Walking Backward to Heaven?: Edmond Ronayne's Pilgrimage in Famine Ireland and Gilded Age America
|
| Abstract |
Born in County Cork, Ireland, Edmond Ronayne (1832-1911), a Catholic apostate, immigrated to Quebec City in 1856 where he taught in Protestant acadamies and was master of his own school in Upper Town. Known for his delivery of a number of anti-Catholic lectures, in the spring of 1858 Ronayne joined the Loyal Orange Order and in December was installed as master of his lodge. After severing his ties with the Orange Order in 1860, he joined the Harrington Lodge No. 49 Masonic Lodge. Ronayne left Quebec City for the United States in 1865, possibly because of the discovery of his involvement in Quebec City's Fenian Brotherhood.
