THOUGHT: “Do you know what hurts so very much? It’s love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.”

FAMINE: extract from “A Pauper Warren- West Limerick 1845-49” by Gerard Curtin .
“On the 8th May 1847 a ‘destitute multitude’ surrounded the house of Richard Q. Sleeman of Cahara House, Glin, demanding food and employment. The official reaction to early reports of deaths from starvation in the press was a request of verification. On 3rd March 1847, it was reported that a body was found on a pathway at Loughill. A post mortem was requested from the local coroner. At Glin on 15th March another death occurred and a coroner’s jury returned a verdict on Joseph Conway, “death from the want of the common necessities of life”. On the 17th May a girl of seventeen years of age died on the roadside between Glin and Tarbert. “
Berry Conway, Ottawa, Canada was in Glin June 2014. He is a descendant of the Joseph Conway mentioned above.
