[sent October 3rd] Today is October 3rd. On this date in 1884, John Ahern was born in Aghada, County Cork. I learned this from an index of Aherns in Royal Navy Enlistments, 1853-1923 at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahukrec.htm#naval which has links to Records of the Admiralty, Royal Navy and related bodies at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/royal-navy-service.asp See http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/naval.jpg for a sample of a service record. The Ahern obituary page has now passed the 4,175 mark. The earliest new obituary is for Abbie O'Hearn, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, who died of a lingering illness six weeks after her husband, William, had been run over by a train.

[What's odd about this is that the news stories and obituaries of the time, say that John C. Ahern, who took his mother's maiden name of Lockren, was the son of James Ahern, who was still alive and who died in 1899. Who Henry W. Ahern is and whether he is actually related to John Ahern, or whether James Ahern who is listed in the obituaries as John's father, comes forward, remains to be seen.]; Southern Pacific Company filed a demurrer in Ahern's damage claim, 18 March 1897; Henry W. Ahern filed an amended claim for damages stating that the fault was the Company's for not using the newer "Janney" couplings, 9 April 1897; the demurrer to the amended complaint to be heard May 3d, 19 April 1897; Southern Pacific to move for dismissal of damage claim on grounds that Henry W.
