Letter from Sister M. of Good Counsel (Mangan) to Nancy O’Rahilly, 7 May 1916.
My dearest Nan,
I cannot tell you how deeply grieved I was to learn of the very bad end of my dear Cousin, Michael and now come to offer you my heartfelt sympathy in your great sorrow. I feel intensely for you, and his four young children as it is a great trial to lose a good husband and father, but what must dear Nell & Anna also be feeling at such a tragic end to their loved brother. I ask you please to convey to them my feelings of condolence under the weight of this heavy cross:
A SUSPICIOUS VESSEL. Published: August 30, 1864
From the Freeman’s Journal, Aug. 16. 1864
A magnificent and rapid sailing steamer, with three funnels, visited the Shannon on Saturday last. She proceeded to the Foynes Island, where she lay at anchor until evening, when she suddenly steamed westward, toward Tarbert. While at anchor near Foynes, a warlike party landed, and made inquiries at the railway station about a special train to Limerick, and they appeared exceedingly disappointed when they could not proceed by rail to Limerick. It is supposed that the vessel is a blockade-runner, and it was rumoured here that a Lieutenant of the Alabama was one of the party who landed at Foynes. It appears that the steamer has arrived to convey an immense supply of clothing to the Confederates.
Obituary ; ANGLIN-Timothy J., June 8, 1951, native of Tarbert, County Kerry, Ireland; beloved husband of Hannah (nee O’Grady), devoted father of Rev. Daniel J. Anglin.
