Paul Mary Pakenham: Rector of Mount Argus - A rosary given by J.J.Colman, Snr., The Forge, 1 Camden Place, Dublin City to the Provincial, Mount Argus, Harold's Cross. Mr. Colman stated that the rosary was "bought for a trifling sum from a man of the name of Pidgeon a handyman about the house. It belonged to the late Paul of the Cross, who died at the house of your Order". The writer remembers this occurance and asks the Provincial or a representative to come and pick up the rosary. (The reference to Paul of the Cross is evidently a mistake for Paul Mary). The above details were recorded by Declan O'Sullivan on the original registration card with an added note as follows: "Thom's Directory, 1962-63 lists a Colman at No.2 -a farrier".
