A HISTORY OF ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY (GEORGIA)
by George Magruder Battey, Jr. The Web & Vary Company Atlanta,
Georgia 1922
p. 301
PATRICK CONAWAY, said to be residing in Texas, was a well-known
and efficient tinner of Rome. In 1890 he contracted to repair the stove
in the hall of Cherokee Lodge No. 66 in the Masonic Temple, and also
to fix the roof so the weather would not beat down upon the assembled brethern.
He was due to start the job one morning, but decided he could
mend the stove at night and thus save time. Climbing the long stairway
with a repair kit, he opened the lodge room door, when out dashed a
white object like a streak of greased lightning, upsetting the stove and
sending clinkers and soot all over the floor. The stove pipe must have
hit PAT, for he emerged with some fine smudges of soot. It was not
known which got to Broad Street first -- the biped or the quadrupled --
but neither hit the stairs many times coming down. PAT lost his hat
and didn't stop until he had reached a corner light, there to "review"
himself. It is said PAT never went back for his tools, nor did he mount
the roof to complete his undertaking. Asked by a committee from the
Lodge, he said, "Faith, I never bargained for to be chased out by
the
bloody goat! And now, begorra, he will nivver be caught again, and you
will be foriver blamin' me!"
The "goat" was a white bird dog left in the hall by a hunter
member.
