As I am sitting here I am watching a commercial for Channel 10 News with "Mark O'Brien".

The day before yesterday, I was talking to a Cutter from the Meat Dept. in the Hannaford Supermarket I work at in Voorheesville N.Y., his name is also Mark. As it happens his Mother's maiden name was "O'Brien." His people came from Cork to Menands N.Y.

Yesterday, I was chatting with a Truck Driver for Sure Winner Foods Ice-cream distributors out of the Pittsfield, Massachusetts warehouse. I mentioned that I had been to Lenox last weekend searching for O'Brien's.

"Did you stop at O'Brien's Market?" he said.

"Yeah, how did you know?..."

"I used to work for him and his father when I was younger up in Pittsfield..."

"WELL, HIT ME IN THE HEAD WITH A BRICK!" said I....

Glebie-Glue!

Glebe Ho. stands for "Glebe House".

A Glebe or Glebe House was in the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions. The glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish.

A Glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense.

Also : archaic : Land specif : a plot of land. Also : land belonging or yielding revenue to a parish church or ecclesiastical benefice.

My guess is that "yielding revenue to" is what my ancestors were up to. They were Coopers by Trade and more than likely would have been employed in the making of barrels, to store or ship the "yielded" product of Flax or Grain.
