Copany School
students, 1913
Students at the Copany
School in County Donegal, just outside Donegal Town. Marion Cassidy
is the monitor standing on the left. The child in front of her is
probably her brother Alphonse. In the front row the first boy
on the left is Anthony Cassidy, Marion's future brother-in-law; the
second boy over from him is Marion's first cousin, Francis Michael
Cassidy. The first girl in the second row is Agnes Julia
Cassidy, Marion's sister who was to die in October of the following
year. The fourth boy in the back row is John James Cassidy,
who died of the "Big Flu" in 1918, and was the brother of Andy
Cassidy, Marion's future husband. The next boy is John Cassidy, who
might be Marion's brother, John B. There are numerous other
possible relations- McMullens, Murphys, Slevins and Quinns.
After Copany School
closed in the 1970s, Marion's younger brother, Father Donal, and
younger sister, Eileen, purchased the building and converted it into
a residence, where Father lived in his retirement in the 1980's.
