Hay Bay Tragedy 1819
from A Picture and 1000 Words Hosted by Wendy Jean Harty
Always be ready, to go at God's call. Death may be sent for you and enter your door. I can imagine my 3rd Great Grandmother, Mary Sarah Wilson, memorizing these words in school. She was only a baby when the tragedy occurred but the poem was recited and memorized for the next two decades and the stories repeated by the survivors.
