[sent July 24th]
Today is July 24th. On this date in 1841, 23-year-old John Ahearne arrived
on the ship Leila at the port of Baltimore, Maryland from Ireland. See
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahimmig.htm#baltimore for a list of
Aherns arriving in the U.S. through the port of Baltimore.
A word of advice - do not open email with subjects lines such as "You've
received a greeting ecard from a Colleague!" or "You've received an ecard
from a Friend!". These usually have instructions to click on a link
to open the supposed greeting. There once was a time when people would
sometimes send such greetings, but now they are almost certainly going to
be spam and any time you click on a link like this you open yourself
up to potential viruses that can infect your computer. There's no way of
telling if it's really a friend, or a foe.
The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 3,400 mark. The earliest new
obituary is a memorial notice for Harold Whitehorn Ahern, 22 October 1915.
Harold was killed in action in Belgium in 1914. His brother, Leonard John
Ahern, was killed in action in France in 1915. Details and photographs
of them and their family, including brothers Albert Edward and Stephen
Charles, who also served in the "War to End All Wars" can be found at
http://www.doverwarmemorialproject.org.uk/Casualties/WWI/SurnamesA.htm
Aherns have given their lives in every conflict since this so-called
"Great War", including, I must now report, our American adventure in Iraq.
The most recent Ahern obituary is for Maj. James Michael Ahearn who was
killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad while here in the U.S. we were
celebrating the 4th of July. His remains are scheduled to be interred at
Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow morning at 10:00. I have set up
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/jmahearn.htm as a memorial page with
a link to the condolences book for the family.
