Items related to Lucan Home of the Donnellys
Terry Culbert`s love of his Irish roots spawned this unusual look at the Irish-Canadian village which he grew up. Lucan, a half-hour north of London, Ontario, suffered a violent beginning with the massacre of five Donnelly family members in 1880. Those brutal slayings went unpunished. The first third of this book is Donnelly related, with many stories never published before. The retired television news journalist, photograper, and artist has filled his book with dozens of illustrations and photographs. The compilation of short stories not only includes The Donnellys, but village commerce, village life, sports, and music from past to present. Many of Terry`s stories focus on interesting characters and events that have contributed to Lucan`s rich history. Two and a half years in the making, Lucan: Home of The Donnellys is an engaging collection of Canadiana.

About the Author:
Terry (Terrence Patrick) Culbert was born May 13th, 1942, in London, Ontario. He is a fifth-generation Irish-Canadian. The Culbert family immigrated to Biddulph Township from Tipperary, Ireland, in 1840. At the age of eighteen, Terry left the village of Lucan to begin a forty-two-year career in television news. Today, the father of two wonderful married daughters, Sarah Renda and Dana Johnson, Terry lives on Amherst Island at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River with his fabulous life partner Barbara Hoegenauer. The couple resides on O`Drains Bay overlooking Prince Edward County with their two Bouvier canines, Merlot, and Justin, and Babe, their feline. Terry has been a lifelong supporter and promoter of the village of Lucan. He is donating a portion of the proceeds of each book sold to the Lucan Area Heritage Donnelly Museum.

This is a collection of vignettes around Lucan, a village in Ontario that has a very rich, albeit controversial, history. In February of 1880, a vigilante committee descended, in the dead of night, on the Donnelly family as they slept in their Biddulph Township farmhouse. The vigilantes left behind four massacred bodies and a log home burning to the ground. Before the night ended, they had continued up the road, murdering another Donnelly. More than one hundred and twenty-five years later, no one has ever been punished for those brutal slayings. The first third of the book is Donnelly related, with many stories never published before. Culbert has compiled not only Donnelly stories, but also stories on village commerce, village life, sports, and music from past to present.
