The memorial, dedicated by Hartford AOH in 2022, remembers a forgotten Irish-Catholic cemetery in Windsor Locks. The memorial honors the 400 immigrant laborers who left their homeland in Ireland and came to the area between 1827-1829 to build a\u00a0canal. In particular, the memorial remembers those\u00a0canal\u00a0workers and family members that are buried in an unmarked cemetery that is located about 100 yards and across the\u00a0canal\u00a0from where the memorial is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1515\" height=\"646\" data-id=\"10925\" src=\"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10925\"\/><figcaption>Members of Hartford AOH\u00a0Division\u00a02 and local dignitaries at the wreath laying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2016\" height=\"908\" data-id=\"10927\" src=\"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photos2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10927\"\/><figcaption>The Irish Canal Workers Monument and the wreath to remember the unmarked burial ground near the site.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2016\" height=\"908\" data-id=\"10926\" src=\"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10926\"\/><figcaption>The wreath laying featured prayers and the singing of the national anthems of both the United States and Ireland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<div class = 'socialMediaOnEveryPost'><div id=\"sgmbShare1-1\" class=\"sgmbShare jssocials-theme-classic sgmbWidget1-1\"><\/div><div class=\"dropdownWrapper dropdownWrapper1 dropdownWrapper-for-widget \" id=\"dropdownWrapper-for-widget\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dropdownLabel\" id=\"dropdownLabel-share-list\"><span class=\"sgmbButtonListLabel1\">Share List<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dropdownPanel dropdownPanel1-1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><script>  SGMB_URL = \"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-builder\/\"; jQuery(\".dropdownWrapper\").hide(); SGMB_GOOGLE_ACOUNT = \"\"; <\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($){var widget = new SGMBWidget();widget.show({\"id\":\"1\",\"title\":\"Default\",\"options\":{\"currentUrl\":\"1\",\"url\":\"\",\"shareText\":\"\",\"fontSize\":\"10\",\"betweenButtons\":\"1px\",\"theme\":\"classic\",\"sgmbButtonsPosition\":\"bottomRight\",\"socialTheme\":\"classic\",\"icon\":\"default\",\"buttonsPanelEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"buttonsEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"iconsEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"buttons\":\"{\\\"facebook\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"Share\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-facebook\\\"},\\\"twitter\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"Tweet\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-twitter\\\",\\\"via\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"hashtags\\\":\\\"\\\"},\\\"googleplus\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"+1\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-googleplus\\\"},\\\"email\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"E-mail\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-email\\\"}}\",\"roundButton\":\"\",\"showLabels\":\"on\",\"showCounts\":\"\",\"showCenter\":\"\",\"showButtonsAsList\":\"\",\"sgmbDropdownColor\":\"\",\"sgmbDropdownLabelFontSize\":\"14\",\"sgmbDropdownLabelColor\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnEveryPost\":\"on\",\"selectedOrExcluded\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnEveryPage\":\"\",\"textOnEveryPost\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnCustomPost\":\"\",\"textOnCustomPost\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnMobileDirect\":\"on\",\"showButtonsOnDesktopDirect\":\"on\",\"sgmbSelectedPages\":[\"\"],\"sgmbExcludedPosts\":[\"\"],\"sgmbSelectedCustomPosts\":[],\"showButtonsInPopup\":\"\",\"titleOfPopup\":\"\",\"descriptionOfPopup\":\"\",\"showPopupOnLoad\":\"\",\"showPopupOnScroll\":\"\",\"showPopupOnExit\":\"\",\"openSecondsOfPopup\":\"\",\"googleAnaliticsAccount\":\"\"},\"buttonOptions\":{\"facebook\":{\"label\":\"Share\",\"icon\":\"default-facebook\"},\"twitter\":{\"label\":\"Tweet\",\"icon\":\"default-twitter\",\"via\":\"\",\"hashtags\":\"\"},\"googleplus\":{\"label\":\"+1\",\"icon\":\"default-googleplus\"},\"email\":{\"label\":\"E-mail\",\"icon\":\"default-email\"}},\"button\":[\"facebook\",\"twitter\",\"googleplus\",\"email\"]}, 1, '', 'https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photos2.jpg', '', 'https:\/\/aoh.com\/2023\/04\/06\/aoh-hartford-honors-irish-canal-workers\/'); });<\/script><\/div><script> jQuery(\".socialMediaOnEveryPost\").addClass(\"sgmb-right\") <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AOH Hartford\u00a0Division\u00a02 held a wreath laying ceremony at the Irish\u00a0Canal\u00a0Workers Monument in Windsor Locks, Conn., on Sunday, March 19.
