ON 13 FEBRUARY 2019, SCHAMUHN INTERVIEWED ERNEST BRIERLY’S GRANDSON, WILLIAM IRWIN, REGARDING HIS GRANDFATHER’S PRIOR DONATIONS. THE INFORMATION BELOW HAS BEEN EXTRACTED FROM THAT INTERVIEW: ON HIS GRANDFATHER’S E.F. HAGELL PAINTING, “WINSOME MARQUIS,” IRWIN RECOUNTED: “IT WAS ALWAYS IN GRANDFATHER’S HOUSE, [MY FAMILY] CALLED IT ‘SCOUT’. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS HIS DOG, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY A FORMAL PAINTING.” “HE [ERNEST BRIERLY] RAISED COLLIE DOGS, FOR A WHILE [BEFORE MY TIME]…I THINK HE ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF CUPS FROM DOG SHOWS…” WHEN ASKED ABOUT WHERE HIS GRANDFATHER WAS RAISING COLLIES, IRWIN REPLIED, “CERTAINLY IN SHAUGHNESSY.” WHEN ASKED WHEN HIS GRANDFATHER WAS RAISING COLLIES, IRWIN RECALLED, “IT WOULD BE IN MY MOM’S CHILDHOOD.” “[SHE TOLD ME] WHEN SHE’D BRING HOME A BOYFRIEND, IF THE DOGS DIDN’T LIKE HIM, THEY WERE GONE. MY DAD MADE IT PAST THE DOGS!” PLEASE SEE PERMANENT FILE P19683384000 FOR MORE INFORMATION INCLUDING THE FULL INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION AND COPIES OF ARTICLES REGARDING THE FAMILY HISTORY.
