  1. John Fleming

    Share Share Post
    John Fleming was born in the parish of Clonea in the year 1815. When he was old enough he attended a hedge school in the parish of Kill and first taught at a night school in a farmer's house in Currabaha.
    Most of the old people around here were taught by him in the old school where he was a teacher from 1849 till 1882. I am not sure if there was any assistant teacher with him but there was a teacher here named Mrs. Crowe and she may have taught with him.
    When he taught in the Old School he came from Clonea every morning in an ass and car till he got an old housed now inhabited by Mrs. Ormonde.
