He had over 20 acres of land upon which he later built a new dwellinghouse. He later got broke and had to leave his house and small farm, and went to live in the small house in Gruiguenakill, Glenmore Village, later occupied by Peggy Gaffney (now John Hennessys). Here he lived and carried on his trade. He died suddenly at Mullin’s of Gaulstown, whilst on his way to Waterford, with a load of sallies for basket making.

This James Dunphy was married and had one son James, and 2 or 3 daughters (who went to America.) James sometime after his father’s death when young went to Liverpool, but some relative of his there sent him home. He accordingly came home on a coal boat, arriving in Waterford on a Fair Day in Ballybricken. Barefooted he went up to the fair and met his Uncle Dick [Dunphy], who took him home with him to Ballyverneen. He stayed with him for some time, and then went to work for some of the local farmers. He next went to work in Waterford, and eventually became a head man on the docks there.

He was married to a girl from around Slieverue and had a couple of sons and daughter—all of whom went to America. He wife was very fond of drink, so much so that she used to pawn the bedclothes for it. She eventually got completely cured of it. James was a respectable, comfortable, abstentious man, and an ardent supporter of the Glenmore Football Team with which he went everywhere. In the end of his days he lived in the Holy Ghost Home. He died about 1946 and is buried in Glenmore cemetery. His wife was dead years before himself. Mike Rockett, publican of Slieverue, had charge of the funeral arrangement with whom he was apparently connected.
