Dear friends of Beara, Sue Iles has a new post up at her Ring of Beara blog. This one is about unveiling the Princess Beara monument. Enjoy. http://ringofbeara.blogspot.com/2009/01/princess-beara-unveiling-her-memorial.html -- Bill

I'm forwarding this to the list because it mentions they have a free online book: "1892 Mining Directory for US, Canada, Mexico" I don't know if it is helpful, or not, as I did not look at it, but I know there are a lot of Beara miners that emigrated, so maybe it might be of interest.

Looking at Riobard's list of families I see many McCarthys and I just wonder if there was ever an Andrew among them. That is not a very common first name for a McCarthy. My husband's great grandfather was Andrew born circa 1843 and he came to Montreal as a very young boy (he never knew his exact age) in the company of a woman and was grew up in Vermont. When he was older he tried unsuccessfully to find the woman who brought him in an attempt to learn more about his early life, but he never found her. Consequently, he himself knew nothing of his Irish roots. He supposedly sailed from Dun Laouhrie (I've murdered that spelling!) or Kingstown as it was called then, but we have no idea where he was born, and I don't supposed we ever will learn any more with that little to go on. We often think, though, that if we could hear of an Andrew in Ireland, it might possibly be him.

Riobard, Thanks for the Eyeries Village Recollections and I believe that the Humphery Leary that you mentioned as settling in Clountreem was my father's best friend as a youth and they worked together during the Troubles, since he claimed a pension from the IRA which he said my father should apply for recognition. He never did. Thanks for the memory. I am still working my way through the genealogy you sent me and hope to correspond with some clerical comments.

Riobard, we had a John (Quinn) Murphy out here in the Seattle area. He died about 15 years ago and was most likely in his 80s at the time. His wife's name was Betty. At the time I didn't understand what the Quinn part was about but thanks to you I now understand. Gary Shirley In a message dated 1/3/2009 2:48:46 A.M.

Where Dan Norr's Post Office and Shop, as we know it today is, was once the site of Michael (the Weaver) Sheehan's house. The carded wool from Joe Young's mill (behind the "Holly Bar") was spun by women in the Village and brought to the Weaver who wove it into cloth. Michael (who came from Glenmore, Co. Kerry) and his wife Jude were fabulous Gaelic speakers. Jude was the last keening woman (crying loudly over the body of the dead person) and she also laid our the dead bodies. She had red hair, and it was a local superstition that if you passed a red-haired woman going fishing, it would bring you bad luck. I was going fishing with Paddy (Flor Jack) O'Sullivan one day when I was young. Jude happened to come out the door just as we were about to pass. Paddy stopped in his tracks and wouldn't move until Jude had gone in. Just below the Weaver's house was a small rock on which the politicians used stand making speeches and all sorts of promises prior to elections. Further up the Village was Timmy Riney, the tailor. Riney came from Ardea, Co. Kerry, and was an ardent Kerry supporter. On the day of a football match between Kerry and Cork he would always hang the green and gold of Kerry out the window. One day, when I was about 10 years old, it was the occasion of a Munster final between Cork and Kerry, and feelings on both sides were intense. I wanted a red flag of Cork to hang out our window. My 4 years old sister Maura had a doll with a red dress on it. I was cutting off the doll's dress, and Maura was bawling crying. My father heard her. Up the stairs he came. I had the scissors in my hand. My father went to give me a "clout". I put up my hand to defend myself, but the scissors cut my father between the thumb and the index finger. That was the last Cork flag that was ever again attempted to wave out the window at Riney. Up the street was Kate O'Hara's shop. She was married to Michael O'Hara, a road ganger who came from Co. Galway, and who loved to eat river eels. When we were small, Vincie (Jer Denny) and I used spend hours down the river catching eels for O'Hara. The strange thing about it is that eels, despite their looks, were very tasty. O'Hara's wife Kate was a mighty diplomat. During the first World War sweets were very scarce, but everybody who came in to Kate got "the last sweet" she had. Jer (Denny) Harrington, her brother had a grocery shop, a hackney car, and the first threshing machine in Ardgroom and further afield. Quinlan (the Shoemaker) O'Sullivan was married three times. Just above Quinlan's was Jim O'Sullivan(Glas) from Kerry, and then Tady Harrington, known as "Tady the Ram", who was a butcher and used buy alot of rams. Then came Mikie O'Brien, a carpenter and pub owner (now the "Village Inn" --- a pub and restaurant). It was originally Jimmy (Pats) O'Sullivan's pub. Beside it was Johnny ("Kruger") Murphy's house. Johnny had a sidecar and a common cart and horse for bringing passengers and goods from Ardgroom Village to Castletownbere and back. Of his 7 children, 5 emigrated to New York. At the top of the Village was the "Holly Bar". The stones with which Tade Kelly (who was also a carpenter) had the "Holly Bar" built were got on the southern side of Glenbeg Lake, brought across by boat to Glenbeg Bridge, and carted down to the Village. The total cost of building the pub at the time was £20 (twenty pounds). Some holly branches were put up on the front window of the pub as decorations one Christmas about 100 years ago. A holly berry fell down between the window boards. It took root in the earth there, and over the years grew into a holly tree that now covers the whole front window. The "Holly Bar" closed recently. In a part of one of the oldest houses to the west of the bridge is where soup was given to the people to keep them alive during the time of the Famine. Behind Patsy McCarthy's was Mary Mullins' house, and near that was Johnny (Tom) O'Sullivan's. Johnny used always make out that if you kept singing to a cow while you were milking her, she would give you more milk. We had phycologists in our Village that time as well !! I hope you enjoyed the little "run" through the Village as it was in the olden days. Regards, Riobard. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

Below Mag Danieleen's was Paddy Coughlan's. Paddy came there from Dingle in Co. Kerry. He spoke very broken English as his native Language was Gaelic. Beside Coughlan's was Tim Mullins who had a Hackney business. Next to Tim Mullins was Liam O'Dwyer (my father). He and my mother Ella Mae Quille met and married in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. I was only three years old when we returned to Ireland. My sister Norelene was born in New York on the way home. On the way to Ardgroom my mother, in the pony and trap, was scared of her life. She wasn't used to mountains. Passing near the Lakes of Killarney, she used move to the far side of the trap as she thought that the mountains would fall down on top of her. My father built a dance hall. In the meantime three other members of the family were coming along:- Liam, Maura (now married to Batt Burns, the Seanchai) and Sean. The few "long dances" finished at midnight, and the normal dances finished at 10 p.m. For a good while, the Parish Priest (to put mildly) was not favourably disposed towards the dances as he looked on them as "occasions of sin". He would ask people in Confession if they were dancing in our hall the Sunday night before. On occasions he would walk into the hall, spread out his hands in a gesture that would say "All out" to those who would go out for him. At the time many people used be walking up and down the road in front of the hall afraid to go in. It wasn't until my father, cycling to Castletownbere one day, stopped the Parish Priest on the road and said to him: "May God forgive you, Father. You are taking the bread and butter out of the mouths of my children", that this nonsense stopped. The band consisted of my father playing the accordion and my mother playing the fiddle and concertina. There were no microphones in those days. The music consisted mostly of old time waltzes, sets (traditional Irish dancing), barn dances, the Stack of Barley, and two-steps. I was at the door, at the age of 6, collecting the 4 pences (approx. 4 cents later). One night a man from Kerry, seeing that I was so small, passed me in without paying. He went over to the right and sat down. Off I went after him looking for my four pence. I stayed at him for about 20 minutes until I got the four pence off him ---- but by then about half the hall had got in for nothing !! When I was 8 years old, I went up on the stage playing the accordion with my mother, and my father went on the door collecting the four pences. Bit by bit the remaining members of the family joined in the band:- Norelene on the concertina, Liam on the piano accordion and drums, Maura on the keyboard and concertina, and Sean on the concertina. Despite what was done to them as regards the dance hall in the early years, my father and mother, who were deeply religious, kept the Faith and attended Mass regularly. One time, during the War of Independence in Ireland, my father, who was an Officer in the Republican movement, was in Dublin on a mission. He went to Confession. The Priest refused to hear his Confession when he heard that my father was an Officer in the Republican Movement. So my father went next door to the next Priest who heard his Confession. 'Tis strange how the ways of the world change. The dance hall, which in early years had come under considerable opposition from the then Parish Priest, came in handy in 1994/1995, as Masses were held there while the Ardgroom Church was being renovated.
