Also developed a good business with a shop selling various items for the village. Had the first lorry in the area. Had the shop with son Michael and had 2 or 3 men as shoemakers.
The eldest girl Mary married John Donoghue of Gortmore. John was a young widower with two children, Michael and Mary. His first wife died in childbirth. Mary had a good life with John Donoghue. He had a thriving business his father had started from scratch in Gortmore selling a lot of groceries and flour and all kinds of animal feeding stuff and also carried on the shoemaking trade. He was a shoemaker by trade. Mary and John Donoghue had a large family. Unfortunately, Mary died of a hemorrhage after childbirth of a still born. John was gone to the graveyard burying the child when he came home his wife had died. She was only in her early thirties. He was devastated and so was his family.
My mother's mother (Mary) was the eldest. She married Donohue (John) in Gortmor. He was a widower with two children.
