Notes: Old <strong>James </strong>was a tall man, a schoolmaster in Ireland who left shortly after the famine. Known by his grandchildren as &quot;<strong>Uld Faddy</strong>&quot; (meaning &quot;Old Father&quot;), he left Ireland for Canada in 1852 with his daughters <strong>Hanora </strong>and <strong>Jane</strong>, moving in with his son Patrick's family. They were the last of the family to leave Ireland.   His grandchildren would later recall, the old man often sat in a chair with his feet on the stove and &quot;Beasie&quot; (Bridget Battles) would have to walk around him to put wood in it.  Though he is absent in the 1861 census, old Mr. O'Farrell lived with Patrick until the family moved to Burlington in 1868, at whichtime he moved in with his daughter Bridget in West Shefford. He was well educated, a great reader and at the time of his death in 1873 still had fifteen of his own teeth. He is buried in the old cemetery behind St. Francis Xavier Church in Bromont. His tombstone now lies in a swampy field just behind the cemetery, badly worn and discolored from the elements. The inscription is as follows:JAMES O'FARRELLwho departed this life April 21, 1873age 79 yearsa native of Sligo IrelandO Father dear, its hard to part,With you we love so dear:But Jesus parted with His life,That we in Heaven with Him might dwell.
