That cemetery had a lot of historical markers in it for the early settlers in the area. The Colonist refers to the voluntary settlers. I have seen Colonist on quite a few gravestones in different areas in South Australia. I haven't see it elsewhere.

Interesting that we might now say killed in a workplace accident but. Geadstone says died

Received something similar earlier in week

Reported (not easily) to AIB online

I do wonder if there is joined up thinking with regard to the telephone numbers used and whether mobile companies are proactive in policing

As I understand it the question asked was about a job at Áras - job rank and duty unspecified

Is it not correct that the candidate and the position would need to be considered?

If one is meant to be rehabilitated after a prison sentence, i am definitely more with Catherine Connolly than Minister Carroll MacNeill

The first time I have considered the word 'Colonist'

Does it include both those who arrived voluntarily and otherwise?

I have seen on headstones of religious the number of years professed/ordained but never seen number of years arrived in the country

Another for the TO FIND OUT MORE list

A close up photograph of two prominent, weathered marble gravestones in a cemetery.

The foreground headstone, leaning slightly, is a rounded top marker dedicated to "Mary Rebecca" (died December 31, 1891) and "John" (died September 23, 1902), stating he was "A Colonist of 51 Years."

The stone is etched with a floral/wreath design near the top. Behind it, a taller, Gothic-arched white marble headstone is partially visible.

The stones sit on gravel beds surrounded by a low railing, with a white structure and tall, dark trees in the background, out of focus.

'In memory of Mary, wife of John Richards, who departed this life June ye 3rd 1771. Age 31.' The inscription goes on:
All you that stop to read this stone, consider how soon she was gone, death doth not always warning give, therefore be careful how ye live'

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
