about
“At the time of the great famine in 1846 and 1847, he was very ill with cholera, in fact he was prepared for burial for they thought he had died, but his grandmother was not satisfied that he was dead. She poured some warm liquid in his mouth which revived him.”
–Eleanor Jane Hayes from a biography of John Joseph Hayes,
Mhuighinse, sung by Bríd Ní Mhaoilchiaráin, recorded at the Ard National School, June 2007: Mhuighinse, an old sean nós piece, which Ms. Ní Mhaoilchiaráin sung in one of the classrooms at the small schoolhouse where she teaches, is the song of a dying woman who was born on the Mhuighinse Island off the coast of Connemara. When she married, she moved to Carna on the mainland and lived out her days. In this song, she longs to be returned home to the island after she dies and to be buried there. She imagines her body carried on the waves and greeted by those who loved her.
The Biography of John Joseph Hayes, written by his daughter Eleanor Jane Hayes, and compiled by Ina Clare Hayes Carter: This is the story of my great-great-great grandfather, John Joseph Hayes, as told by his daughter. It was not until I embarked on this project that I learned that the Hayes family left Ireland during the great famine. Born in Clonakilty, Cork, J. J. Hayes immigrated first to England and then to the United States, settling in Utah. There is some disagreement about the story cited above. Even though family lore has it taking place during the famine, it is possible it occurred several years before then. Either way, it is a testament to the desperate times that preceded his departure from Ireland. Read by Rosi Hayes, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2007.
