"MORTY OGE" AND JOHN PUXLEY.

# "MORTY OGE" AND JOHN PUXLEY. ### The Eventful Lives and Tragic Ends of Famous Characters. To all the people of Bearhaven stock in this country as well as in the historic isle beyond the sea, the full, authentic and detailed story of Morty Oge O'Sullivan, who killed John Puxley, is of special thrilling interest. The story is being run in serial form in a spicy weekly, (The Searchlight), published in Brockton, by William D. Dwyer, a native of Bearhaven, who has devoted much time to a study of the history, folk lore and traditions of the locality. He illustrates each chapter of his story with a beautiful half-tone engraving showing many choice beauty spots in Bearhaven. He claims to be the first man who has ever published a work which gives any adequate idea of the place, or published in authentic and reliable detail the historic events which gave Bearhaven international prominence. In his story of Morty Oge, he brings out the undeniable facts that Governor Sullivan of Rhode Island, Governor Sullivan of Massachusetts and General John Sullivan, the confidential friend and advisor of George Washington, were the sons of a Bearhaven man, Sylvester Sullivan, and were consequently the blood relatives of that army of Sullivans who have figured prominently in the building of Fall River. The writer further proves that Morty Oge of Quidagh was the chief agent in recruiting in Ireland [for] the Irish Brigade in France, but for almost all his soldiers in Bearhaven, that he was with them at that most glorious of military achievements — the battle of Fontenoy — and that it was Bearhaven men who crowned Ireland with glory by the routing of the British on that never-to-be-forgotten field. There Lord Clare bestowed on Morty Oge the rank and title of colonel, and [where] subsequently, he, Morty, was introduced to the court of France. He received a medal in recognition of the fact that he was the handsomest soldier in the army. His valor was already acknowledged. Mr. Dwyer has gone to a great deal of expense and devoted a great deal of his time and energy to the work of producing an extremely valuable piece of literature of deep interest to all students of history, to all Irishmen, and to all Bearhavenees [Bearhaven-ites] particularly. He is naturally anxious that his people should appreciate it, and he is furnishing the paper weekly at three cents a copy. It is for sale at Henry M. Driscoll's, corner of Main and Rodman streets. Parties may have the paper delivered to them by mail at their homes by writing to W. D. Dwyer, Box 615, Brockton, Mass., and enclosing $1.50 for a year's subscription, $1.00 for eight months or 75 cents for six months. --- [Editor's note: transcribed from the left-hand column of the clip.
