Then at 3 a.m. on January 14, the few residents who had returned to their homes were awakened by klaxons and text messages telling them to flee. Another eruption had invaded the town. By the time it ended 60 or so hours later, several houses had been engulfed, but no one had died.
Grindavík’s residents owe their lives to proactive local authorities, emergency managers, and the study of Earth’s interior. Scientists had been tracking the movement of magma by decoding seismic waves and distortions in the planet’s crust. By mapping the peninsula’s volcanic plumbing, they’re building a better understanding of how volcanism works in general, while also aiming to provide even more precise local forecasts in the future.

If you, or someone you know, does not have access to all the advanced DNA features at MyHeritage, now is a great time to upload or re-upload your autosomal DNA there.
All these features are free forever for DNA data uploaded between now and some unspecified time on Sunday *15* October 2023 (one week later than the expiry date originally published).
Start at

This applies to many people who have purchased (or been gifted) swab kits directly from MyHeritage and were annoyed to discover that their purchase (or gift) did not include all the advanced DNA features provided for free to many others.
The workaround in this case (which worked for previous similar MyHeritage offers) is to download your data from MyHeritage, upload it to FamilyTreeDNA, download it again from FamilyTreeDNA, and upload it again to MyHeritage. Many people will have already done the first two steps. If not, the bonus is that you also get new matches at FTDNA and free access to the basic features there.

Event by Kilrush and District Historical Society, Paul O'Brien and Paddy Waldron
Teach Ceoil, Grace Street, Kilrush, County Clare V15 PD89
Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
The first KDHS lecture of 2024 will take place on Tuesday 27 February 2024 at 8p.m. in the Teach Ceoil in Kilrush.
Randel Hodkinson will give a richly illustrated lecture, entitled "God's Decorators: The story of J. Hodkinson and Sons, ecclesiastical decorators est. 1852".
Over the years, the Hodkinson firm worked on West Clare projects including submitting drawings and a design for the chapel in Kilrush Convent in 1924. They also designed the interior of old Kilmichael Church, and a number of other projects. The lecture will tell the story of the family business, established in 1852 and still going strong. Throughout its long existence, the Hodkinson family business has undertaken ecclesiastical decoration across the country. It was founded in 1852 by James Hodkinson (c1829-1916), a Manchester native who first moved to Cork and then to Limerick. Although James had set up his business in Manchester, he took the decision to move it to Ireland owing to the growing number of Irish commissions. James studied ecclesiastical decoration under the renowned architect and designer, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852), noted for his Gothic style. Pugin's most famous commission was the Palace of Westminster, London. When James moved to Limerick, he married Delia Kennedy, daughter of a merchant tailor of O'Connell Street and later Sarsfield Street. James and Delia had six surviving children, three daughters and three sons.
In the years after Catholic emancipation (1829), the church building business boomed, and it was in this scenario that J. Hodkinson and Sons was established. At its height, the firm had offices in Limerick, Cork, Dublin, and London and employed over 100 people. Approximately 3,000 churches, chapels, and cathedrals have been built in Ireland since about 1830, and J. Hodkinson and Sons has worked on most of these buildings including Longford Cathedral, the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin, Waterford Cathedral and St. Mary's in Cork.
The business is now under the stewardship of Randel Hodkinson and his two sons, James and Gerard, the fourth and fifth generations, respectively. The firm is the last remaining ecclesiastical decorators in Ireland.

I’ve hit a brick wall researching my great grandparents. Jeremiah Buckley (1871-1948) and Bridget O’Connor (1873-1940), both lived in Newtownsandes 1870s-1940s. They had three sons, John (Jack) Buckley (1903-1987) who remained in the village until he died in 1987, Maurice (my grandfather) (1911-1991)who moved to England and Jeremiah (1910-1999) who emigrated to New York.
Jeremiah (nicknamed Bob) married 'Katherine'in New York and had two sons, Jerrimiah (1938-1985) and Thomas Edwards (1944-1968)
Bridgets parents were John O Connor (born approx. 1826) and Kate/Catherine (born approx. 1838)
Any information on any of the above would be gratefully received as I’m struggling to find out anything from the usual sources !

Hello, My Great Grandfather was in the Highland Light Infantry during WW1. There are two soldiers in that regiment at the same time, one who ended up a prisoner of war, the other discharged with shell shock.
How can I find out which was my GGF ? All the records I've looked at so far do not contain a date of birth.
Thanks in advance.

McCarthy (Tralee), Bill Dillon (Glin), Ed. Finnucane (Newtownsandes), Jim Scanlan (Castleisland), Jack Kerins (Currow), Pat and Stephen O'Donnell (Tarbert). The team manager was Tom Galvin (Lispole).
Pearses: Ml. Sullivan (Capt.), J. Lynch, M. Keane, J. Moriarty, J. Keane, P. Keane, M. Lynch (all of Dingle), J. Sheehan (Tralee), J. McCarthy, J. O'Connell(Caherciveen), M. McKenna, A.

Tom Lyons
Greetings and Happy New Year! My name is Tom Lyons and I live in New York City. My grandfather, Michael J Lyons was born Feb 6, 1880 in Killomero, Ballylongford to James Lyons & Margaret Sullivan. He was the oldest of, to my knowledge, 5 siblings. The remaining were Bridget b.1881, Jeremiah b.1884, James b.1886 & Thomas b. 1888. Michael came to New York around 1900 where hi aunt, Ellen Sullivan, introduced him to Ellen Butler from Knockanure. They married in 1902 and went on to have 11 children. I see here in the Moyvane Newsletter the mention of a Dano Lyons and Linda Lyons. I’m curious to know if either of them, or anyone reading this, has any connection to or knows of descendants of the Lyons or Butler family? I appreciate your time and thank you in advance for any information you may provide!

Thank you Martin for taking the time to reply! Actually, the information I had came from the site you mentioned! It has helped me tremendously with my research. My interest was peaked when I saw the mention of a Dano Lyons & Linda Lyons in the newsletter. I know nothing of Michael’s siblings and was hoping to see that there were possibly descendants who still lived in the area. To my knowledge only Michael came to the States but not 100% sure. Again, thank you for your reply! Hopefully, after relocating from New York to Florida, I will have the opportunity to visit the area and walk the earth from where my roots are planted!

Con Shanahan
Hi
My great grandmother, Bridget Hoare (Hore) moved from North Kerry (possibly Moyvane) to Ballysteen, West Limerick along with her siblings during or shortly after the famine where she married my great grandfather Cornelius Shanahan in April 1858. Many years later, in 1905, her brother Simon Hoare was killed when he ‘fell from a common cart’ near Ballylongford on the Tarbert Road probably whilst visiting his relatives. The coroner’s report has not survived but a brief report of the accident was carried in a local newspaper. (All of the Simon’s children emigrated to the U.S. in the 1920’s). I have received information that there may be a connection between the Hoares and the Kearneys of Moyvane and would appreciate any information that might throw some light on this one way or the other.

I just found out through DNA and my own research that my Great Grandfather Daniel Burns was born in Moyvane in 1842. From what I found out, his Father was Michael Burns and his Mother was Mary Mcelligott ,
My Great Grandfather was married to Catherine Mannion. They left Ireland in the 1860s and settled in Baltimore Maryland USA and had 4 children,
There has to be some Burns’s left n Moyvane.

Hi Sheri, I wish you much success in your Nolan search. Perhaps we are connnected but I have nothing concrete to support this thought. I have hit a brick wall trying to find the original Irish County for my Nolans but so far I have found.... My GGrandfather William No(w)lan was born in 1862 in the townland of Drombeg, several kilometers north of Listowel. His parents were William Nolan and Mary Walsh. (Mary having both parents as Walsh and coming from the Tullabeg area of Nth Kerry) This William was born in India c. 1830 to a Dennis Nolan and Jenny Dowd. I can find no documents for these two but they are listed in the book "Northern NY - A Genealogical and family history of northern New York: a record of the achievements of her people," This has half a page about their son Father Dennis Nolan who was a priest for many years in Northern NY. In the Griffiths valuation in 1855 there was a Maurice Nolan residing in Drombeg. In 1853 William and Mary Walsh had married and their first son born in 1854 at Tullabeg, they named Maurice with Maurice Nolan being his sponsor. By 1856 their next son Dennis was born at Drombeg. I can find no death record for Maurice so maybe he allowed them to come and live with him in Drombeg, where they stayed til they both died in the early 1900's. In a branch of Mary Walsh's family (a cousin) there is a Thomas Walsh (born c. 1920's) and Catherine Mulvihil marriage. Some of their children went to America, Ottawa, Ill for sure. When we visited this area 2 years ago a local man who knew of my Nolan family told me that "word was that the Nolans came from Co.Cork". That was a suprise and i have not been able to go further back. But this same man told me of a family living in the area who where descended from my William and Mary.and this turned out to be true. I hope that you may also have a similar success. We found this local man by stopping and asking folk for directions to the townland of Drombeg and explaining I was searching for my ancestral home. People were so friendly and happy to help. Have you tried putting your query on the Co.Kerry rootsweb mailing list? Best Wishes Chris in NZ

Message: Hello. I recently came across an article referring to Newtownsandes and the Leahy family connections. I understand Fr. William Casey wrote a booklet about The Leahy family life & times in Abbeyfeale since their first ancestor left Tournafilla c.1796. I am a descendant of the Leahys and am tracing the family. I have had great sucess with the Australian side of things but have nothing to go on with the Irish descendants. I am wondering if anyone would know where I could find a copy of this booklet as the library in Abbeyfeale didn't have any record of it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rose
Also Murhur Churchyard
As far as I know, Johanna Kennelly of Newtownsandes (b. 1843?)
married Patrick Moore in Ireland. Their Children were Catherine,
Honorah Mary (my great-grandmother), Mary, Michael, and William.
Patrick Moore seems to have died in Ireland, whereupon the rest of
the family emigrated to the U.S. Here I have conflicting information
- it may have been 1872 or 1881, but the former is more likely. The
family came through Philadelphia and went to Pittsburgh, PA, later
moving to New York, which is where my family's from.

Catherine, here in the US. I do not know her maiden name. They had several children, one of which was my grandmother Anne Marie Stack. I do know that my great grandfather worked as a conductor
for an orchestra and he could play several instruments. He also had 2 artificial legs from being run over by a train. I am looking for his birth date and place and any other information that
anyone might have. Thank you.

Hi...don't know if your GGGrandmother was from Listowel in Kerry at all, but my nan and grandad were Margaret (Peggy) Mulvhill and John (Jack) Stack from this area. They grew up together,
emigrated to England separately in the early 1930s and although my grandad died before I was born so I never knew him, my nan often talks about the number of marriages there were between the two
families - one of which was between her great aunt Ellen and his great uncle John.

I am looking for anyone with information on the Stacks in Listowel co. Kerry. I have seen a few posts on here about Listowel so am wondering if there are any of my relations on this board? My
grandfather was John (Jack) Stack and my grandmother was his younger sister Mary's best friend, Margaret (Peggy) Mulvhill. They emigrated to England separately both around the mid to late 1930s
and when they met again and married they settled in Paddignton, London where my nan still lives (my grandad died of a heart attack in 1980, five years before I was born). I am 18 years old and
have just recently started researching my family tree so I am looking for more information on my grandfather's family. I knew 4 of his brothers - Jerry, who was the youngest, lived with my nan as
a lodger until he died of cancer and emphysema in 1997 and since I never knew my grandad he adopted the role, so we were very close - Ned moved to America (The Bronx, NYC) about two years before
my grandad left Ireland and died there (I think it was about 12 years ago but I'm not entirely sure) - Dan also emigrated to England and became a priest for many years until he died in 2000 of
Alzheimer's disease - Jet lived in Kerry his whole life and was well known in the local area for being a bachelor and having no less that 12 cats at any given time!!! I believe he also had
another brother (name unknown) who moved to Australia when my grandad was very young. His sister Mary whom I previously mentioned emigrated to America and is still living but we have lost contact
with her for about ten years, she was last known to be living in Queens, NY.
This is pretty much all the information I have on them right now...if anyone feels they might know something of the family, I have photos I can send out of my grandad, Dad, Jet and Jerry and also of the Mulvhill side of my family if you have any info on them.
Many thanks in advance,

My ancestors as far as I know came
from Moyvanne (Newtownsandes) and Ballylongford. Thomas's death certificate says Newtownsandes, but his shipping
record says that he came from Muher. From the information in the Voice, it seems that most of the Mulvihill clan came
from Roscommon. I hope you can help me with my research in some way.
I do have some information regarding Thomas and Johanna, but as yet most of it is unconfirmed, but I will include it here.
Thomas Mulvihill b. 18 May 1830 and christened at Roman Catholic Church in Moyvanne, 31 May 1830.
He died on 26 Jun 1915 in Tumut NSW Australia. His father was Michael Mulvihill and mother Ellen Connell.
Also born were Joanna Mulvihill b. 1832, Michael Mulvihill 1835, Johanna Mulvihill b. 1838 and Patrick Mulvihill b.
1841. I know Patrick was born in Kilbaha, Johanna and Patrick both came to Australia and settled in Tumut as well with
Thomas.
I have a handwritten transcript of Thomas and Johanna's marriage which took place in Alderney, Guernsey, Channel Isles
England in 1855, on which they stated that Thomas's father was deceased. Thomas and Johanna arrived in Australia in
1857. They departed from Southampton Dec 1856 on the Mary Ann.

I'm interested in this song and always believed that it was written by Bryan MacMahon (Tim Leahy wrote yet another version). However, on the Peggy Sweeney DVD "Kerry: A Kingdom of Song",
authorship is credited to Kiely O'Mahony of Athea. Does anyone know anything abour Mr. O'Mahony (dates, etc)

hello.
I'm stumped and don't know where to go from here in my research. I'll tell you what I have and if anyone could "tell me where to go" ;) from here that would be great.
I'm trying to find information on my great-grandfather, Maurice Mahoney, b. Oct 17, 1873, rumored possibly in Kerry.
I know he married Margaret Connor in Winchendon, MA 1904, at 25 years of age
From that certificate I know that his parents were James and Bridget (Enright) Mahoney, both born in Ireland.
(Margaret Connor, b. 1882 Winchendon, MA dau. of Patrick and Ellen (Cahill) Connor--but that's another posting ;) )
On familysearch.org, I found an Edward Mahoney, also in Winchendon, (m. 1898, d. 1903), with the same parents' names. Winchendon is a small town *now*, so I find it hard to imagine that there would be two men in that town at the same time with the same parents names.. unless they were brothers.
On Ancestry.com I found a Maurice "Mahony" that emmigrated to Winchendon, in 1902, at 23 years of age, to visit his sister "Annie" on Cross St. (This would be the right age to have married Margaret at 25 two years later. ) And the 1900 Winchendon census lists a child of Edward and Minnie as "Annie". It also says that the "place of last residence" was "Newtownsande". Is that a town in Kerry?
Thanks to help from good folks on another list, I have Maurice's draft card, and cencus listings for 1910, 1920, and 1930. The 1930 census has a "2" in a circle under the colum headed "year of immigration to the United States". This could be 1902- which makes me suspect the passanger list I found is the right person.
I don't know where to go from here to find any more information on Maurice. I don't know if James and Bridget ever emmigrated. I was hoping to find a birth certificate for Maurice.
Any help would be great. Unfortunately, I work *a lot* (and far away from a computer), and cannot spend nearly as much time on this as I would like.
thanks,
Katie

The Vales of New Dirreen
Fare well, fare well, my native land farewell forever more,
I now must leave you far behind and seek a foreign shore,
For very soon the ocean wide between us will intervene,
In that dear old home its mine no more, in the vales of New Direen.
At home in dear old Ireland I fain for ever would stay,
But fate it has compelled for to wander far away,
From these native hills and valleys fair where blooms the shamrock green
In that dear old home its mine no more in the Vales of New Dirreen
In cold dark waves and Saxon lands we have known great joys and woes
And in that far off ocean wide where the stately Hudson flows
In Ireland too we have cherished hopes but seas are placed between
From that dear old home its mine no more in the Vales of New Dirreen
The sandowen seas I have crossed before and sought a foreign strand
But still I thought I soon would see again my native land
Its like John Mitchell in his cell where something tells unseen
Which makes me roam from my dear old home in the Vales of New Dirreen
When last I looked upon that place it was with a mournful eye
The tears fell trickling down my face and loudly I did cry
The pale of night it soon came down and that was the last I had Seen
of my dear old home its mine no more in Vales of New Dirreen
Now to Conclude those enfin lines fearing I should be late
The Mourning Train from Adagh starts at twenty five past eight
O God be with you Ireland your the starlight ocean Qeen
And a Fond farewell to all who dwell in the Vales of New Dirreen.

It was named the Airspeed Viceroy.
The Airspeed Viceroy started the race from RAF Mildenhall, England, but after several reliability problems including with the mainwheel brakes, it was withdrawn from the race at Athens. The pilots concluded that it would be unsafe to proceed and they would probably be unable to finish the race.

Obituary: Air Chief Marshal Sir Neville Stack
HENRY PROBERT
Saturday, 29 January 1994
Thomas Neville Stack, air force officer: born Sidcup, Kent 19 October 1919; served North Atlantic 1939-45; Coastal Command 1945-52; Transport Support in Far East (Malaya Ops) 1954-59, (Borneo Ops) 1962-65; AFC 1957; Deputy Captain, Queen's Flight 1960- 62; CVO 1963; CBE 1965; Commandant, RAF College Cranwell 1967-70; CB 1969, KCB 1972; UK Permanent Military Deputy, Cento, Ankara 1970- 72; AOC-in-C, RAF Training Command 1973-75; Air Secretary 1976-78; Air ADC to the Queen 1976-78, Gentleman Usher to the Queen 1979-89, Extra Gentleman Usher 1989-94; Director-General, Asbestos International Association 1978-89; married 1955 Diana Todd (one son, one daughter); died London 26 January 1994.
NEVILLE STACK was one of that select band of pre-war Cranwell- trained officers who survived the Second World War and later rose to the highest ranks of the Royal Air Force. Essentially a maritime aviator, he was rarely involved in
policy-making but made his mark in several important operational appointments and subsequently as a key figure in RAF training.
Born at Sidcup, in 1919, 'Jimmy' Stack was the son of an air pioneer who set up several long-distance records. He entered the RAF College Cranwell as a flight cadet in 1937, and on graduating in 1939 was awarded the Sword of Honour. He was immediately selected for Coastal Command where he spent most of the war piloting one of the great instruments of victory in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Sunderland flying boat. Serving with 201 and 204 Squadrons and with 2 School of General Reconnaissance he flew from bases as far apart as the Shetlands and West Africa, yet on his own admission never saw a U- boat. Such unspectacular, tedious but always demanding patrolling was the lot of most Coastal Command crews, and it was essential in combating the U-boat peril, described by Churchill as the only thing that really frightened him during the war.
For several years afterwards, Stack remained in the maritime role, serving on the staff at Headquarters Coastal Command and also as Chief RAF Instructor at the Joint Anti-submarine School, Londonderry. Here, working alongside the Royal Navy and often flying the Lancaster, he helped develop the techniques and tactics so necessary to counter the rapidly developing Soviet submarine threat.
In 1954 came a change of scene when he was appointed to command the Far East Transport Wing, based in Singapore at Changi. Here the main task of his Dakota and Valetta squadrons was to support the army's counter-insurgency operations in Malaya by providing communications, dropping and landing supplies, delivering leaflets and evacuating casualties. The eventual success of the long Malayan campaign owed much to air transport, and for Stack's own part during his two-year stint he was awarded the Air Force Cross in 1957.
This experience was now put to use at Headquarters Transport Command, where he worked with the Parachute Brigade and the Air Transported Brigade on mobile operations. In 1958, following the assassination in Iraq of King Faisal, he commanded the transport forces in Cyprus which delivered the Parachute Brigade to Jordan in order to protect King Hussein.
Three years later, after a spell as Deputy Captain of the Queen's Flight serving under Sir Edward Fielden, he returned to the Far East for his last operational appointment. He served as senior Air Staff Officer at headquarters 224 Group, based at Seletar, for the first two years of the Confrontation between Malaysia and Indonesia. His group was responsible for the air support of the British troops seeking to protect the Borneo territories against Indonesian incursions, and air supply - with helicopters of particular importance - was central to their operations. Indonesian Confrontation was a classic example of the careful application of limited force and the subsequent pattern of events in South-East Asia owes much to its success.
Stack was back home by 1965, served a period at Flying Training Command, and in 1967 - to his delight - returned to Cranwell as Commandant, a post for which his relaxed, extrovert personality was especially suited. It was his diplomatic skills that were used next, when he went to Ankara in 1970 as United Kingdom Permanent Military Deputy to the Central Treaty Organisation and had to cope with the politico-military problems of a major international alliance.
There followed three years as Commander-in-Chief of Training Command, where he was responsible for all aspects of RAF training, and from 1976 until his retirement in 1978 he was the last four-star incumbent of the post of Air Secretary, in which he oversaw the careers of all RAF officers. This was a post for which his long and varied RAF experience and his ability to get on with people were eminently suitable.
On retirement he became Director General of the Asbestos International Association but always found time to retain his links with the Service, particularly as an enthusiastic and influential President of the Old Cranwellians' Association.
The RAF will remember him for his dignified bearing; his gentle yet effective style of leadership; his great personal charm; his approachability; his kindness. It was always a pleasure to be in his company.
Michael in Nova Scotia,
I'm also researching the Keane name. I have a letter sent to my grandmother
after her mother, Mary Margaret Hanrahan Hively (who was born in No. Kerry,
Tarbert Ireland) passed away in Nashville, TN. The letter was from a sister
or an aunt of Mary. The names in the letter were Mrs. Dan Keane-Aunt Hannie
from Knochanvue and Mrs. Y. Keane-Aunt Kate from Newtownsandes. An Aunt Lon,
Mrs. Kennelly also from Newtownsandes was also mentioned. I'm getting a
scanner soon and will place on this site for all to read. It is a jewel and
I am so glad it was kept all these many years--since 1940's!
Does anyone have any connection to any of these Keanes?
I've recently ordered from Amazon.com two books written by John B. Keane of
No. Kerry, the writer who now ownes a pub. Thanks, Mimi

expressing sympathy over her death.Trying to find out how they were related to Mary Margaret but guessing theywere sisters or Aunts. Aunt Hannie, Mrs. Dan Keane who lived at CavuevaghKnochanvue,

MERCY CONVENT, ABBEYFEALE.
The grand and imposing ceremony of the religious profession of two young ladies of this parish, and the reception of a third from the parish of Athea, took place here on Wednesday last. The Lord
Bishop of the diocese, the Most Rev. Dr. Butler, assisted by the Rev. William Casey, C.C., Abbeyfeale, said Mass on the occasion, after which the postulant put off the gay attire of the world and
was clothed like her two happy companions in the modest garments of the meek, gentle Sister of mercy, and thus became vested in the humble garb of religion. The three happy aspirants after
evangelical perfection resolved to become spouses of Christ and imitators of Mary-to devote the remainder of their days to the education of youthful innocents, to bring them up in the ways of
usefulness, virtue and religion-to be in reality Sisters of Mercy, by soothing the anguish of disease, ministering to the cravings of want, and cheering, by their holy presence, the last moments
of suffering humanity. The names of the young ladies professed were Miss Lizzie Broderick, in religion Sister Mary Joseph, third daughter now professed in that Mercy Convent of William P.
Broderick, Esq., Abbeyfeale, and niece of John P. Broderick, Esq., solicitor, Tralee, and Miss Ellie Curtin, in religion Sister Mary Gonzaga, third daughter of the late John Curtin, Esq.,
Ballybehy, and sister of C. J. Curtin, Esq., solicitor, Abbeyfeale.
The young lady who received the white veil was Miss Sheehy, daughter of Edward Sheehy. Esq., Cratloe. After the ceremony his lordship and the accompanying clergymen, with the numerous friends of
the above ladies, retired to a grand and spacious room, tastefully prepared and exquisitely decorated by the good sisters of the community, where a sumptuous dejeuner awaited them. Amongst the
assembled guests were-his Lordship the Bishop of Limerick, the very Rev. Dr. Coughlan, P.P., Abbeyfeale ; Rev. Wm. Mulcahy, C.C., do. ; the Rev. Dr. Greene, C.C., Coolcappa ; Rev. Father Conway,
C.C., Templeglentue ; Rev. Father Condatt, C.C., Athea ; A. Toole, Esq., Dublin ; Miss Ellis, Windsor, England ; Miss Lizzie Ellis, Glenas, Rone House ; Miss Diana Creagh Harnett, Moynaha,

SHINE ENRIGHT
WILLIAM SHINE, who is living in retirement at No. 923,
Church street, Indianapolis, was born in county Limerick,
Ireland, about 1833, a son of Cornelius and Ellen (Enright) Shine
— the Shine family tracing their lineage to France. Cornelius and
Ellen Shine passed the greater part of their lives in their native
county of Limerick, although they died in county Kerry. They
reared a large and respected family, named, in order of birth, as
follows: David, William, Michael, Cornelius, Margaret, Ellen, and
Johanna. These children all still live in Ireland, with the excep-
tion of William, whose name opens this paragraph, Margaret, who
died in her native parish, and Johanna, who died in Kansas City,
Mo., all good and true Catholics.
\\'illiam Shine was married in his native county, in February,
1 86 1, by Rev. Father Morochty, in the parish of Knockanure, to
Miss Bridget Sullivan, a daughter of Eugene and Katherine
(Connell) Sullivan, natives of the western part of county Kerry,
Ireland, and who died on the farm on which they had passed all-
their life. They were the parents of si.x children, Mrs. Shine bemg
the eldest, and the others being named Mary, Thomas-, John, Eugene,
and Thomas (second). The sons all passed away in Ireland, and
the daughter, May, is now Mrs. Daniel McCarty, of Indianapolis.
The marriage of Mr. and Mr. William Shine was blessed with
thirteeen children, whose names are all given in the sketch of
of John W. Shine.
William Shine had been preceded to America by his son, Johiv
W^, and a daughter of about two years, and in 1886 he disposed
of his lease on the farm in Ireland and brought the remainder of
his family to Indianapolis, where he has prospered and now owns
considerable real estate. The family are all members of St. John's
church, and the parents are also members of the church sodalities,
Mrs Shine being also a member of the league of the Sacred Heart,
and the daughter, at home, a member of the Young Ladies"
CATHOLIC CHURCH OF INDIANA.
sodality. No family in the parish is held in higher respect, and
personally Mr. and Mrs Shine are especially esteemed for their
many christian virtues.
JOHN W. SHINE, patrolman, and one of the most efficient
members of the Indianapolis police force, was born in the par-
ish of Knockanure, county Kerry, Ireland, June 24, 1864, and is a
son of William and Bridget (Sullivan) Shine, both natives of the
same county.
William Shine was a farmer in the old country, but on com-
ing to America, in 1886, entered the employ of the Indianapolis
Belt Railroad company, with which he remained six years, and
then retired. He and wife had born to them a family of thirteen
children, of whom nine still survive and reside in Indianapolis, viz:
Mrs. Mary Mulehill; Cornelius, employed at Kingan's packing-
house; William, a bartender; Thomas, an upholsterer; Katie, a
dressmaker; Michael, a porkpacker; Eugene, a sawmaker, and
Maggie, a student, beside John W. , the subject, who is the eldest.
John W. Shine passed his earlier business years in the employ
of John Stack, a member of parliament and a dry-goods merchant
in the town of Listowell, county Kerry, Ireland. He preceded
his family two years to America, and for one year worked for D.
J. Sullivan, a dry-goods merchant of Indianapolis, and was then,
for six years, steward in the dining-room of the Central Insane
hospital of Indiana, having under his charge about 500 patients.
He was next employed for two years as assistant superintendent
of the Prudential Life Insurance company. During the two terms
that Mayor Sullivan was at the head of the city administration,
Mr. Shine was a foreman on street work, and December i, 1897,
was appointed a member of the city police force.
Mr. Shine was united in marriage April 17, 1888, at St. John's
church, by Rev. Father Bessonies, to Miss Katie Sheridan, a
native of county Cavan, Ireland, and a daughter of Bernard and
Kate (Maher) Sheridan, who also had one son, Michael, who
served sixteen years in the British army. Mr. and Mrs. Shine
have been blessed with two children, viz: William, who was born
71269)
March 26, 1889, and Katie, born October 12, 1S91. The family
are devout members of St. John's church, contribute hberallv
toward its support, and poHtically Mr. Shine is a sound-monev
democrat. He is a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and was a charter member of the Celtic club. Mrs. Shine is a
member of the Ladies' Auxihary society of the A. O. H., and both
he and she are greatly respected by a large number of sincere
friends.
MICHAEL FRANCIS KENNEDY, deceased, was born in
Cambridge City, Wayne county, Ind., October 25, 1870, a
son of Martin and Mary (Dillon) Kennedy, highly respected resi-
dents of the same ciiy, but natives of county Kerry, Ireland.
Michael Francis, the deceased subject of this memoir, was educated
primarily in the public schools of his native city, later passed one
year at St. Meinrad's college, and still later studied two years
under the private tutorage of Rev. Father Spelman, and was by
him so well instructed that, on entering St. Charles college at
Baltimore, Md., he was assigned to the second (or sophomore)
class, or, in other words, advanced one class higher than the first
(or freshman) class. \N'hile pursuing his studies at St. Charles, and
in his senior, or graduating class, he was called away from earth,
a victim of that insidious and fell disorder, consumption, and died.
MICHAEL LAHEY, deceased, was born in county Kerry, Ire-
land, in 1852, and came to the United States in his young
manhood. On June 14, 1868, he was married at St. John's Cath-
olic church, by Rev. Father Bessonies, to Miss Hannah Neenan,
also a native of county Kerry, and a daughter of John and Mary
(Davis) Neenan, both natives of the same county in which they
lived and died, being at the time of their death about sixty years
of age. Mr. and Mrs. Neenan were the parents of eight children:
Bridget, wife of John Rice, residing in Indianapolis; Hannah, who
married the subject of this sketch; Annie, widow of Patrick Cro-
nin, who died of yellow fever, is now residing in Memphis, Tenn. ;
Margaret, wife of James Mahoney, still lives in Ireland, where she
has a family of grown-up children; Nora, wife of Patrick Harvey,
resides in Memphis, Tenn. ; Timothy left Indianapolis about ten
years ago and has not been since heard from; Bartholomew, who
came from Ireland to the United States and located in Memphis,
Tenn. , with the view of locating there permanently, is unmarried.
CATHOLIC CHURCH OF INDIANA.
Michael Lahey was a shoemaker by trade, and at this trade
he worked from his manhood until his death, which event occurred
in 1890. Timothy Lahey, a brother of the subject, and a laborer,
now resides on Georgia street, in Indianapolis. Michael and
Hannah Lahey were the parents of the following-named children,
viz: Timothy, now employed at Kingan's packing house, and liv-
ing with his mother; Mary, now Mrs. Wilbur Ryan, and living in
Elmira, N. Y. ; Kate, living at home; Johnny died at the age of six
3ears, and Johnny, the second, died at the age of nine months;
Hannah, and Bridget, the latter deceased. The family has always
been in Indianapolis, and most of the time of their residence here
have been members of St. John's Catholic church, to the support of
which, Mr. Lahey, while living, was a liberal contributor. He died
as he had lived, a devout Catholic, and highly respected by all that
knew him. While not a wealthy man at the time of his death, yet
he left his family in comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Lahey and
her children are all active workers in their church, and for the
cause of Catholicism, she being a member of the Living Rosary
society and of the Sacred Heart. Mr. Lahey was a member of
St. Patrick's Total Abstinence society, and Timothy is a member
of the Young Men's institute. Timothy Lahey is a 3'oung man of
excellent character, industrious, frugal and studious, and, being
