It is a narrow track that lies well off the beaten path, virtually unseen and ignored by the vast majority of humanity careening headlong through life”. Jim Goll.

Death, November 10, 1883. St. Paul; Mortimer Danaher, aged 121 years died at the home of his son in Derrynan Lesueur Co. Danaher was the last surviving brother of a remarkable family.

BROTHER: Baptist Thomas Moloney (1844-1910) Thomas Moloney was born in the parish of Monagea, near Newcastle West, Co. Limerick, in January 1844. Around 1850 his family moved to Kilmorna, Duagh, Co. Kerry. He received his first education in the local National School. On 8th September 1862, at the age of 18, he joined the Presentation Brothers at the South Monastery, Douglas Street, Cork. Brother Paul Townsend was his local superior. On receipt of the habit at his religious reception, he took the name, Brother Baptist. He possessed great gifts for relating to young people and, after mastering the basics of class management, he began teaching in the Lancastrian School, Washington Street, Cork, under Brother Townsend. He made his religious profession in January, 1866. Soon after this, he was transferred to St. Patrick’s Orphanage, Greenmount, Cork, where he quickly achieved near-hero status with the boys there. One of his past students described how he first won the student’s admiration:
“He called us together one afternoon, by the breaking of a rod in his hand, (he indicated) that the punishment system had ended in Greenmount and that from now on the boys would be ruled by the merit system, and that honour would be exacted from each one of us.” (Conroy, in Feheney 1966, 43) Though Brother Baptist was eminently successful as Superintendent of the Orphanage in Greenmount, he received a new appointment in September 1878, when he was appointed Superior and Principal of a new Presentation foundation in Birr, Co. Offaly. With him he brought three other Kerry men from the South Monastery: Stanislaus Kennelly from Moyvane, De Sales O’Connor and Leo O’Sullivan from Duagh. Baptist was a delegate at the first General Chapter of the Presentation Brothers in the South Monastery, Cork, and, on 1 July 1889, he was elected a member of the Congregational Leadership Team, known as the General Council. This necessitated his transfer to Cork, where he laboured for another twenty years. He died after a short illness on 23 July, 1910, aged 66 years. He was buried in the cemetery attached to Mount St. Joseph, Blarney Street, Cork.
