lty, was with her 50-year-brother Jam^s Monaghan an immigrants tour of and. They had visited in village of Farylynn and i the clustered rowhouse was home to their aits, William and Mary Varner, before they came merica.
mes Monaghan owned aghan Hotel in Tupelo. i chose to return to the on the maiden voyage of Titanic and boarded the y christened vessel either mthampton on April 10 or Queenstown, Ireland, the afternoon. By dusk, the nic was putting a long e between the excited : passengers and the grey 5 of the southwest coast ppearing into the :ening horizon, le 46,000 ton vessel was at time the newest, largest most luxurious liner it. She was built with a )le bottomed hull divided 16 watertight comments. Because four partments could be led supposedly without ^^ngering the ship’s 'ancy, the Titanic was idered unsinkable. though the Monaghans idered the second day out mewhat choppy one, more erienced travelers ght it was quite calm, ng the first 24-hour period traveled 386 miles, then and then 546. Shortly re midnight on Sunday,
1	14, the Titanic was ming at 22 knots, faster usual and despite iceberg (lings. Unnoticed by most lose aboard she suddenly ihed an iceberg, severing 100-foot gash down her board bottom which tore i five compartments, dually the passengers ame suspicious that ething was wrong as the nes stopped and certain man hurried about
things at home wnue Mrs. Monaghan was away, and shortly after the ordeal received word somehow of the sinking. Yet the family did not learn of their mother’s and Uncle Jim’s survival until they arrived home by train.
A sensitive woman, Mrs. Monaghan was burdened for the rest of her long life over the sea tragedy, and would not allow it to be mentioned and never spoke of it herself. Often she cried under the emotional weight of the sinking. Mention of the word “ship” upset her to the point of tears, for the rest of her life. She died at age 90 and was laid to rest on August 20, 1955, at Attala county’s Liberty Chapel cemetery.
James Monoghan died within one year of the disaster of an infected insect bite suffered while fishing with a Memphis friend named Goldsmith who operated a department store there. Yet, James too chose as did his sister to never discuss the events of April 15, 1912. when the Titanic slid beneath them to a watery grave in the north Atlantic Ocean carrying two-thirds of those aboard to their deaths.
