Richard (Dick) Stephen Price came to Canada in either 1911 or 1913.  Two different dates are given for the year of immigration depending on which Canadian census you consult.   The 1921 census indicates it was 1911; the 1926 census indicates it was 1913.

Dick served in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in World War I.  He never left Canada as he was conscripted into service in April 1918, took his training, and demobilized on January 1, 1919.

He married Elizabeth Jane Morrow in 1927 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.  They had one son.

    May Day traditions across Ireland

    <p>Lá Bealtaine (May Day) officially heralds the beginning of the summer in Ireland. The name is said to derive from Old Irish, meaning "bright fire" (Belenus was the Celtic sun and 'healer god'). Old traditions involved lighting bonfires at sunset on Oíche Bealtaine (or May Eve - April 30) on prominent local landmarks. The Hill of Uisneach in Co. Westmeath is the most famous example. These and other rituals (such as creating a May altar) still survive, particularly in the west of Ireland.
