WEDDING BELLS. CAMPBELL�EGAN
The marriage of Mr Andrew Campbell to Miss Charlotte Egan afforded the townsfolk of Redbank a pleasant holiday, and somewhat compensated for no visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales to its locality.
The ceremony was performed in St. Paul's Church, Redbank, the Vicar, Rev. Canon Reynolds, officiating.
The bridegroom, who with two brothers, "did his bit" at the front, is now appointed Inspector of Returned Soldiers' Settlements in the Apsley district. He is the son of Mr and Mrs Andrew Campbell, of Miga Lake, Harrow. He appeared in the uniform of the A.I.F. and wore the colors of the 38th Battalion. Whilst serving in this unit he was severely wounded and invalided home. Khaki was also worn by Mr Neil Campbell, his brother, who acted as best man, and by Mr G. M. Egan, the eldest brother of the bride, who gave her away.

Letter (from the 1940s?) written by J.J. Kenneally
Thu Sep 29 02:08:15 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth At a website about the history of the village of Newtownsandes, County Kerry, Ireland I found a letter written by J.J. Kenneally but the name is spelled Kennelly in the letter.
In the letter he mentions Ned Kelly and his book about him.
You can read it here--
http://www.geocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/jjkennelly.html
When you go to the homepage http://www.geocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/ you can click into the guestbook where a lady writes in and gives thanks for seeing the letter from her grandfather, "J.J. Kennelly (Kenneally in Australia)" and confirms some of the facts. I did some checking in Corfield and elsewhere and see that the family facts are correct and the fact of him running for office. From what I can figure the year of the letter must have been between 1945 and 1947 since he says that the Duke of Gloucester is still here (as the Duke was Governor General of Australia between 1945 and 1947). Also he mentions "president De Valera" who served in the position of prime minister of Ireland between 1937 and 1948.
In August 1945 Kenneally did the "enlarged and revised" version of his "Inner History of the Kelly Gang." Kenneally died in 1949.

edited to add in the bit where it says he mentions Ned Kelly, nearly forgot to add that most important part in!

Bill Denheld Dear Sharon,
That is a beaut find. Interesting that to read the letter and ' Mat' is a well to do farmer at Eleven Mile Creek. No doubt this kindled JJK's interest in the Kelly saga.
Keep up the good work Sharon, we all appreciate the resource.
Regarding http://www.ironicon.com.au , during the past month my internet service provider had a server crash and they re-instated settings according to an old copy they had. The result of this meant- intending visitors could not access the site/s.
Please revisit the above URL and save that to your Favourites list as this will be the only way to the other sites as well. If anyone has a problem to access please let me know.
With thanks, Bill

Sharon Hollingsworth Bill, thank you very much for your comments. A little appreciation sure goes a long way! I saw over on the ironicon links page where you have mentioned me under the KC2000 link in reference to the forum. Maybe a few people who wondered where I vanished to can now find me.
It seems that not only am I "inimitable" I am unsinkable like Molly Brown (on the Titanic)!
I really appreciate the recognition.
Now I just hope I can keep on finding these great little nuggets of information like the Kenneally letter! It is getting harder and harder to find good stuff as I have searched so darned much these past few years!

Fri Sep 30 06:57:36 2005 letter from 1940 (Edit Post)
Lola R Sharon I have passed this onto JJ's Granddaughter, Mary, as it does not read quite right to me.
Fri Sep 30 17:00:28 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth Thanks Lola, I had wondered what Mary Kenneally would make of it. The other lady who was a granddaughter who visited the guestbook seemed to agree with some of the family facts, but I would like to know just where this history site got the letter from! They give no provenance or background to the letter, just listing his name under families that had ancestral ties in the area and thus I clicked on.
Hope we can solve the riddle! Let us know what she says.

Thank you for sending the back copies of the Voice, I found them very interesting. 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.
Johanna Mulvihill daughter of Michael, married Patrick Geary from Co. Limerick, and came to Australia.
Patrick Mulvihill arrived in Australia on the Abyssinian 1859 in Sydney. Shipping papers say that his parents were
deceased and he was joining his brother.
I would be very thankfull if someone can connect any of this information with theirs, and maybe allow me to further my
research into my family.
Thanks Mary Ann for helping me with this research. I did go over to Ireland in 2005 and tried to find out more
information, but wasn't successful at all.
Cheers,
Dorothy Vowles,
Little Bay, Sydney NSW

Try Moyvane and Kilbaha
In 1432 we find Donatus (Donal) 0 Cionnfiaolaidh is recorded as priest in Aghavallin. He translated to Kilfergus (Glin) in 1435 ('a parish long vacant since the marriage of Tomas 0 Halpy [0 hailpinl?] in 1427~'). Cornelius 0 Tuathaill succeeded him.
In 1449 Sean 0 Colmain, clerk of the parish, is provided to Aghavallin in succession to Taigh 0 Cionnfhaolaidh, but two years later Cornelius 0 Concubhair (O'Connor) petitions Rome that on the death of ~O'Tuathaill, he himself was dispensed by the Pope and appointed Vicar. He says he served in Aghavallin for a year, but that John Pursel, Canon of Limerick, settled the dispute between himself and 0 Colmain in favour of the latter.
Appointing 0 Colmain to the vicarage of Kilgobnet and 0 Concubhair to Drumcannon, both in Lismore Diocese, solved this problem.
In 1457, Taigh 0 Logyhane (0 Longhain, Langan) clergyman of the parish is charged the sale of Church Appointments 0r Church Property and with perjury , Donal 0 Cionnfhaolaidh back again in 1460.

Hurricane Katrina
In August 2005, Loyola closed its campus and evacuated its students in anticipation of Hurricane Katrina. The campus sustained minimal wind damage including broken windows but floodwaters did not breach any buildings. Following cleanup, classes resumed on Monday, 2006-01-09. Despite the displacement of the entire student body during the fall 2005 semester, 91 percent of Loyola�s undergraduate students returned for the spring 2006 semester. Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2006 took place April 28-29, the first New Orleans college to do so post-Katrina. On 2006-04-10, President Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J. unveiled PATHWAYS - Toward Our Second Century, Loyola's strategic plan. The plan restructured the University's colleges and eliminated several academic programs and faculty positions to reduce operating costs and revitalize the University. "PATHWAYS" was widely criticized by students and staff who felt uninvolved in the decision-making process. The Board of Trustees however unanimously approved and passed the plan on 2006-05-19. In response, the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences produced a vote of no-confidence in both the President and the Provost. In Fall 2006, Loyola welcomed the class of 2010, the first post-Katrina freshman class, with 555 new students.[5]
The University
Loyola is home to 5,000 students, including 3,000 undergraduates. The student faculty ratio is 12 to 1, far better than the national average of 45 to 1 among private institutions. Loyola's motto is "Thinking Critically, Acting Justly." Loyola New Orleans offers students an outstanding undergraduate education, stated the New York-based education services company, The Princeton Review. The Princeton Review features Loyola New Orleans in the new 2007 edition of its annual book, The Best 361 Colleges.[1] Almost all courses are taught by full-time faculty, and 91 percent hold doctoral or equivalent degrees in their area of expertise. Professors have been recognized nationally and internationally by the Pulitzer Committee, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by numerous other professional and scholarly associations.[2] The seal, which was adopted by the university in 1929, reveals the coat of arms of the house of Loyola with the emblem of the Society of Jesus at the top. Central to the seal are two wolves and a golden pot, which come from St. Ignatius Loyola's family crest and symbolize generosity, having enough to give to the wolves. Above the figures of the wolves appear the fleur-de-lis, which represents the French origin of the city and state. Beneath it is a pelican feeding its young with her own blood; this ancient symbol of Christianity (Christ feeding the Church with his body and blood through the Eucharist) depicts Loyola as an institution of the state of Louisiana.[3]

RELICS
In a shadowy studio
I immortalize you
in a cedar frame
so
your religious relics
won�t be lost
as you were
your spirit
tied only
to dried roses
now powdered
are said to have touched
the coffin of St. Theresa
splinters of a cross
that once lay
across a Holy man
still wrapped
in a faultless square of
waxed paper
a scapular, the backdrop
like a poorly hung drape
in the aged confessional
where you felt coerced to
admit your sins
this promised you salvation
tokens of these
like
wasted
lullabies
of your silenced voice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STONE HOUSE
at the stone house
you will find
grenadine geraniums
beneath the kitchen window
spicy-sweet
they spill out of a
window box
abandoning
their summer petals
a warm breeze brings in
the honeyed air of
ambrosial autumn clematis
eager to waft
and wave at passersby
at the stone house
you will find
me
gazing out the kitchen window
on a scarce sunny September
where I sit
in silky silence
considering a cup of Ceylon tea
and saying good-bye
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KILTOMEY CEMETERY
the Celtic tiger didn�t roar on our trip
which began and ended at the cemetery
kneeling down to
peer into the crumbling open grave
uneven sacred ground
jutted stones like concrete waves
fetid smell of bog and damp grey
we can just
make out a skull or bone
brought forward by an animal
sealing a young man�s promise
now witnessed
he did
dance on your grave
his heels bruise the earth
afterwards there is only
the hum of the pub
and hot whiskey
where cloves cling to lemon slices
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE UPPER ROOM ENTIRELY
Beyond the front hall,
where worn Wellies
countless times
have found their way home
Open the door now,
where the sitting room
fire gives
some warmth to your hands
Walk through the hallway,
where their pictures
hang in
gilt-edged frames
Don�t open that door,
that leads to the fields
It�s as old as the county
it sticks a little
go past the parlor; much
quieter there,
though the mantel clock
ticks loudly
to the upper room,
where you sleep
next to
cold plaster walls
the paisley
wallpaper
wears past rainstorms
one single bed
you are home
in the upper room entirely
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEY LEFT THE HOUSE
They left the house
to squatters and animals
it sat lost
on the hilltop
disintegrating
they tell me of
days when
apple trees lined the hill
when antiques graced
the rooms
brought back
from London or Dublin
by a wealthy priest
his brother
a misguided man
wandered the streets
with tattered Dylan Thomas
and his rantings
they tell me this
this is your family
they say "when are you leaving?"
the day your arrive
you find no warm embraces
only the constant reminder
of whom they think you look like
maggie, adrian, donal ...
to prove to themselves
you are not a stranger
but a long lost
member of the
yellow kennelly's clan
whose pallor
is well known
in the county
you just might be the last
of the bad blood
but you�re ok
if you can
hold your own
at The Railway Bar
