Ellen Dunphy (c. 1856-1941) of Ballyverneen, Glenmore [Obit in the Munster Express, Fri. 4 July 1941, p. 8]

            DEATH OF MRS. E. DUNPHY—We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Ellen Dunphy, which sad event occurred rather unexpectedly at her home at Ballyverneen, Glenmore, on Tuesday last. Deceased, who had attained the great age of 85 years, was a native of Weatherstown, and came of a well known family, the Malones. She was mother of Mr. John Dunphy, a former chairman of Kilkenny County Board, G.A.A., and one time prominent footballer with his native Glenmore, and also of the late Mr. R. Dunphy, Customs and Excise. Her husband, the late James Dunphy, died some years ago.

The late Mrs. Dunphy was the embodiment of all that go to the making of the ideal type of Irish womanhood, now sadly passing from our midst, and was an ardent and most exemplary Catholic. Sincere sympathy will go out to her bereaved son in his sad loss. The remains were removed to the local Parish Church at 7 o’clock on Wednesday evening, and the representative cortege was expressive of the great respect for deceased and her family. Interment took place on Thursday after Office and High Mass, of which the celebrant was Rev. W. Brennan, C.C., Glenmore—R.I.P.

James Dunphy, of Ballyverneen, Glenmore [[DD Notebook 8; Interview of Nicholas Forristal (Nicky the Miller) on 17 Nov. 1974]

James Dunphy, Ballyverneen, was married to Ellen Malone of Weatherstown. James died in 1881 of TB as a young man. His wife, Ellen was 18 years of age when she married and aged 21 when her husband died. James and Ellen had the following children;

(1) John Dunphy  lived in home place in Ballyverneen. He was married to Ellen Forristal of Ballyverneen, and had four children: (1a) Seamus Dunphy; (1b) Maudie Dunphy; (1c) Mary “May” Dunphy and (1d) Richard Dunphy.
(2) Richard Dunphy was the eldest of James and Ellen Dunphy. Richard died unmarried as a young man in about 1908.

James Dunphy, cooper of Ballyverneen, Glenmore [[DD Notebook 8; Interview of Nicholas Forristal (Nicky the Miller) on 17 Nov. 1974]

Old Dick Dunphy’s brother James was a cooper by trade, lived at the brow of the River Barrow, at the Tory Quay, in Ballyverneen. He had a small dwellinghouse there with a coopers workshop. 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.
