While visiting, my mom's 4th cousin took us by the statue and pointed towards the house where it occured. It was dark at the time and I came back the next day to take the picture of the statue. I was not certain which house it was so I didn't take a photo. I do not have the poster or the story you mentioned. The cousins we visited were very familiar with past history of the family and told details about this event, knew why my g-g-grandfather immigrated to U.S. His father passed at a young age and the widow sold the farm to his brother who gave it to his eldest son. That family still lives on that farm. He knew my g-g-g-grandfather's name and his wife's name. A member of their family had done a family tree back to my g-g-g-g-grandafther and mother with most members of the families that stayed in the area listed. I am going to add these 200+ additional names into my tree. I am relatively new at this. I just started last Feb. in hopes of finding some connections before going to Ireland. It has become a consuming hobby. Karen
