George IrishIRISH, George Delbert          May 15, 1925 – Jan 19, 2023

Delbert was the first born son of James Stanton Irish and Jennie Werden (1905-1985,  daughter of Mary Ferguson, a  sister of Sam Ferguson). They lived with Delbert’s grandfather at his farm at Rose Island Road. When the farm was sold, they moved to Coe Hill and Delbert’s dad went to work for Armstrong’s Mill at Carson Lake near Millbridge, Ontario. Delbert quit school and went to work at the mill with his Dad. The family moved to Millbridge and Delbert and his brother Leslie lived there until 2013 when they moved to an apartment in Madoc. They moved to Caressant Care Nursing Home in Marmora in 2019.

Delbert did cut and sell slab wood; but his career continued to be the mill. While in Millbridge, the yard was filled with Delbert’s wind powered hand carved ornaments and his flowers. A nature lover, he fed the birds, turkeys and deer. The two brothers loved to visit friends and neighbours and were well respected by the community.

Delbert was a self taught, very talented carver who entered his work in County Fairs, winning prizes every year. His greatest accomplishment was an accurate carving of the Armstrong Mill and out buildings complete with furnishings, animals, vehicles, sleighs and logs which took him 30 years to finalize. They are on display at the North Hastings Museum in Bancroft.

He was predeceased by his parents. His brother Leslie, at 92, still lives at Caressant Care. He will be remembered by his brother Leslie, his relatives, long time friend Oscar Anderson and his many other friends.A special thank you to the staff at Caressant Care Nursing Home who gave him super Care while he lived there.

Les, the second son of parents James Stanton Irish and Hannah Jane Irish (Kelly; she went by Jennie) was born at his Grandparents farm at Rose Island. He was 5 years younger than his brother Delbert and they were best friends all their lives.

The family moved to Millbridge, Ontario when James went to work at Armstrong’s Mill at Carson Lake. The ” Irish Boys” as they became known, went to work at Armstrong’s Mill when Les turned 16, and remained there until it closed. He then went to work at Wilberforce Veneer Plant for 30 years.

The Irish Boys lived in their house in Millbridge until 2013. While there, they worked, crafted and visited with friends.
In 2013, they were talked into moving to an apartment in Madoc where Les continued to cook for Delbert and himself. Due to failing health, they moved to Caressant Care Nursing Home in Marmora in April of 2019 where they remained until they passed away – Delbert on January 19, 2023 and Les on April 19, 2023.
