Reputed Soup Pot from Famine Soup Kitchen, Newtown, Bantry.

 

It is remarkable and a testament to the Irish people that Ireland has gone from famine, pestilence and mass emigration to being one of the most prosperous countries in the world.   It may be the case that in 200 years time countries such as Ethiopia will emulate Ireland.

Famine in Skibbereen, West Cork, 1847, In the Parish of Kilmoe fourteen die on Sunday. Three of these are buried in coffins—ELEVEN ARE BURIED WITHOUT OTHER COVERING THAN THE RAGS THEY WORE WHILE ALIVE. And one gentleman, a good and charitable man, speaking of this case says—“I would rather give a shilling to a starving man than four-and-sixpence for a coffin.” One hundred and forty died in the Skibbereen Workhouse in one month ; eight have died in one day ! And Mr. M’CARTHY DOWNING states that “they came into the house merely and solely for the purpose of getting a coffin.”

The kitchen was located in Newtown, Bantry in the vicinity of the new Lidl Superkarket:

1863, 2nd Casualty of US Civil War, Major Andrew Gallwey, son of the late John Gallwey, Esq., Skibbereen.

DEATHS.
At Baton Rouge, La., U.S. America, Major Andrew Gallwey, son of the late John Gallwey, Esq., Skibbereen. Having been wounded at the taking of Port Hudson, he was removed to Baton Rouge, where he died on the 9th July, a Christian soldier, fortified by all the rites of the Catholic Church, in the 26th year of his age. His brother Edward was the first victim whose life was sacrificed in the present American war.¹ He was killed at Fort Sumter, on the 13th April, 1861, aged 20 years.—May they rest in peace.

..

Edward Gallwey was actually the second casualty of the Civil War, having been mortally wounded when a cannon exploded while firing a salute at the ceremony surrendering Fort Sumter to the Confederate forces. The first fatality was Pvt. Daniel Hough who was killed in the same accident. Thus the first casualties of the Civil War were from “friendly fire,” the first deaths from hostile action taking place when the 6th Massachusetts Volunteer Militia forced their way through Baltimore on their way to Washington on the 19th of April 1861.
