  • Story: Rutland, Vermont Railroads & Marble Quarries

    <p>http://www.rutlandhistory.com/hist_rutland.asp&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Marble quarrying on a large scale began in the late 1830s and in the 1840s. In 1851 a Rutland artist, James Hope, painted at least three versions of the West Rutland quarry of Sheldons, Morgan and Slason. This quarry was one of the oldest, largest and most productive of the Rutland marble quarries.<br><br>In the 1850s Rutland became the railroad center of Vermont. The Rutland Railroad station, machine shop, round house and other facilities were located to the west of the town center. Lines ran north and south and west and southeast. The railroads arrived just in time to aid in the growth of the marble industry.&quot;</p><p>Fair Haven, Castleton and Rutland, Vermont were the &quot;stopping-off&quot; places of many Irish families who later came to Irish Ridge, Grant County, Wisconsin.&nbsp; Here in Vermont they worked for the railroad company and worked in the granite and marble quarries until they had saved enough money to make the trip to Wisconsin.</p>

  • Story: Obituary Of Catherine Mulrooney

    FENNIMORE TIMES, August 10, 1893<br>Obituary of <strong>Catherine Mulrooney</strong>- <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mrs. Catherine Mulrooney, one of the first residents of Mt. Hope, died at her home, of heart failure, Wednesday evening, August 2nd, 1893. Mrs. Mulrooney was a strong, robust woman and a perfect picture of health. She never complained of any pains, and was a stranger to sickness. On the evening of her death, she partook of a hearty supper, made arrangements as women do for the morning breakfast, and appeared in her usual health. About 1/2 past 11 her husband heard a slight moan and suspected that perhaps his wife was ailing. As he is in feeble health, he called some of his children to come and see if mother needed anything. When the children arrived at the bed, it was only to behold their dear mother in the cold slumbers of death. It was indeed a sad sight. Words cannot express the grief of the poor husband and his children.</p><p>Mrs. Mulrooney was born in the County of Kilkenny, Ireland, in the year 1828. In 1857, in PA, she was united in marriage to Mr. Darby Mulrooney. She leaves one daughter, Ms. Rosa, and two sons, Edward and James, to console her bereaved husband.</p><p>The children who are married are: John Mulrooney, Will Mulrooney, Mrs. Mary Elliott, Mrs. Ella Quinn, and Mrs. Katie Cull.</p><p>Nearly 100 teams, accompanied her lifeless corpse to St. Lawrence&#39;s where the funeral obsequies were performed by Fr. McNulty. The magnificent casket decorated with natural flowers, rested on the catafalque richly draped, being guarded by lighted tapers and surrounded by weeping friends. Mrs. Mulrooney was an exemplary Christian, a true friend and neighbor.<br>It is no wonder that when her lifeless remains were removed from the house that the vast multitude were in tears for they knew that a dear friend of theirs would never care for them again with the love of a mother. Mrs. Mulrooney was a faithful wife and loving mother; she was the most esteemed woman in the neighborhood, and one of the most honored members of her church. May her soul rest in peace.
