| | "Jeremiah O'Leary, a brother of John Mahoney's first wife, took up a farm, which he poetically termed "the Field by the River". Whatever its agricultural possibilities were, Jeremiah did not develop them in their entirety. He was a born politician –– not to say agitator. He was perhaps the most enthusiastic rebel against British rule outside of the active Fenians, whom he loved and longed to join. His wife was a Gallivan, and in convivial moments he was wont to declare that not only the wife, but his children, the horse, and even himself, were Gallivans; thereby repudiating the grand old clan O'Leary. He had for years the contract of driving the mail from Sackville to Cape Tormentine, and was never so happy as when driving the little black horse; and inconsistently enough, ordering way to be made for Her Majesty's mail."3 |
