Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My grandmother Maggie was born in County Kerry around 1875. Her future husband, Thomas Flood in his love letters to her referred to her affectiinately as "The Shoemaker's Daughter". He reminded her of one memory she must have told him about trying to push her older sister Abby into a well! She spoke to him fondly of her "balmy days spent by the Killarney Lakes" and the Brickeen Bridge. My sister and I hope to visit the Lakes
Of Killarney in her memory someday.
