Well done to the Cork Juniors tonight on winning the All Ireland, and especially to Millstreet men Michael Vaughan and Kevin Crowley who are both in the Cork squad. Michael came on in the second half as Cork fended off a stiff challenge from Kildare to take the title on a scoreline of 0-13 to 1-7 [match reports: GAA.ie, Evening Echo]
… and hopefully Mark Ellis can pick up the All Ireland Senior Hurling medal in two weeks time.

Many thanks to Eileen O’Riordan of Dromsicane for informing us that the six courageous boatmen who began their adventure at the Boeing on the River Blackwater on Monday morning ended their enjoyable but challenging trip successfully as they arrived in Youghal early on Thursday afternoon (22nd August 2013). They had a great adventure but it was hard work the first day with the water so low. The six men enjoyed our website feature regarding their very interesting adventure. (S.R.)
Maurice Buckley writes: “The man in the photograph is likely to be Agustus Andreae the owner of the shop and some of his daughters.
Agustus inherited the shop from his mother (a widow) after she died 31/03/1858.
Agustus married Catherine Dennehy (a shop assistant from Millstreet in 1880) and they had 5 daughters, and a son:
The girls were known, as far as I know, as Margaret, Bridget, Sophie, May,and Elsie. None of them married.
Agustus had 2 sisters Margaret and Sophie Andreae:
The original Andreaes who came to Millstreet were 2 brothers – William and Augusta. Both were German Lutherans. They came around middle to late 1830s. William was married to Margaret Browne said to be from the Castleisland area they were married in London in 1835.
The other brother Augusta never married and served in the local church of St. Anna’s (in Pound Hill) as Church Warden 1860-1875.
Together they started a bakery etc. and it appears business grew from there. William died in 1844 aged 36 and is buried in St. Patrick’s Cemetery as he became Catholic after the birth of their first child.
Augusta died in 1884 and is buried in St. Anna’s Cemetery in Pound Hill, Millstreet.”

Epitath on headstone in St.Patrick’s Church Cemetery: “Erected in memory of Augustus Andreae who died 28th march 1894 aged 52 years. Also his beloved child William aged 6 months and to his young mother Margaret Andreae who died 31st May 1858 age 49 years”.

Some of the Andreae children were sent to study in Padraig Pearse’s school Scoil Éanna in Dublin (from ‘Ready Willing Waiting: Keale Millstreet Mushera, Rathduane Irish Volunteers 1916’, page 19)

The next 112 images recall how I was transported by digger (crossing the Boeing!), by Quad (on way to O’Riordan Family home) and by car (to Keale Bridge).

Lots of books were signed, numerous photographs taken, hugely helpful cooking tips shared, marvellous humour and conversation enjoyed – plus a superb variety of delicious refreshments provided by O’Leary Family Craft Butchers utterly enjoyed by the many visitors and callers to the most memorable event. Neven gave a truly excellent interview to LTV2 – speaking so sincerely from the heart.
