1. [IGW] Irish American newspaper, January 22, 1894 - Limerick [1]
>From Another Irish List -- LIMERICK On January 2d Judge Purcell took his seat in the Crown Court, Limerick, and opened the city business of the Quarter Sessions. The Grand Jury having been sworn, he addressed them, saying he was happy to tell them that there was nothing for them to do, as there was only one case standing over from last sessions, but as an important witness could not be found it would not come before them. Mr. Patrick Kenna, T.C., the newly-appointed City High Sheriff, then presen
2. [IGW] "At The Fishhouses" - Elizabeth BISHOP (b. 1911, Worcester, MA) [1]
This poem by Pulitzer prize-winning poet, Elizabeth BISHOP, born in Worcester, MA, apparently is about the Atlantic and the Canadian coast and no doubt part of the life of many immigrants. AT THE FISHHOUSES Although it is a cold evening, down by one of the fishhouses an old man sits netting, his net, in the gloaming almost invisible, a dark purple-brown, and his shuttle worn and polished. The air smells so strong of codfish it makes one's nose run and one's eyes water. The five fishouses have steeply pea
3. [IGW] MEMORY LANE - Peter KELLY/ Warrington, England (AYRES/BUMPSTEAD) [1]
MEMORY LANE: There is a 1948 photo of little Peter KELLY, his childhood friend, Tommy AYRES, Tommy's smiling father holding an AYRES infant (or perhaps even KELLY's own baby brother, Geoff), in the November 1998 issue of the "Best of British - Past & Present" magazine. It was that creased and grubby old snapshot that brought back memories and a desire on Mr. KELLY's part to revisit 50 years later the street and house where he had lived for six of his formative years. When Peter was a small boy, he li

5. [IGW] Ballina Chronicle; June 20, 1849 - Famine/Emigration/Other -- ATKINSON/RYAN/BROWNE/SULLIVAN/MAGINNESS/HAMILTON/OSBORNE/GODOLPIN [1]
I hope you find these old newspaper accounts as fascinating as I do. Forwarded with permission: BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, June 20, 1849 WHAT ARE OUR PROSPECTS? We are near crisis. A few more days will, in all human probability, tell the story of our prospects for the ensuing year. We are now in that state of suspense about the potato crop which must force upon us the anticipation of ourwretched condition in case of another failure. Who can contemplate the future without deep
6. [IGW] ACW/Walt WHITMAN -- Irish nurse "takes wasted boys tenderly up in her arms." [1]
Literary great Walt WHITMAN wrote movingly about his experiences serving as a volunteer in hospitals during the American Civil War, comforting the wounded in any way that he could. He saw President Abraham LINCOLN on occasion, remarking on his "tired, gaunt, seamed face," and wrote about the nation's shock at LINCOLN's murder on 14 April 1865, while attending a play just days following the war's end. WHITMAN composed many fine poems about the Civil War, Lincoln's death, and he also made notations abou
7. [IGW] Ancient Celtic Poetry -- Translated by KINSELLA/MEYER/O'CONNOR [1]
EPITAPH FOR CU CHUIMNE Anonymous (c. 700) Translated by Thomas Kinsella Cu Chuimne in his youth studied half the truth, then turned from the second half and studied women. With the fullness of years he developed wisdom, and turned away from women to complete his studies. THE FORT OF RATHANGAN Anonymous (c. 700) Translated by Kuno Meyer The fort against the oak-wood Once it was Bruidge's, it was Cathal's, It was Aed's, it was Ailill's, It was Conaing's, it was Cuiline's, And it was Maelduin's; The fort r
8. [IGW] Philip KEARNY (1814-1862) - A Brave Soldier [1]
BIO: Philip KEARNY (pronounced KAHR nee) was an American and Union general. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he became a brigadier general of NJ volunteers. He served in all the important battles in the Eastern theater and rose to major general and division commander. He was killed on 1 Sept 1862, at the Battle of Chantilly, in VA. KEARNY was born in NYC. In 1833, he was graduated from Columbia College (now Columbia University). His wealthy family opposed his desire to be a soldier, but he secure
9. [IGW] FORDE/FORD/GEORGE/SAUNDERS/CRUNDWELL/JONES/CARTER/SMITH [1]
Posting My Surname Interests Again -- My redheaded Irish Catholic Patrick & son Michael FORDE/FORD, apparently from Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, Ireland. Who was Patrick FORDE/FORD's wife? Who were his siblings? Need other Irish surname to advance my research. Have some good possibilities but need something definite! Patrick's son Michael FORDE born late 1863/early 1864 in Ireland emigrated to Liverpool, apparently dropped the "E" in his surname, married Liverpudlian Sarah Ann GEORGE, raised large family
10. [IGW] "A Sussex Sonnet" -- Joyce EVA (contemp.) [1]
A poem for the English on the list -- A SUSSEX SONNET So clearly I remember Beachy Head, The giant white chalk cliff above the sea, Where many foreign footsteps softly tread 'Mongst daisies flushed with thrift on grassy lea. And anchored in the Channel far below A lighthouse flashing warnings to the fleet: Don't come too close where rollers ebb and flow, Should razor-sharpened rocks by chance you meet. Look inland to the beautiful South Downs, Where cottages of thatch and golden grain Make patchwork quilt
11. [IGW] "Snow Morning" -- Mary GUCKIAN (contemp.) [1]
SNOW MORNING I walk to work along Shelbourne Road, after the Christmas holiday. Inches of snow cover over the gardens; on the trees each branch looks like a stroke of artist's white paint, and lilies laden with delicate meringues form fairy designs. Bunches of red fruit on the cotoneaster give a warm glow to the cold day. Hedges, stifled from constant trimming, bear spheres of whiteness, squashed into the tight branches; the grass is covered in a cotton carpet, and sleet drops mark out a pattern, reminding

16. [IGW] "Shancoduff" -- Monaghan's Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967) [1]
SHANCODUFF My black hills have never seen the sun rising, Eternally they look north towards Armagh. Lot's wife would not be salt if she had been Incurious as my black hills that are happy When dawn whitens Glassdrummond chapel. My hills hoard the bright shillings of March While the sun searches in every pocket. They are my Alps and I have climbed the Matterhorn With a sheaf of hay for three perishing calves In the field under the Big Forth of Rocksavage. The sleety winds fondle the rusty beards of Shanco
17. [IGW] Pardon for Murder [1]
Pardon of Owen NOLLAN, of Neweston, in the county of Carlow, horseman, for the murder of Symon O'Doyle. May 1, 1546 from the Patent and Close Rolls.
18. [IGW] "A White Rose" - John Boyle O'REILLY (1844-1890) [1]
A WHITE ROSE The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; Oh, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud, With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips. -- John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)
19. [IGW] "At A Potato Digging" -- Derry's Seamus HEANEY (Contemp.) [1]
AT A POTATO DIGGING I A mechanical digger wrecks the drill, Spins up a dark shower of roots and mould. Labourers swarm in behind, stoop to fill Wicker creels. Fingers go dead in the cold. Like crows attacking crow-black fields, they stretch A higgledy line from hedge to headland; Some pairs keep breaking ragged ranks to fetch A full creel to the pit and straighten, stand Tall for a moment but soon stumble back To fish a new load from the crumbled surf. Heads bow, trunks bend, hands fumble towards the bl
20. [IGW] The Indian Chiefs from Tipperary - TRECY, O'KEEFE, HARNEY [1]
Co. Tipperary - The Brule tribe was a branch of the Sioux Nation, a group that lived in SD and who, before the arrival of European settlers, led a peaceful existence. Regrettably, however, relations between the Brules and their new neighbors became strained and marked by frequent skirmishes. In 1855, in response to a Brule robbery that ended in the deaths of three white men, General William HARNEY, known to the Native Americans as "White Whiskers Harney," led a punitive expedition against the tribe, killi
21. [IGW] "Old Hickory" - Andrew JACKSON 1767-1845 - Tough and Tenacious [1]
BIO: While there continues to be some question as to exactly where former US President Andrew JACKSON was born, NC or SC, the life of this unpolished individual with rough frontier manners and a hair-trigger temper would have the positively Irish quality of tragedy and triumph. Andrew's Scotch-Irish parents, a poor farm couple, and their first two sons Hugh and Robert apparently left Ireland in 1765, settling in the Carolinas because so many other Protestant Irish immigrants lived there. Jackson neve
22. [IGW] Pardon for Murder [1]

23. [IGW] BIO: Sr. Mary Erigina KELLY -- Daley, Clark, O'Reilly, O'Brien, Dunn, Lombardi [1]
BIO: In 1996, Sr. Mary Erginia celebrated her 107th birthday, but her memory reached backed to pre-Famine Ireland through the stories told her by her great-grandmonther, Honora Kelly, who as a 30-year-old widow escaped the Great Hunger and brought her seven children to Chicago in 1849. Sr. Erigina lived with her great-grandmother and remembered her well. "She wore a white fluted bonnet and smoked a clay pipe," she said. "One or other of the children was always knocking it to the floor. It would shatter
