>From The Cork Examiner, 11 December 1862 - FATAL ACCIDENT AT GLANWORTH RACES.--A fatal accident occurred at Glanworth races last week by which a jockey named John Driscoll lost his life. Six horses started for the first race, and Driscoll, it appears, led on for a considerable distance, till he encountered a formidable fence, and rushing at it with great velocity the horse lost his stride, and breasted the ditch throwing his rider heavily at the opposite side, breaking his neck in the fall, and instantaneous death was the result. He was 33 years of age, and had the reputation of being a sober, well-conducted man. He leaves a wife and three children.--Constitution - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

>From The Cork Examiner, 18 January 1861 January 10, at St. George's-quay, the residence of her son, Elizabeth, relict of the late James Clements, Esq., many years Sub-Inspector of Constabulary in Limerick. >From The Cork Examiner, 13 January 1862 DEATH OF EDWARD CLEMENTS, ESQ. Another of the "old guard" has passed away. Edward Clements, so long and so closely connected with O'Connell in all his agitations, and so long known in connexion with the Dublin registry and with every liberal political movement, died on Saturday at his chambers, Henrietta-st. Mr. Clement [sic] was son of Hill Clements, Esq., C.E., county Cork, and was a members [sic] of the Irish bar. His connexion with politics injured him seriously in his professional career, and, with characteristic gratitude, the Liberal party passed him over on every occasion when they might, with advantage to the public service and to an old ally, have given him promotion. The fact was, he was too useful ; always ready to act when called upon, and when an open [sic] offered for serving him those who used him were too timid to aid a friend. In social life Mr. Clements was highly esteemed. A charming musician--endowed with an exquisite voice and passionately devoted to the study of the fine arts, he was amongst the few whose opinion on such topics was valued. For some time Mr. Clements' health has been failing, and hope deferred helped to weigh him down to that bourne whence no traveller returns.--Freeman of this day. >From The Cork Examiner, 18 July, 1881 CLEMENTS--July 13, at the residence of his son in law, 13, Wentworth place, Dublin, Mr. John Clements, aged 84 years. >From The Cork Examiner, 18 November, 1881 CLEMENTS--November 14, at her residence, Glenealy, Mrs. Clements, in the 80th year of her age. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern [dja] | The Obituary Daily Times indexer for Acton, Massachusetts | The Acton Beacon, The Irish Examiner, ahern@world.std.com | The Evening Echo, The Cork Examiner http://tiara.ie/obframe.htm | http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
