Ballybunion Eviction 1884

November 4, 2017Written by Kay Caball

 

One of our readers, Mary Wesley-Smith  has kindly alerted me to this letter which her relative John Stack wrote to the Kerry Sentinel in 1884.   A well written letter outlining his case:

 

Ballybunion   7/6/1884

Sir, You will oblige me by giving publicity to the following facts in the columns of your popular journal to demonstrate the hardships to which the victims of landlord oppression are subjected. For the third time in the last 7 years have I been cast forth from the home of my fathers by that cruel agent of landlord tyranny viz-the “Crowbar Brigade”. I received the 1st visit from the landlord’s emissaries in March 1877. It was then I experienced the awful penalties attached to an eviction. On a bitter March morning my house was surrounded by the sheriff with his staff of police, bailiffs, etc.  My personal effects were thrown out by the bailiffs who took a fiendish delight in their work – my aged mother suffered such a shock that she became from that day forth a helpless invalid. I did not owe a penny rent, yet such was the state of agrarian legislation that my future was left to the tender mercies of an arbitrary landlord. The same was enacted in April ’82 and finally in April ’84 my house was surrounded by the sheriff, police etc. and my invalid mother was carried out in a downpour of rain by 2 emergency men and having received the last rites of the Church died a few days later , a victim of landlord oppression.

 

Such is a brief outline of the many wrongs I have suffered . I will now briefly state the facts which led to my last eviction. I hold 2 farms one at Bromore and the other at Trippol. The aggregate rent is 27 pounds-5 shillings,  the valuation 12 pounds. The Landlord is Mr Wilson Gun and the agent G.R. Brown his son in law. Since the first day he inherited the property I have been to him (for some unaccountable reason) an object of especial hatred.

 

Last Jan I sold one of my farms with the land lord’s consent and lodged in the bank the amount of arrears due, one year’s rent, but he would not sanction the sale unless I sold both, an arrangement I indignantly refused. His object simply was to get rid of me as peaceably as he could but I who have been trice victimised by him will endure the greatest privations ere I would abandon the land of my forefathers. He thinks I must finally  yield , but I publicly avow that as long as a drop of blood courses through my veins I will never submit to terms dictated by a representative of that miserable set whose ascendancy has given way to the enlightened sway of public opinion and the will of a determined people .

I am Sir,

Yours respectfully,

John Stack.

 

P.S. I may mention that when I lodged the money in bank and secretly rejoiced in triumphing for a third time , the writ already ( ………not sure what this word is)  was executed a few days afterwards ,the humane agent having a few days previously departed for England after issuing his orders to his minions.

 

Note:  Wilson Gun was the Immediate Lessor in 1884 of the above land.  Another relative of John Stack has added an addrndum:

 

Parnell tried to get lease holders admitted and so did the finding of the Cowper Commission I know Gun  did not like the Stacks.John’s brother Robert was Secretary to the Ballybunion branch of Land League . Up to the 1881 Land League Gun’s tenants had free turbery but so annoyed was Gunn by the clause of the Act …the three F’s…that he imposed a bog rent The Stacks refused to pay and Robert got a fortnight in Tralee jail. If John was wrongfully evicted there would have been a boycott as boycotting was common then

    Just wondering if John Stack is related to my 2xGreat Grandmother Joanna Dore/Dower (nee Stack) ?

    My ancestors came from the Ballybunion area.

Pam, you would need some more information – dates and locations to find out. Why not log in to http://www.Irishgenealogy.ie and see if you can find Johanna Stack’s marriage to ?Dore. The marriage records would give you Johanna’s father’s name and address then. If you could get hold of my book Finding Your Ancestors in Kerry, you would get all the hints and help so that you could research all your Kerry ancestors then,

Austin Stack had relations in Listowel area, anyone know where are his letters.

 

Irish Press 1931-1995, Tuesday, December 09, 1952; Page: 6

 

An Austin Stack Letter

 

THE two men disagreed

 

violently on political matters, but that didn't prevent Austin Stack and James Clarke, the Ballybunion merchant, from being excellent friends. The fact that the Republican leader wrote to Mr. Clarke from Richmond Barracks, Dublin, on June 10. 1916, on one of Air. Clarke's billheads showed how close was the friendship. The document is a little browned with age now, but Stack's clear hand can still be read. I got it through a Galway priest from a nun in the Isle of Wight with the suggestion that it should be sent to the 1916 Collection.

 

" My dear Jem," the letter opens, and there follows the remark: "You so loyal may not expect a letter from a rebel. . . " After inquiring for Mrs. Clarke and the family, the information is given that " I am to be tried next week, and maybe I shall see you all before the end of the summer." The hardships of imprisonment in Tralee, Spike Island and Dublin make Stack think of the sea breezes of Ballybunion, and he expresses the longing to join his friends down there for a holiday.

 

The rebel Is optimistic. " With a fair trial I should be acquitted as there is really no evidence against me, but these court-martial proceedings are farcical, if I may use the word with regard to matters so serious. . . . Of course, to you this may be rank sedition, but you have long known my sentiments."

 

Stack informs his friend that things in the prisons have been fairly good since Asquith's visit but stresses that " it was not for love of us" that the British Prime Minister ordered better treatment — public opinion, especially in America, had been responsive. And again: "This Rising has resulted in good already and further victory is to come, for Imperialism in this country is done with for ever . .Every conviction brings us nearer the goal, so I shall welcome my sentence if I get one. I only envy the brave men who fell for Ireland while I was as a rat in a trap." It is part of history now that Stack was arrested for his work in preparing for the landing of the German arms. His trial followed the pattern of the period and he was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to twenty years' penal servitude, which ended with the. general amnesty in June 1917. He was afterwards Minister for Home Affairs in the Republican Government. He did forty-one days on hunger strike while a Republican prisoner in 1923. He died in 1929.

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

Austin Stack had relations at 26 Church Street in Listowel and he used stay with them on occasion. This was related to me by a lovely lady, Mai Quillinan, who had been a librarian in Dublin, Mai came to live with an elderly aunt on her retirement in Listowel. They lived in a well documented house at number 26 Church Street, known as the Emporium. The frontage of which is now regarded as one of the master plaster craftsman, Pat McAuliffe's, finest pieces of his unique craft. A photograph of the top frontage can be seen on page 158 of Carmody's " Snapshot of an Irish Market Town".

 

In another publication, "Streets of Listowel" published by the North Kerry Architectural Survey Committee in 1987, The Emporium is described as follows,

 

 

 

" A delightful fusion of Celtic, Eastern and American influences, this facade, built circa 1840 is a spectacular memorial to Pat McAuliffe's artistry and workmanship.

 

There is a progression in detail from top to bottom. The ground floor has a distinctive scroll-like name fascia, now bereft of title, with a raised Celtic plaster design on either side. There is a row of 'egg and dart' decoration underneath the cornice. The large window is protected by a wooden railing -an important consideration on fair days.

 

The first storey is more elaborate - two dragon-like creatures 'support' a curved name fascia on which the word " Emporium" was once written. Shafts on either side bear a repeating Celtic interlace.

 

The second storey has two pilasters with a changing etched design on the shaft and a swan motif on the capital.

 

An American eagle crowns the building and sits on a panel which bears two lions heads, a sunburst and the inscription " E Pluribus Unum" - meaning " One out of many". Two horses are in attendance on either side, completing what is an unacclaimed work of art"

 

Among memorabilia that I have, is a black bordered, thank you card, which bears the legend, " Mrs Austin Stack returns sincere thanks for your very kind sympathy in her great sorrow" with the address and date underneath, "Sea Bank, Merrion, Dublin. May 1929.

Final evacuation from the ill-advised Gallipoli invasion which saw the death of 3,500-4,000 Irish soldiers fighting either in Australian, New Zealand or British uniform. An estimated 44,000 allied soldiers died.

 

 

 

The Gallipoli campaign was a costly failure for the Allies, with an estimated 27,000 French, and 115,000 British and dominion troops (Great Britain and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Newfoundland) killed or wounded. Over half these casualties (73,485) were British and Irish troops. New Zealand suffered around 8,000 killed and wounded, about 5.6 percent of Allied casualties on Gallipoli. The Ottoman Empire paid a heavy price for their victory: an estimated 250,000 Turkish and Arab troops were killed or wounded defending Gallipoli.

 

 

 

Of the 1,100 of the 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers who landed on 25 April where ‘the water of the bay ran red with blood,’ the Military History Society of Ireland, states that only 11 would survive the entire campaign unscathed. The botched campaign forced the resignation of Winston Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty.

LAND AS PUBLIC PARK- PROPOSED SCHEME

 

Public Park.

 

Mr. R. A. Macaulay, solicitor to the Council wrote to the Acting Town Clerk under date November 12th enclosing map and letter received from Messrs. M. J. Byrne and Co. Solicitors, relative to the gift to the Council of a tract- of land at Gurtinard, donated by the Listowel estate.

 

Messrs. M. J. Byrnes’ letter explained that the property transferred is to be held in trust for the use of the inhabitants of the town of Listowel as a public park and no buildings of any kind are to be erected thereon without the consent in writing of the transferors.

 

Gifts Act.

 

Mr. Macaulay, the Council’s Solicitor, also wrote enclosing copy of the Local Authorities (Acceptance of Gifts) Act 1945. Mr. Macaulay’s .letter stated that he had not yet had an opportunity of preparing a draft scheme for submission to the Council but that he thought it would be of great assistance and would make for economy in time if the enclosures he sent therewith were submitted to the Council to obtain their views on the broad outlines of the undertaking. The Council may have definite views affecting the management of the gift property and also affecting the provisions of the proposed scheme and when such views were submitted to him he, Mr. Macaulay would prepare a draft of the scheme which could be submitted to the Council in due course. Having discussed the matter the Council unanimously approved as far as possible the provisions of the scheme but they requested the Council’s Solicitor to draft a scheme which would be considered at next meeting.

Hello, I live in co. Kerry, Ireland. My great grandmother, Catherine Goulding was from Newtownsandes in north Kerry. She had a brother, John, who was 26 years old in the 1911 census. Johns father, Hugh was 68 years old in 1911.Hughs wife, Bridget was 55 years old in 1911 .I hope this is of some help, Mike

Many thanks for your reply, Mike. It may well be that our Gould/Gouldings are connected. I place my John Golden in Chicago on Apr 9 1911. He was a sponsor at Visitation Church in Chicago at the birth of a John Walsh, son of Denis Walsh and Cath Sullivan. The other sponsor with John Golden was my great uncle John Howard. John Howard's brother Dan Howard later married a Bernice Goulding/Golden form Newtownsandes who was the sister of my John Golden. (Dan died and Bernice remarried to an Ed Gaynor) Did you have any Golden/Gouldings that came to Chicago? (Below I included Bernice's obit, does anything connect for you?) Nice to hear from you, Nan Brennan/Chicago 1962-03-08 Chicago Tribune (IL) Gaynor Bernice Gaynor, nee Goulding, beloved wife of Edward; loving mother of Edward Howard and John Gaynor; fond sister of Marie O'Brien, Margaret Kirby, Josephine Culhane, Nance, the late John, Hugh, Thomas, Patrick, Dennis, Michael, and Catherine O'Laughlin; grandmother of nine.

I forgot to add in my last email that John Howard was in Ireland in the 1911 census with his parents but also in Chicago with John Golden in April of 1911. But that's consistent with some going back and forth by the Howard brothers, Dan and John.

Hi again Mike, I just checked the Ellis Island passenger record for my Bernice Goulding/Golden When she came in May of 1908 she went to her sister in Chicago: Marie Goulding c/o James Coffey on West 45th St, Chicago. She was 17 years old. Her father was Michael Goulding of Cloonprohus? Newtownsandes.

07 Mar 2020 3:20 AMQUERIES- Daley

 

I wonder if these could be my Daley relatives. What I know about mine- my grandmother was Mary Daley and lived in Holyoke, MA after emigrating in 1880 at about age 21. I was told she was from County Kerry by one relative and County Clare by another and I am not certain which is correct. Mary had a sister Julia in Holyoke and several siblings who moved to Chicago- John, Daniel, Liz... and a Meg who was either another sister or an aunt. Mary and her siblings' parents were Daniel Daley and Eliza. I have not been able to trace them back in Ireland but I am trying. I believe my Daley relatives left Ireland because of the smaller 1879 famine, but they did not all come to the US together. I have what I think is Mary's ship manifest but I don't have the others. She came Queenstown (now Cobh) to New York (Castlegarden). Please let me know if you think our Daleys are related.

Luaí Ó Murchú

 

 

 

Luaí Ó Murchú was reared in South Armagh, but spent most of his life in Listowel, Co Kerry.  He was born on 30 May 1909 in Netownhamilton.  He was educated in Ballymoyer School (where his father was Principal Teacher), St. Mary’s College Dundalk, and Salesian College Pallaskenry. He was a playing member of St. Killian’s Football Club between 1928 and 1940, winning an Armagh J.F.C. medal in 1940; during that time he served as Club Secretary and reperesentative at County Meetings; he was a member of the Armagh team which won the Ulster J.F.C. in 1929, and registrar of Armagh County Committee in 1933. 

 

 

 

He joined the Civil Service in 1934, his employment eventually taking him to Listowel, Co Kerry, in 1946, where he played a prominent part in the founding and development of Writers’ Week, Listowel.  He was a founder member and first Chairman of Listowel Writers’ Week. (1971-

 

1977)

 

 

 

 A writer and broadcaster in both Irish and English, South Armagh has provided the background to much of his creative work.  Many of his stories have been broadcast on BBC Radio and Radio Éireann. Other stories have appeared in The Irish Press and in various publcations. Over the years he contributed numerous articles and reviews to newspapers and periodicals including Inniuand Comhar.  Much of his writing in English was under the pen-name Redmond O’Hanlon. He published the history of his local football club “St. Killian’s G.A.C. Whitecross” in 1996, and his collection of short storties “Journey Home” was published in 1997. He died in 1999.

 

 

 

"He adopted the pen-name of Redmond O’Hanlon.  Redmond O’Hanlon was a 17th century Irish Raparee who was born in 1640 at the foot of Slieve Gullion, a mountain which could be seen from my father’s home-place in Whitecross, Co Armagh."    Eamon ÓMurchú

 

 

 

 

 

Count Redmond O’Hanlon (1640–1681) was a “rapparee” or guerrilla-outlaw. He is often referred to as Ireland’s answer to Robin Hood. Although born in impoverished circumstances, he was a descendant of the last O’Hanlon chieftain who was Lord of Airgíalla and Master of Tandragee Castle. O’Hanlon lands and property was confiscated when he was alledged to have been present at a fatal argument. He took to the hills around Slieve Gullion and became an outlaw, or rapparee. Many other Gaelic Irishmen flocked to his banner.

 

Like many dispossessed members of the Gaelic gentry, Count O’Hanlon forced the Anglo-Irish landowners and Ulster Scots merchants to pay for insurance against theft. Travellers under his protection were provided with a written pass, which was to be shown to anyone trying to rob them. Those who disregarded the Count O’Hanlon’s passes or rustled from livestock herds under his protection were forced to return the stolen merchandise, then fined, and finally murdered if they persisted.

 

On 25 April 1681, Count Redmond O’Hanlon was fatally shot near Hilltown, County Down. According to popular account, he was murdered while sleeping.

 

--------------------

 

Redmond O’Hanlon (Sung by Tommy Makem)

 

There was a man lived in the north, a hero brave and bold

 

Who robbed the wealthy landlords of their silver and their gold

 

He gave the money to the poor, to pay their rent and fee

 

For Count Redmond O'Hanlon was a gallant rapparee

 

Chorus:

 

Then hurrah for Count O'Hanlon

 

Redmond O'Hanlon

 

Hurrah for Count O'Hanlon

 

The gallant rapparee

 

He had a noble big, black horse that was his joy and pride

 

A brace of loaded pistols, he carried by his side

 

He roamed the hills and valleys with a spirit wild and free

 

Count Redmond O'Hanlon, the gallant rapparee

 

Chorus

 

'Twas high upon Slieve Gullion that he used to ply his trade

 

And Squire Johnson from the fews, this handsome offer made

 

He said "I'll give four hundred pounds to hang him from a tree"

 

But, not a man in all the land would sell the rapparee

 

Chorus

 

They sent the soldiers after him to try and bring him back

 

O'Hanlon only laughed at them upon the mountain track

 

And while the soldiers slept that night among the mountain gorse

 

He stole their guns and rode away upon his noble horse

 

Chorus

 

'Twas back in 1681 that Count O'Hanlon died

 

And still along Slieve Gullion's slopes, they speak of him with pride

 

And anyone will tell you from Rathfriland to Forkhill

 

That in the silence of the night, you'll hear him riding still

 

Chorus

 

From Listowel Connection

 

 

 

 

 

Listowel's Carnegie Library

 

 

 

 

 

This story is still rumbling on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Denis Quille found this old photo of The Bridge Road. In it, on the right hand side, you can see the remains of the old library.

 

 

 

 

 

Quick recap on the history of that building.

 

 

 

In 1910 local leaders recognised the need for a library in town. They passed a motion at the UDC meeting to approach Lord Listowel for a site. They proposed to approach The Carnegie Trust for money to fit it out and then to pay for the upkeep from an extra penny on the rates.

 

 

 

 

 

The story dragged on a bit with approaches to Crosbie, Lord Listowel's agent, to the Carnegie trust, a bit of a local kerfuffle when a Cork firm got the contract etc. until 1915 when the library or Hall as it was known was finally opened.

 

 

 

 

 

Listowel's own Carnegie Hall was the town hall, a concert venue, a classroom and meeting room as well as a free lending library.

 

 

 

 

 

It thrived and served the people of the town well until one Sunday night in 1921 at the height of The Troubles, the building was gutted by fire. Fearing that the dreaded Black and Tans, who were on their way to town, would set up headquarters there, the local IRA burned the building. The UDC records as well as the books and equipment were all lost. A notice posted on the burned out shell claimed that the IRA had saved it from "the army of occupation".

 

 

 

 

 

The ruin of the building remained on Bridge Road, a grim reminder of a troubled time until it was eventually levelled to make way for a store.

 

 

 

 

 

Now back to the old photo which Denis Quille found in an old album. I mistakenly thought that the photo was taken while the building was intact. Not so.

 

 

 

 

 

Derry Buckley who knows Bridge Road well has done a bit of research for us.

 

 

 

 

 

Derry has circled the houses which were built by his grandfather.

 

 

 

"Jerry Buckley, my Grandfather built a house, and then  lived in it while he built another. He moved home to the next house as he went along,  Dad was born in 37 Bridge Rd. in 1932. The twins who died were born in another then Beatrice and Toddy in the corner house 51 in 1938. The end houses which are in the photo 53 and 55 were built after this so pic is about 1940."

 

 

 

Another piece of evidence that the photo is younger than I thought is the presence of electricity wires. Listowel had electricity before rural electrification. The below quote is from the ESB archive

 

 

 

 

 

    ·      Listowel Electric Light and Power Co. Ltd. was in operation before 1927. It supplied 336 homes and businesses in 1929, and was acquired by ESB in September 1929.

 

 

 

     Derry has also circled in blue, Junior Griffin's old home which was built in the 1930s.

 

 

 

    So until anyone else comes along to tell us otherwise, we'll take it that this great photo dates from the 1940s.

 

    By the way, wasn't Gurtinard Wood massive?

Ballybunion Eviction 1884

 

November 4, 2017 Leave a Comment Written by Kay Caball

 

One of our readers, Mary Wesley-Smith  has kindly alerted me to this letter which her relative John Stack wrote to the Kerry Sentinel in 1884.   A well written letter outlining his case: Ballybunion   7/6/1884 Sir,You will oblige me by giving publicity to the following facts in the columns of your popular journal to demonstrate the hardships to which the victims of landlord oppression are subjected. For the third time in the last 7 years have I been cast forth from the home of my fathers by that cruel agent of landlord tyranny viz-the “Crowbar Brigade”. I received the 1st visit from the landlord’s emissaries in March 1877. It was then I experienced the awful penalties attached to an eviction. On a bitter March morning my house was surrounded by the sheriff with his staff of police, bailiffs, etc.  My personal effects were thrown out by the bailiffs who took a fiendish delight in their work – my aged mother suffered such a shock that she became from that day forth a helpless invalid. I did not owe a penny rent, yet such was the state of agrarian legislation that my future was left to the tender mercies of an arbitrary landlord. The same was enacted in April ’82 and finally in April ’84 my house was surrounded by the sheriff, police etc. and my invalid mother was carried out in a downpour of rain by 2 emergency men and having received the last rites of the Church died a few days later , a victim of landlord oppression. Such is a brief outline of the many wrongs I have suffered . I will now briefly state the facts which led to my last eviction. I hold 2 farms one at Bromore and the other at Trippol. The aggregate rent is 27 pounds-5 shillings,  the valuation 12 pounds. The Landlord is Mr Wilson Gun and the agent G.R. Brown his son in law. Since the first day he inherited the property I have been to him (for some unaccountable reason) an object of especial hatred. Last Jan I sold one of my farms with the land lord’s consent and lodged in the bank the amount of arrears due, one year’s rent, but he would not sanction the sale unless I sold both, an arrangement I indignantly refused. His object simply was to get rid of me as peaceably as he could but I who have been trice victimised by him will endure the greatest privations ere I would abandon the land of my forefathers. He thinks I must finally  yield , but I publicly avow that as long as a drop of blood courses through my veins I will never submit to terms dictated by a representative of that miserable set whose ascendancy has given way to the enlightened sway of public opinion and the will of a determined people . I am Sir, Yours respectfully, John Stack. P.S. I may mention that when I lodged the money in bank and secretly rejoiced in triumphing for a third time , the writ already ( ………not sure what this word is)  was executed a few days afterwards ,the humane agent having a few days previously departed for England after issuing his orders to his minions. Note:  Wilson Gun was the Immediate Lessor in 1884 of the above land.  Another relative of John Stack has added an addrndum:

 

 

 

Parnell tried to get lease holders admitted and so did the finding of the Cowper Commission I know Gun  did not like the Stacks. John’s brother Robert was Secretary to the Ballybunion branch of Land League . Up to the 1881 Land League Gun’s tenants had free turbery but so annoyed was Gunn by the clause of the Act …the three F’s…that he imposed a bog rent The Stacks refused to pay and Robert got a fortnight in Tralee jail. If John was wrongfully evicted there would have been a boycott as boycotting was common then

IRISHMAN WINS V.C. BRAVERY IN NEW GUINEA SERVICE WITH AUSTRALIANS CANBERRA, Dec. 30 The Victoria Cross has been awarded to Private Richard Kelliher, of Ballybeggan, Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, for acts of bravery" in New Guinea. Private Kelliher, who came to Australia 10 years ago, enlisted in Queensland. The citation announcing the award, says that during an attack on a Japanese position at Nabzab on the morning ' of August 13, Private Kelliher's platoon came under heavy fire from a concealed enemy machine-gun. Several of the platoon were killed and others wounded, and it was impossible to proceed without further losses. In the face of these casualties, Private Kelliher, on his own initiative, dashed toward the enemy post, hurling grenades into it and killing some of the enemy. Then, returning to his  section, he seized a Bren gun, and, again dashing forward, completely silenced the post with accurate fire, j After this Private Kelliher requested permission to go forward again to rescue : his wounded section leader. This he successfully accomplished. "These actions," says the citation, he not only enabled the advance to continue and resulted in the capture of a strong enemy position, but also saved  his section leader's life."

Considering the fact that his engineering associates are in America, that his work before going to Canada was all in Ireland, and further that he went to the Dominion without pull of any kind and worked his way up entirely by merit, Mr. Kelliher's promotion (says the ' Freeman's Journal ') is taken as a compliment not only to his own merit and energy, but to the Cregton Short Line system, where he achieved some of his earlier successes. Mr. Kelliher is the third son of the late Mr. John Kelliher, of Ballyplymouth, Castleisland, county Kerry.

 The Irish Language; In opening the Thomond Feis the Right Rev. Mgr. Hallinan, of Newcastle West, paid a well-deserved tribute to the work of the Limerick City Branch of the Gaelic League. To this branch he rightly attributed the suggestion  of making St. Patrick's Day 'a national holiday, and to it also he gave credit for its work on behalf of the teaching of the Irish language. He said there was no place in Ireland, as far as he knew, where the Irish language in the schools was making greater progress than it was in Limerick City, and if it was making the same progress in the county the fact was due to the inspiration of the city.

Kilmore Press Vic.18 July 1812

 

OBITUARY.  Mr. Thomas Denis Ryan, who had been a resident of Kilmore for 27 years, and a business man of the highest probity and honour, died at half past twelve at his residence, Powlett-street, on Thursday morning last. Mr. Ryan, who was 62 years of age, was born in Glasgow in 1850; he was the only son of Mr. Thomas Ryan (a Customs official) his mother's maiden name being Mary McElligett, both being natives of   Ballylongford, Kerry, Ireland. His father having died when the subject of this notice   was only three months old, his mother remarried a Mr. Stack having issue three in family---the Rev. Gerald Stack, parish priest of Cambalang near Glasgow formerly a professor in St. Patrick's College in the city named---Mrs. Brady, now resident of Falmouth, and the late Sister Sebastian who up   to the time of her death some two years ago was rev. mother in the Presentation Convent at Glasgow, all of whom were much attached to their step-brother ; indeed Father Stack came all the way to Australia some two years ago to visit Mr. Ryan, spending some time with him, a matter of great, solace and pleasure to Mr. Ryan, who was then, and for some years previously, in delicate health. Deceased gentleman came to Victoria when quite a young man, and after spending a brief period with the late Mr Martin M'Kenna, of Kyneton Brewery, he took up duty with the old established and popular metropolitan firm of Messrs. Hogan and Mooney, wine and spirit merchants, to whom he proved a most capable, efficient and trustworthy employee. After some years with the firm named he married Miss Mulcahy, owner of the Oriterion hotel and store, which handsome business he actively carried on for some time, and practically supervised almost up to the day of his death, the delicate state of his health not seeming to dim his unusually bright intellectual capacity. During his long years as an invalid he was zealously and carefully looked after by his good wife, whose self-sacrificing devotion should be mentioned as deserving of all praise. The writer, who had special opportunities of knowing Mr. Ryan, has no hesitation in attributing to him many admirable qualities, being just, straightforward aud highly conscientious in his dealings and one whose accuracy was unquestionable. His death was most peaceful and edifying, being attended most assiduously by the local Catholic clergy- men---being conscious to the last moment. The remains, enclosed in an oak casket, were interred in the Kilmore Catholic Cemetery on Friday afternoon, the Rev. L. Martin,   P.P., attending to the obsequies at the grave. Mr James Beegan had charge of the mortuary arrangements, which were efficiently   attended to. We notice the death announced of Mrs. Mary relict of the late Mr. John Peavey, an old Moranding respected resident, aged 82 years. She died at the residence of her son, Mr. John Peavey, Gisborne. She was also mother of Mr. D. Hennessy, formerly a well- known Moranding and Kilmore resident, Mrs. Peavey came to this district with her first husband in 1854, and, although some distance from here for years, her affection for the place may be understood when she visited Kimore a couple of months back, and, in accordance wish her

Sr Stella Stack, of the Presentation Convent in Rathmore, was a career guidance counsellor at the school. Sr Stella also taught Irish. Ann McCarthy, from Boherbue, taught Irish and Religion at the school for the past 35 years. While Sr Mary McMahon, also a member of the Presentation Convent in Rathmore, had also taught Religion in the school until recently.

At Friday’s function, Principal Ger O’Donoghue thanked each of the teachers for their contribution to the school over the years and described them as hardworking, caring and loyal.

“These three teachers touched all our lives. They were not just colleagues - they were also our friends. Each of the three teachers represents the type of teacher that all teachers would like to be.

“They were open, transparent, straight forward and inspirational with plenty of humour.

 

They will be missed greatly by us all,” he said.

"Only for Tuatha Chiarrai we would not have been able to start the project in Knockanure. The total of the project was €513,000.00, we received the 1st grant from Tuatha Chiarrai for the total of €65,000.00. The old school was converted into a Community Centre, which is highly beneficial to the community of Knockanure today. Tom O'Donnell and all the staff of Tuatha Chiarrai have been wonderful to us."

Leslie Mary MacWeeney (b.1936)
Born in Dublin, Leslie MacWeeney studied at the National College of Art under Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal (q.v.). She was awarded a scholarship to the École des Beaux Arts, Paris, where she studied under Professor Souverbis. MacWeeney has been included in many group shows, making her debut at the RHA in 1957, and participating in (and helping to organise) the IELA (1954-1963), the Oireachtas (1955, 1962) and the WCSI (1963). Each time her address was given as Kilteragh Lodge, Foxrock, Co. Dublin. She was also included in the 1959 and 1961 Paris Biennales, and more recently in the Irish Women Artists exhibition, organised jointly by the National Gallery of Ireland and the Douglas Hyde Gallery in 1987. In the catalogue to this latter exhibition, Dorothy Walker gave high praise to MacWeeney's wall hangings of the Stations of the Cross, which now hang in the Corpus Christi Church, Knockanure, Co. Kerry. Walker deemed this series to be "one of the most important works of religious art in the sixties" and found in them "no false note, nothing maudlin, nothing trite, but a powerful emotional content" (pp.56-57). MacWeeney has also had solo shows at the Clog Gallery, Dublin (1957), and the Ankrum Gallery, Los Angeles (1961), and several shows at the Dawson Gallery, Dublin. Her work is in the collections of the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, TCD, the Thomas Haverty Trust, and the Santa Barbra Museum of Art, California.

Sayings.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears joined so that they cant be separated often moving in opposite directions yet punishing anyone who comes between them.

 

Financial headaches are bad severe pain extends as far down as the pants pockets.

 

Loud mouths don't have to worry about food shortages. They usually eat their words.

 

Life is a constant struggle to keep money coming in and teeth and hair coming out.

 

By the time most learn to behave they are too old to do anything else.

 

Some have many temptations because they know where to find them.

 

The reason the ram ran over the cliff he didn't see the ewe turn.

 

It is better to have loved a short guy than never to love a tall.

 

A person who is busy as a bee. May wake up to find his honey missing.

 

Some cocktails make you see double and feel single.

 

A partner sticks with all the trouble they wouldn't have if they hadn't joined.

SNIPPET from Newtownsandes.jimdo.com : The Football Feats of Jack Flavin by John Murphy. Moyvane footballer Jack Flavin was born in Aughrim and grew up when Con Brosnan was the best midfield player in Ireland from 1924 to 1932. At 19 he was on the Newtown (Moyvane) team which won North Kerry in 1928. At 20 he was on the Kerry junior team who won the all-Ireland in 1930. Two of that team also went of to greater honours -David O Keeffe and Roondy Landers. In 1931 he was of the team who won the National League and was sub the same year when they won the all-Ireland. In 1932 he was again sub in the 4 in a row win. Then politics began to rear its ugly head and a valley period in Kerry Football set in from 1933 to 1936. But back again in 1937. He was part of a forward machine which swamped Cavan in the replayed final -the other forwards were Purty and Roondy Landers, Miko Doyle, Charlie Sullivan and Tim O Leary. In 1938 he was on the Galway team which beat Kerry in a replay. In 1939 he won the National League with Galway. Still with Galway he won three more Connaught Championship medals only to be beaten twice by Kerry in the All- Ireland Finals of 1940 and 1941 -the third time by Dublin. Truly a great player, a local poet puts it better,
Mick Roche played a great game at mid-field, but Flavin was peerless. His equal is surely missing from football in Kerry today.

STACK, STAK, STAKE * *THE EARLY STACK FAMILIES IN COUNTY KERRY viz.

In 1286 the Stack family Anglo-Normans originally came from England. In the first part of the fourteenth century and by the 16th century they were completely Irish, being among the foremost Kerry adversaries to English. They were from the FitzGeralds, allies of the Fitzmaurices, lords and knights of Kerry. The Stacks of Crotta settled in Kilflynn in 1320 and expanded out of there building a resident at Crotta. In fact the town of Kilflynn was known as Stackstown. Their association with the area was further perpetuated by the Stack Mountains, which are situated between Tralee and Abbeyfeal. This entire area around Crotta is known as Pubble (Probal) Stack or Stack's country. Their association with Clanmaurice is perpetuated in the Stack Mountains between Tralee and Abbeyfeale and a district in the vicinity was long known as Pobble Stack or Stack's Country.

________________________________

Thomas Moore (1779-1852) - Poet, Composer and Singer.

Thomas Moore was born in Dublin in May 1779. He died in Wiltshire, England in February 1852. His father, John Moore was from Kerry- his mother, Anastatia was from Wexford. The father ran a modest grocery shop in Aungier Street in central Dublin. The building is still extant.

While growing-up in Dublin he studied music and piano. He was also well educated in the classics in private schools in Dublin. He entered Trinity College, Dublin in 1794, graduating wit an Arts degree from the University in 1799. He then moved to London where he studied Law. However, his motivations from the beginning led him towards the literary and musical fields.

His first literary work, Ode to Anacreon based on the Greek poet's Anacreon writings, was published with great success in 1800. It was a work celebrating wine, women and song- as a result Moore developed a somewhat devilish reputation in London. The work was dedicated to the Prince of Wales.

With the publications of the first of the ten volumes of Moore's Melodies in 1808, Thomas Moore's fame in the musical world was secured both in Britain and on the continent. Some considered the Melodies to be Moore's greatest lifetime work.

However, Moore's talents were always more literary than musical, although by his own account it was really music that caused him to start writing poerty.
Moore's next endeavor, The poetical works of the late Thomas Little, published in 1801 continued in the same mode, although it was not quite as successful. His reputation grew to the extent that he was invited to the drawing rooms and salons of Society, where his vocal and musical attributes were also praised by the elite of London.
In 1805, having spent some time on the Island of Bermuda as a British Government representative he took time off to travel in America and Canada. Meanwhile, his assistant in Bermuda proceeded to mismanage the Government funds and in the process Moore became implicated.

To avoid imprisionment in Britain, Moore went to live in continental Europe instead of returning to Britain. During this period he spent extensive time traveling in Italy with his long-time friend, Lord Byron. During this period, Byron entrusted Moore with his written memoirs to "do with them as he wished." Ultimately Moore, along with his publisher, John Murray, for whatever reason decided to burn Byron's manuscript- preferring instead to write his own biography about his gifted friend based on Byron's letters and Journal.
Additionally, Moore also eventually managed to deal with his legal problems arising from his Bermuda financial obligations and was able to return to London and reside there.

In 1808 the first edition of ten volumes of Moore's Melodies was published, the arrangement was by the Irish musician John Stevenson. The poetry was by Moore, and the music for the songs was adapted from old Irish Folk tunes which had been collected and put on paper by Edward Bunting, who developed most of his collection while attending the Belfast Harp Festival of 1792.

Eventually, the subsequent nine volumes which were published through 1834 contained more than 130 songs. Some of the more famous being- ‘Tis the Last Rose of Summer, The Harp that Once Through Tara's Halls, The Minstrel Boy, Oft In The Stilly Night and Erin the Tear and the Smile.

In 1817, Moore wrote Lalla Rookh, an extensive oriental romantic poetic work which became very popular and also the subject for an opera and other musical compositions by various European composers, such as Gaspare Spontini, Felicien David, Hector Berlioz and Anton Rubinstein and in Britain, Charles V. Stanford and Graville Bantock.

Throughout the years that have followed, many new editions of Moore's Melodies have been published, including one particularly important arrangement by the Irish composer, Michael W. Balfe in 1859, in London and later, another by another Irish born composer, Charles V. Stanford. Many of the songs had strong patriotic themes which also made them very popular in America.

Moore's recognition continued to grow, not only in Britain but also throughout continental Europe and in America, Canada Australia and New Zealand. Selected songs from his Melodies were also translated into various foreign languages. The far flung fame and popularity of the Melodies resulted in him gaining a significant ongoing income from his work.

His fame placed him in the front rank of of British Society. On the continent, renowned composers such as, Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz and Robert Schumann produced selected arrangements of songs from the Melodies with translated text. And, perhaps Moore's most famous song of all, ‘Tis the Last Rose of Summer became the main theme music for the opera Martha by Friedrich von Flotow which had its premiere in Vienna in 1847.

In addition to his Melodies, Moore also composed several other songs, some to music by Irish composer, Michael Balfe. Moore's songs and selected other works became quite popular with singers of the period, such as the great Irish soprano, Catherine Hayes who introduced several of them while visiting Australia in the 1850′s. To a lesser extent, Hayes' renowned contemporaries and friends, Jenny Lind, and British tenor Sims Reeves also sang some of them.

On the personal side, Moore was married to Elizabeth "Bessie" Dyke in 1811. Her father was from Cork and her mother was English. They had four daughters and two sons. Tragically all of their children died before the parents, which was not uncommon during the 19th century. Moore died in 1852 and his wife followed him in 1865. He's buried at Bromham Cemetry, Wiltshire, England.

Moore returned to Ireland many times throughout his life, particularly while his mother was alive. He was always welcomed with open arms by his friends and associated in the city of his birth, Dublin.

The information on my families is the result of years of research which has fortunately included
travel to England, Ireland and other Australian States. Many Libraries, Record Offices, Cemeteries in
the cities, towns and villages of our ancestors were visited with enthusiasm. There were many long
hours without any result, only to be surprised at where another line leads.
Family who have helped over the years include the recollections of my late father, aunts Evelyn and
the late Sr. M Madeleine, 2nd cousin Min Wright and the research of the late Colleen Thompson and
her extensive DOOHAN/SCANLON tree.
We still have much work to do as there are many missing pieces to the puzzle of our ancestors lives.

"Moyvane in Kerry was called Newtown Sands prior to 1922.My grandmother Mary Mulvihill,was
born in Moyvane in 1863, married Patrick Stack who was born in Co. Wexford but raised in Kerry in
Chicago in 1882. Any connection?"

Jim is also talking about a Mulvihill/Dineen marriage I see all over the Trib papers:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/stack/messages/358.html
"The Mrs. Stack you refer to in your note is my grandmother, and the stepsisters you name are her
halfsisters. Her parents were Cornelius Mulvihill and Bridgid Dineen,whom he married after Nora
Cunningham died. There were three children with Nora and ten with Bridgid all born on a farm just
outside Moyvane, Co.Kerry. Cornelius' greatgrandson is still farming it, only he is now the owner not
a tenant farmer as was my great grandfather. I have information on the Chicago relatives as well as
the Irish cousins. If you are interested, my e-mail address is JamesColgan@aol.com. Please contact

Brian Stack Murder
But Brian never got the chance to test his theory, or reveal what he knew, because someone singled
him out and shot him in the back of the neck outside the National Boxing Stadium in Dublin on
March 25, 1983. What is particularly heartbreaking about the murder of this brave servant of the
State is that he did not die immediately, but lived for another 554 days, brain damaged, paralysed, in
need of 24-hour care, before he died from pneumonia on September 29, 1984.
For more than 20 years, not one minister for justice called to visit Brian Stack's widow Sheila, or her
three sons, Austin, Kieran and Oliver. Not one senior garda contacted them to discuss the murder
file, which until recently was effectively left to gather dust. But now, largely thanks to the recent
agitation by the Stack family, the long-term paralysis of the State in re- investigating Brian Stack's
murder seems to have lifted.

Some of the most experienced gardai in the country have recently been examining the case, meeting
with the Stack family and showing real desire to bring the killers to justice. The Stack family were
invited to meet with previous justice minister Brian Lenihan, and they now want to sit down with the
current minister Dermot Ahern.
There's a momentum to the case, which is making the guilty feel very uncomfortable, and at the very
least isn't that a good thing? The Sunday Independent is right to shine a light on the unsolved
murder of Brian Stack. I believe Irish journalists can do a lot to keep up the pressure, and help solve
the murder of a man gunned down while trying to make Ireland a safer place in which to live.
The fee for this article will be given to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire, where
Brian Stack received great care after being shot by cowards who hopefully are not sleeping too
soundly these days.

STACK, STAK, STAKE * *THE EARLY STACK FAMILIES IN COUNTY KERRY viz.
In 1286 the Stack family Anglo-Normans originally came from England. In the first part of the
fourteenth century and by the 16th century they were completely Irish, being among the foremost

Kerry adversaries to English. They were from the FitzGeralds, allies of the Fitzmaurices, lords and
knights of Kerry. The Stacks of Crotta settled in Kilflynn in 1320 and expanded out of there building a
resident at Crotta. In fact the town of Kilflynn was known as Stackstown. Their association with the
area was further perpetuated by the Stack Mountains, which are situated between Tralee and
Abbeyfeal. This entire area around Crotta is known as Pubble (Probal) Stack or StackÂ’s country.
Their association with Clanmaurice is perpetuated in the Stack Mountains between Tralee and
Abbeyfeale and a district in the vicinity was long known as Pobble Stack or Stack's Country.

Setting the Potatoes
Good Friday was traditionally the day for setting the potatoes (for some reason we didn’t use the
very “sowing” for potatoes).
Here from the Schools’ Folklore Collection is an account of how it was done in 1938 in Beale.
Potato crop – preparation of the ground
We set potatoes at home. We usually set an acre or so of them. We set them in drills and ridges. If it
is on drills we set them the ground is ploughed once or twice and then harrowed and rolled to make
the earth fine. Then the drills are opened with a common plough. Then the manure is drawn out and
spread between the drills. Then bags of seed are brought to the garden and the neighbouring men
and women come to help spread the seed.
When the seed is spread the drills are finished with a plough-both manure and seed are covered by
splitting the drills. When they set them in ridges the manure is sometimes spread on lea ground and
some farmers wait until they mark the ridges. When the ridges are made the manure is spread on
them and three cuts are made in the breadth of the ridge to receive the seed. Now the earth on the
furrows must be made fine. This is done by a machine called a scuffler and by getting a horse to
draw a stone over the earth to make it fine. This fine earth is put up on the ridges with a spade and
this finishes the preparation of ground and the planting of the seed.

The list of people that you sent to me is my family, Ellen Shanahan, Stack, Gregory is my G G

Dillawn, or Dillon I forget the spelling and moved to Texas. I have communicated with both families

KNOCKANURE (COUNTY KERRY).
A very representative meeting of this branch was held on Sunday last—Mr. Robert Hunt, president,
occupied the chair. Others present—Messrs. T. J. O'Connor, treasurer ; J. T. O'Sullivan, P. R. Stack,
honorary secretaries; W. E. Stack, J. Leahy, Wm. Murphy, W. Moore, G. Stack, J. T. Leahy, J.
O'Connor, P. Collins, T. Kelly, T. Ahem, J. Fitzgerald, J. Goulding, J. Finucane. The chairman said—So
long as such virtuous exterminators as T. W. Sandes, of Sallowglin, and Mickey Fitzgerald, of Athea,
were at liberty to invade the parish with their crowbar brigade and level the houses of their
unfortunate victims—so long as the unholy head of the grabber of Cornelius O'Connor's evicted farm
appeared in their midst, so long there remained a necessity for that organisation which has brought

many a stubborn tyrant to his knees, and which will in the not distant future bring about the
abolition of that accursed system which has deprived many an Irishman of his home. When the time
came when there would be no necessity for a National League, he was sure that it would be one of
the pleasantest reminiscences of their lives that their branch could be numbered amongst the list of
Kerry branches which had fought the tyrannies of Balfourism in its last ditch, and which struggled to
the last for the freedom and regeneration of their country. A circular was read about the William
Moore Stack Testimonial. The chairman, in putting it before the meeting, said it was unnecessary for
him to recommend the subject of the circular to his fellow-parishioners. He was sure that Kerrymen
in general were well acquainted with the life and motives of Mr. Moore Stack. In days gone by, when
it was not fashionable to be a patriot, Mr. Moore Stack suffered imprisonment, and sacrificed the
emoluments of a high position in the cause of his country. He would say that no Irishman's heart
ever pulsated with deeper or truer love for its motherland than did the heart of William Moore
Stack. Now that he has been incapacitated from filling any office through ill-health, and known, as it
must be, by his fellow-countrymen, that had he adopted the policy of venal Irishmen, and proved a
traitor to the cause of his country, he could by this time have amassed that store which his stern and
uncompromising patriotism has denied him. It was unanimously agreed that collectors be appointed
for the various town lands in the parish to collect subscriptions in aid of the testimonial.
TARBERT (COUNTY KERRY).
Meeting on Sunday—Mr. Timothy O'Sullivan, president, in the chair. Amongst those present
were:—Messrs. J. Wallace, vice-president; John Lavery, treasurer; Gerald B. Fitzgibbon, hon. sec.;
Michael Stack, Timothy O'Brien, Denis Nash, &c. Resolved—" That we view with misgiving the
proposed Land Purchase Bill about to be introduced by Mr. Balfour."
KILGARVAN (county Kerry.)—Fortnightly meeting on Sunday —Mr. Daniel Healy, president, in the
chair. The committee as usual were strong in numbers. Resolved—" That we emphatically condemn
the action of the Tory Government, who have sought to blacken the character of the Irish nation and
its leaders." "That we thank that distinguished leader of the Liberal Party, Mr. W. E. Gladstone, and
his followers who are exposing the calumny of this foul and despicable conspiracy before the English
electors." "That we thank the electors of St. Pancras who have shown to the Tory Government that
fraud, forgery, and perjury won't satisfy the English people."
