Author : Lilly Towey (nee Rooney), my late grandmother

Lilly Towey (nee Rooney), my late grandmother, was born in 1906 and grew up in Mullingar, where her family owned a farm, pub and shop.  Ahead of fair days, they provided lodgings for cattle dealers, and it was one of those young men – Jack Towey – who stole her heart.  Lilly and Jack married in Mullingar and soon after moved to Glasnevin, Dublin where they reared their six children.
