The TALES you probably never heard about

MICHAEL BLAKE

[Welland Tribune, 20 December 1895]

Michael Blake, our former townsman, under date of Dublin, Dec.6, writes that he leaves the Royal hospital at Kilmainham on Jan. 1, going from there to live in his native place, Tory Hill, Croom, Limerick. Mr. Blake says he got tired of the hospital and wants to live among relatives and friends again. He spent a part of the past summer in Liverpool with his son Valentine, who, Mr. Blake says, has grown to be a big, well-behaved, sober, steady man, earning 6s, 8d a day then on shore. Mr. Blake closes his letter by saying he has very good health and wishing all Welland friends a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The same to you, Michael, and so say we all of us.
