This Mr Ruddy must have been psychic then...as he died in the decade before the famine....and why wait until next St Patrick's day to give him a reburial?

For what it is worth any Ruddy I've ever met in Ireland
has strong Mayo connections. There are still many families
bearing that surname in the county.

This story shows how much the early immigrants suffered. They were hated here in America for being Irish and most of all for being Catholic. They escaped the famine only to come here and suffer again. May there souls rest in peace because they sure never had it in life.
