Darien Timber Gazette, Feb 4, 1893
The Report Confirmed

We regret to learn that the report of the drowning of Mr. Mike Mulcair has 
been confirmed.  Mr. Mulcair and Mr. Campbell left Darien on the 25th , for 
Doboy in a small sailboat.  Mr. Campbell was asleep and it is thought that Mr. 
Mulcair, while trying to lower the sail lost his balance, fell overboard and 
was drowned near Doboy.  Mr. Mulcair was a native of Canada but had been 
living in this county about ten years.  His wife died here in 1891 and a young 
baby survives them.  Mr. Mulcair had many friends here who will regret to hear 
of his sudden death.  To the aged parents in far-off Canada we extend 
heartfelt sympathies.

Additional Comments:
After his wife died soon after childbirth in August of 1891, Mike was unable 
to care for both of his children and allowed his brother in Canada to come and 
take the oldest child back to raise "for a while".  Sarah Ann Mulcair was six 
when she boarded a boat with an uncle she had never met before and went to 
Canada.  The baby, Mary Ellen Mulcair was raised by her grandmother, Sarah 
(Doyle) McGinley, at the Ridge along with Sarah's four surviving children.  
Sarah's husband had died 8 days after Sarah's daughter Mary Ellen Mulcair died 
in childbirth. Mike Mulcair, the baby's father, was her son-in-law.
