well. Many a good drink of tea was had from a tin porringer while working in the bog or hay field. Tailoring and dress making were other highly skilled trades.

 

So far it has been mainly the male labour force that has been mentioned, the women of rural Victorian Ireland played no less a part in the development of the country than did their male counterparts. Queen Victoria died in January 1901 aged 81 years having reigned for 63 years. The Irish women produced much of the clothing for all members of the family and indeed in some cases for relations and neighbours. They produced wool, tweed and linens, designed and made garments which were suitable for both work and social events. Emigrant families sent home parcels of clothing and these items were altered and adjusted, then put to good use by children and adults. Those who were lucky enough to possess a sewing machine set up as dressmakers for members of the community. Many house had orchards and other fruit trees in the garden. The housewife could make a selection of jams which she sold to supplement the irregular income. A shrewd manager she held a secret cash reserve which often tided the family through difficult times.

 

The young girls of the family became well educated and trained as teachers, nurses, secretaries, shop assistants, dress makers, housekeepers and so on. The needs of the family were simple; they could get by on little money. The introduction of the old age pension was a big help to the elderly and they were no longer a burden to a young couple rearing a family. With machinery coming more and more into every day use the local blacksmith adapted quickly and soon could service mowing machines, ploughs, general farm machines including the potato spraying machine that now combated the dreaded blight. The push pedal bicycle became a popular means of transport as did the motor vehicle. Irish people showed that they could hold their own in a rapidly developing world.

Special mention must be made of the 7,000 Americans who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, who will be known as our  “American Patriots – Canadian Warriors”. They flew and fought with their Canadian comrades in the R.C.A.F. with over 700 killed – in – action. After much research Halifax 57 Rescue (Canada) has found all their names and home towns of those Americans who paid the ultimate price for freedom. All 48 States of the United States of America are represented on this R.C.A.F. ‘Roll of Honour’, with at least one son killed – in – action from every state.

 

         The majority of these 700+ are not listed on their State Memorials. During this project we will give special tribute to these unknown Americans and heroes who flew and died for Canada in the R.C.A.F.

 

          It is the least we can do for our best friends and neighbours.
