They had to pass the river Roe, about a mile above that town and having arrived at the ford where they generally crossed, near their own farm, they found from the swollen state of the river, it was quite impracticable to attempt a passage and proceeded a mile further up, where they crossed over at Tamniaran bridge. They had yet a very inconsiderable mountain stream to pass, over which there is no bridge and the car, with the three helpless individuals, was observed approaching it when beginning to get dark; the road here crosses the burn, very near its confluence with the Roe They were never again seen alive. Early on Sunday morning this eldest daughter went in search of her father and mother, supposing they had taken shelter from the storm, but had not proceeded far when she discovered the horse, still alive and in harness, thrown out on the bank of the Roe and a little further was the dead body of her father, with part of the reins still is his hand. During the day, when the waters had subsided, the remains of the woman were found cast out on a gravel bed near Bovevagh glebe, and those of the little boy, lacerated and mangled by the rocks over which he had been carried, were discerned at a bleaching ground near Newton Limavady, about eight miles from where the car was overturned. By this afflicting dispensation of providence eight children are left orphans unprovided for. transcribed by Teena from the Dublin Evening Post, Londonderry Sentinel, and Saunders Newsletter -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/
