bcth. Catherine and John lived on a good quality farm in and raised three children—Catherine, (from first marriage), Alphonsc ( Phonsic ), and Andrew (Andy). This Corrigan family may have been at Mass that windy September Sunday in 1897 when a freak accident occurred. While standing with her mother waiting to enter for Mass, a twelve year old girl, Mary Genevieve Fraser , was struck and killed when a heavy ornament fell from the turret and struck heron the head. qCbartottetoum Herald, September 15, 1897) Catherine became sick in the early 1900's and one of the Driscoll girls, 'Gussie', came to look after her. Gussie was Catherine's niece, the child of Margaret (Doyle) Driscoll from Mt. Herbert. While nursing her aunt Catherine, Gussie fell in love with Phonsic Corrigan—the only trouble being she was his first cousin! Catherine died in 1910, and is buried in Vernon River R.C. Cemetery beside her husband. The grave is marked with a fine stone. Gussie and Phonsic applied for a dispensation so they might marry. Phonse went overseas in the first great war and when he returned in 1918 he found that the dispensation applied for, had not been granted. At that point he sold the farm to Bill Doyle , also a descendent of James and Margaret Lacey. After selling the farm, Phonsic went to visit his brother Andy in California . On his return he discovered that his dispensation had been granted about 1921. He and Gussie then married and bought a lovely fruit farm in Georgetown Royalty a former property of Captain McPhec , and grew apples and cherries, mainly for the market in Newfoundland . They were unable to make a go of it, however, and eventually Gussie died in the Chariottetown Hospital while Phonsic suffered the same fate at the Provincial San a few years later.
