THOUGHT: Keep a diary of the little things your partner does that you’re grateful for, read it the next time you feel like criticising them.
BOOKS: The little library functions as basically just a neighbourhood book exchange. The idea is that someone will take a book that piques their interest, and sometime in the future return either that book, or a totally different one. http://littlefreelibrary.org/
WILLIAM FITZGERALD of Lahardin, Co. Clare and Moyvane, Co. Kerry and had issue: 1. Thomas, Lieutenant, 40th Madras Native Infantry, b. 19 Jan 1804 at Kilmanaheen, Co. Clare, served at Coorg 1834, d. unmarried 11 Jul 1834 at Ootacamund. 2. George, b. 1805, d. 1812.
FROM: The Times 12th July 1879
We have to record the death of Captain Stacpoole, M.P. for Ennis, which occurred on Thursday night at his residence, Carlisle-square, Chelsea. The hon. member had been ailing only a few days. Captaoin Stacpoole was the eldest son of Mr. Andrew Stacpoole, of Ballyalla, county Clare, by his marriage with Diana, daughter of Mr. D. Finucane, of Stamer-park, in the same county, was born in the year 1830, and was educated at Cheltenham College and at Trinity College, Dublin. He was for some years a Captain of the Clare Militia, and also a magistrate for that county, but about seven years ago was “superseded” in the commission of the peace at his own request. He had sat for Ennis in the Home Rule interest for upwards of 19 years. Captain Stacpoole married Miss Mary Ann Catharine Winifred Hennessy, eldest daughter of Mr. Charles Hennessy, of Leamington, Warwickshire. His death causes, of course, a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Ennis.
DEATH: The Times 16th September 1980. Mr. Edmund Painter Stacpoole, CBE, who died recently at the age of 78, deserves tribute for the selfless and matchless service he gave to Britain’s parliament, government and press as the Lobby correspondent of the Press Association for 30 years.
He joined the PA from the Southend Times in 1924 and was sent to Westminster in 1936. From then until his retirement after the general election of 1966 he carried the immense burden of that job day and night, serving morning and evening papers, entirely on his own. Never once during those years of receiving non-attributable briefings and private confidences did he betray a trust. Nor did his patience ever reach its limit, even at times of intense pressure like the Suez crisis of 1956.
Staccie, as he was known to prime ministers and PA messengers alike, played a vital part in giving the PA its reputation for total reliability. With it all, he possessed great kindness and an exceptional sense of humour. And his generosity made him pick up a junior colleague’s dinner bill as readily as he would share his knowledge with him.
His marriage in February 1979, to Enid Hanson give his last 18 months an exceptional dimension of happiness.
