    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

Cork, in the year 1897, being the youngest of three brothers in our family. In the same year, my father, William O'Brien, who had a drapery premises in Mitchelstown, transferred his business to Galbally Co. Limerick, where the family went to reside. I was educated in Galbally and, at the end of 1912, I went back to Mitchelstown as an apprentice to the drapery business in the firm of Denis Forrest, Lower Cork St., and, later, as an assistant in O'Keeffe Brothers. When an Irish Volunteer Company was formed in Mitchelstown, early in December 1913, I immediately joined. I think the first company captain was James O'Neill of Mitchelstown. We did a lot of training which included route marches on which we were generally accompanied by two bands a pipe and a brass. Shortly after the Great war started in l914, some of the company officers including, I think, James O'Neill, went to Birmingham, England, and there purchased about 40 Lee Enfield rifles and 100 rounds of ammunition per rifle for the company, They got the rifles and ammunition safely to Mitchelstown.
