Family History Researcher:
Daniel J. Ryan and Winnefred Powers came to the United States about 185 0. Daniel Ryan came from Castleconnell, Co. Limerick and Winnefred Powe rs came from Killaloe, Co. Clare. They were married April 6, 1856 in Chic opee, Massachusetts. They came to Buchanan, Wisconsin in the autumn of 18 57. They purchased Lot 7 of section 24, the deed of which was recorded Ap ril 7, 1858, in viol. 20D, p 79, Outagamie County records. This 80 acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees,particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured 20 to 50 fee t. He cut down these trees with an axe. He and Winnefred with a cross-c ut saw, sawed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them togeth er into piles. The farm stumps measured 5 feet in diameter. They also c ut white and red oak fence rails 15 feet in length without a knot or spli t, and as straight as a line. He began to clear his 80 acres, building a one story log hous e, 12 X 16 feet, with two half windows and one door. The timber used he h ewed himself. A few months later he purchased a team of oxen for whi ch he built a small log stable. Later he bought a cow, and gradually addi ng to his stock of farm implements as he could afford them. About 1864 he built the house that they lived in. It was the first f rame house in the township of Buchanan, and about the same time erect ed a frame barn 32 X 50, shingled with split shingles, some of which sti ll remain in a good state of preservation. The lumber for these buildin gs was ripped by a sawmill about 2 miles east of the Ryan homestead. In 1 893 he built a frame house on a piece of land adjoining the home farm, a nd there he lived during his remaining years, passing away in February 2 4, 1907. His wife, Winnefred died October 16, 1903. They are both buri ed at St. Mary's Cemetery in South Kaukauna.. Although Daniel Ryan w as a very well known and influential man in his community, he devoted a ll of his time to his farming interests and never aspired to public prefer ment. In 1875 he bought Lot 8, section 24, which had hundreds of large mapl es. These maples measured from 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Annualy for yea rs he made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supply them f or the coming year. During the Spring season it was not uncommon for the pioneers to wa lk to Green Bay to purchase necessities. In the early 70's the roads, whe re possible, were laid out on the lot or section lines. Winnefred (Powers) Ryan died on October 16, 1903 in the afterno on in her home in the Town of Buchanan. She had been an invalid through r heumatism for some time. Pneumonia settled in a few days prior to her dea th. Daniel Ryan became a citizen of the United States on November 29th, 1 870. On the day of his funeral it was snowing and the road into the farm w as full of snow. The Paper Mill had the whole shift of workers come and c lear the road so that the funeral could proceed from the house to the chur ch. After they cleared the road the workers went back to their jobs. Daniel Ryan's brother, Timothy Ryan left Ireland and went to Californ ia,and later settled in Seattle, Washington. He also had a brother Micha el Ryan who went to Sonora, California. Daniel Ryan adopted Michael Ryan 's three children February 1st 1879. He also had a brother Thomas Ryan w ho was in the Chicago area at one time. He also had a sister Bridgit, w ho went to California and married a Patrick McNamara and at one time liv ed in Knights Ferry, California. [WFT54PaulRyan.FTW]]

Kaukauna Times dated 3/10/1905; William Kennedy, the venerable white hair ed sage of Appleton, in a communication to the Appleton Crescent, pays t he following tribute to the late Daniel Ryan of the town of Buchanan

News Mention:
William Kennedy, the venerable white-haired sage of Appleton, in a communication to the Appleton Crescent, pa ys the following tribute to the late Daniel Ryan, of the town of Buchanan:
A few days ago in the town of Buchanan a person passed away from this life, and since then I have been thinking of this man, whom I have known intimately for more than 30 years; and it appears to me that he is entitled to something more than the mere Obituary Notice the papers record, especially to the men of lowly life. This man was in many ways a remarkable man: to be sure he was not very extensively known outside of the locality in which he died; he was not in evidence at political meetings or public gatherings of any kind; he was simple and unostentations in his life, but he was diligent in his chosen occupation and he was always in evidence at his church on Sundays and holidays. The face reveals the character of the man and this man's face revealed in naturally fine intellect with which with proper culture and favorable opportunities might have won him distinction. He was born in the year 1820, in Castle Connel, in County Limerick, Ireland, within the short distance of the city of the violated treaty. Castle Connel has been a distinguished place for more than 1000 years, it still contains the ruins of those strange structures erected there before the Middle ages. During this man's residence there the peasantry believed that it was a favorite haunt of the fairies, and perhaps it would be well, if their successors in our days would believe so still. A little bit of imagination does not do anybody any harm. This man arrived in America at the age of 30 years, and he first located near the city of Springfield Mass., where he married, and where he continued to resided until the year 1856 when came to the town of Buchanan where he has lived since. While in Massachusetts he was the employ of a retired merchant, who had been so attached to him that he offered to double its compensation if he would remain permanently with him. The men among whom this man was born, among whom he lived until he was 30 years of age were in many ways remarkable men. O'Connell use to call them (and he knew) "the finest peasantry under the sun." It was their fathers, according to the Duke of Wellington, that saved the British Empire from destruction, and historians of England concede it. These men were distinguished for the absolute purity of their morals. They knew little of sin, because they had but little conception of it. They bore some resemblance at least, to the holy man that hourly worship at the altars of God. They were loyal to their friends; they had a tender hearts; they were frugal and laborious in their lives, and they kept the faith in which they were born. The man of whom I am speaking inherently inherited the qualities of these men and they continued with him through his life. Nor are they likely to pass away with his life, because he has left behind him those of his own blood who have inherited from his virtues; and they are certain to be perpetuated through them for many years to come. This man was not rich. He was simply in comfortable circumstances for his vocation in life. But if the Palace has its pleasures, and the cottage is not without its felicities: and God, after all is not inequitable and the distribution of his gifts.
"Princes and lords may flourish and may fade, a breath may take them as a breath hat has made, but a bold peasantry, their country's pride, when once destroyed can never be supplied."
He was an Irishman that wrote these lines. He is known to the world of our days as Oliver Goldsmith. But in his days his friends, for short, used call him "Poor Goldy." And it would be well especially for Irishman, and for that matter, for all men, to occasionally looked in the books that Goldsmith wrote. All that is mortal of the man that I am talking about peacefully lies in the churchyard in the town of Buchanan adjacent to the church in which he worshiped in life, and there they will remain forever. In the years, of course, he will be forgotten; but the place he lies will not be forgotten by God, because the spot that entombs the ashes of a good man remains consecrated ground forever. But who is this good man of whom I have been speaking? His name is Daniel Ryan. - WILLIAM KENNEDY.

Letter:
This letter has been passed down from Winifred Powers Ryan's to her descendants. With a bit of research, we are able to identify a few of the persons mentioned in the letter. This is also one of the strongest pieces of "evidence" that Winifred's mother, Mary Cox, was the sister to Patrick Cox, who also settled in Holland town in the late 1850's. Winifred is listed in the 1850 Census in Chicopee, Massachusetts, age 18, living with Catharine Cox and her children. They would be her Aunt and cousins.

The letter writer would most likely be Katherine Cox, born about 1854 in Connecticut, daughter of Patrick Cox (born 1831, son of Patrick Cox born 1788) and Alice McDonald. This Patrick stayed on the East Coast and is found in the 1880 Census in Waterbury, Connecticut, listed as a Liquor Dealer with his daughter Katie (24) and son William (19)

Katherine doesn't mention the name of her husband in the letter and more research is needed to find her marriage record.

The Ella and Katie Ringrose mentioned in the letter would be Katherine "Katie" Ringrose born Berlin, Hartford County, Connecticut, and her sister Ellen Ringrose born about December 1854 in Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. These two sisters would have been 1st cousins, once removed of Winifred (Powers) Ryan. Their mother was Anne (Cox) Ringrose (1818-1904) and their father Maurice Ringrose (1820-1882). The Ringrose family farmed in Greenville in Outagamie County until about 1880 when they moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota and became one of the founding families of that town.

Called To Their Reward - Mrs. Daniel Ryan Answers the Call The passing away of a pioneer always leaves a void in a community that con not ever be filled - and this is so much more evident when an old resident passes away who has been a good citizen and a christian. Such a being, in the person of Mrs. Daniel Ryan, passed to her reward in the unknown, at her home in the town of Buchanan, Friday afternoon. For the past year Mrs. Ryan had been an invalid through rheumatism, the final end being brought about by a slight cold that the enfeebled frame was unable to withstand.Mrs. Daniel Ryan whose maiden name was Winnefred Bowers(sic), was born at Killaloe, County Clare, Ireland, May 31, 1831 and came to this country in January 1850. She was united in marriage to Daniel Ryan, at Chicopee, Massachusetts on April 6, 1856, and one year later came west with her usband, the couple locating in the heart of the wilderness in the town of Buchanan on the farm where they have since made their home.Mrs. Ryan was a christian lady and it is with a feeling of intense pride that the SUN prints the following endorsement of her worth, taken from the Appleton Daily Crescent:"Mrs. Ryan was a woman possesed of all of the virtues which made the pioneer woman of this county and abiding force whose influence still remains strong in the civilization which they helped win from the early wilderness. Energetic, warm-hearted, charitable, helpful, of domestic tastes and devoted to her family, her life which is now ended was one of usefulness and christian living. Of such as her was ir said " Her children shall rise up and call her blessed."She leaves to mourn her death her venerable husband and seven children, as follows: Thomas H. Ryan, Appleton; Malachi, Daniel Ryan and Miss Winnifred Ryan, Buchanan; Dr. M.C. Ryan, Marion, Wis.; Mrs Peter Cripps and Mrs James Harney, Duluth. Also her brother Patrick Powers of the town of Buchanan and sister, Mrs. Coyle of Menasha. All of her relatives were present at the time of her death.The funeral was held from St. Mary's church Monday forenoon at 9 o'clock and she was laid to rest in the cemetery she lived in sight of for so many years. the pall bearers were Richard Powers, Thomas Rohan, David O'Connell, Michael Farrell, Michael Fox and John Cox.
Appleton Crescent Paper of Appleton, Wisconsin, dated October 24, 1903. Death of Mrs. Daniel (Winnifred) Ryan.Mrs. Daniel Ryan an old pioneer of the county and mother of Thomas H.

Biography:
From 'The History of Buchanan" by Thomas Ryan circa 1942?...(starting at page 6) ...The year round wild animals and game drank t he sulphur water. The writer, who was born seventy-five years ago in a l og house built on Lot 7. Section 24, recalls seeing, when a young lad, thr ee large basswood trees growing from a single base or stump and extendi ng upwards forty feet or more without a branch, near said red sulphur spri ng. Away up in the branches someone had constructed a platform conceal ed by the limbs, branches, and leaves. Access to this platform vas ma de by ascending short wooden planks which had been spiked, like step s, to the side of the trees. On this platform the hunter waited till t he deer or other wild animals came to drink. The fact that the Indian fiel ds were recorded by the surveyors of the town of Buchanan, is almost concl usive of the fact that Township 21, Range 18 and 19E south of the river w as covered by a dense growth of timber, but it does not throw any lig ht in the kind of timber which flourished here at the time of the survey.The writer's parents, Daniel and Winnefred Ryan, shortly after their marri age in Chicopee, Massachusetts, came to Buchanan in the autumn of 1857. T hey purchased Lot 7 of Section 24, the deed of which was recorded Apr il 7, 1858 in Vol. 20 D, P. 79 Outagamie County Records. This 80-acre tr act was covered by white and red oak, hard and soft maple, beech, birch, h ickory, basswood, elm, cherry, and ironwood. Many of the trees particular ly the white oak, from the ground to the first limb measured twenty to fif ty feet. Some of the stumps measured five feet in diameter. Mr. Ryan c ut down these trees with an ax, He and Mrs. Ryan, with a cross-cut saw, sa wed them into logs and with a yoke of oxen rolled them together into pile s. They then piled limbs and branches thereon and burned the piles. Corr oborative of their statement I myself, have seen our farm stumps which mea sured five feet in diameter, also white and red Oak fence rails 15 fe et in length without a knot and split as straight as a line. Part of L ot 6 of said section 24 was owned by Wm. Lamure and was not cleared of i ts timber until I was a young man. I have seen on this lot hickory trees g rowing so close together that standing between two trees one could touch b oth at the same time. Because of the dense growth these trees were witho ut branches 30 to 40 feet from the ground. They were at least 75 feet tal l.On Lot 8 Section 24, which father purchased in 1875, were hundreds of lar ge hard maples, interspersed by basswood oak, elm, beech, ironwood and che rry. These maples measured from two to four feet in diameter. Annually f or yeas we made gallons of maple syrup and enough maple sugar to supp ly us for the coming year,As a lad 8 years old, I helped two of my brothers, who were older th an I, saw basswood trees some of which were four feet in diameter in the s tump, into headings. I recall our making a canoe out of a hollow basswo od log which easily held two of us. The, white and red oak were of simil ar dimensions. These were cut into bolts and sold to the hub and spoke fa ctory at Kaukauna. I mention this because the timber on our land was no d ifferent than that of our neighbors who lived in Range 18E. In Range.19E w hite pine dominated the forest.On the whole Buchanan should be classed as hard woodland. No better timb er of its kind can be found anywhere. It goes without saying that la nd which was so prolific in mighty and extraordinary trees could not be ot her than fertile soil. The soil rests upon Trenton and Galena limeston e. Adjacent to the river it is sedimentary red clay; a short distance fr om the river, the clay is interspersed by muck and alluvium deposits. The re is little sand or gravel soil.Buchanan is well drained; Range 18E by Robert's Creek and Mud Creek and th eir tributaries; Range 19E by a tributary of Plum Creek, the source of whi ch is in Section 32 on the county boundary line between Outagamie and Calu met Counties. From this point it flows northeasterly leaving the coun ty in Section 16 and emptying into Plum Creek in Section 10. Plum Cree k, whose source is in Calumet County flows almost due north and discharg es its water in the river in Section 2. Plum Creek itself is in Brown Coun ty.While the foregoing narrative establishes that the area now comprised in t he Town of Buchanan held inducements equal, if not superior to any other a rea of the county for settlers, these natural resources were not general ly known by the public and therefore would not have induced settlers to ta ke up lands. This query naturally follows: Why did Buchanan's original pi oneers locate in Buchanan?

Family History Researcher:
Family beliefs say the POWERS family came from Killaloe County Clare (as r eported by Thomas H. Ryan, grandson of Martin Powers, in his book entitl ed "The History of Outagamie County" published in 1911, in the biograp hy of his father Daniel Ryan who married Winnifred Powers, daughter of Mar tin Powers.)
1845-1854 Boston "State" Lists of index passenger arrivals (Power/s) Fi lm # 0205873 checked, no apparent matches.

About that time frame from another traveller "Set out from Killaloe on Wed nesday the 25th of May 1853, arrived at Dublin at the hour of 10 of o'clo ck at night we took the Steemer for Liverpool (arrived there) the next d ay about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and arrived in Liverpool about 3 o'clo ck on the Morning following. The fare to new york was from 4 pounds sterl ing 10 shillings to 5 pounds sterling for each Adult. We had to take our c ourse to Quebeck at 3 pounds sterling 10 shillings for each Adult and ha lf price for the rest."

March 2002 Response for information on the Powers and Cox families from the County Clare Hertigage Centre at Corofin, County Clare; The Powers or Power name was relatively strong in County Clare during the 19th century, their Master List of Baptisms records 146 families with that name. No record of a marriage was found in County Clare church records, although many parishes church books do not start until later in 1800's. The Church Registers for Baptisms in the Parish of Ogonnelloe do not start until 1832 and are riddled with gaps and ommissions, however one possible baptism was found for a Mary Powers born 5/03/1840, daughter of Martin, no mothers name and family resided in an area known as Bealkelly. The Cox family also lived in Bealkelly. The neighboring Parish of Killaloe Church Registers do not start until 1828 and no Baptisms were found. The Tilthe Applotment Books for the area are dated in 1827, however no Martin Power/Powers is listed as owning or leasing land in the Killaloe or Ogonnelloe area. This of coarse does not mean he did not live in the area, but that he held no titheable property (agricultural land) (He possibly had a trade or occupation outside of farming) The 1855 Land Records also show no record of a Martin Powers (he possibly had already immigrated according to family beliefs)
In the 1855 Griffith's Valuation of the area of Bealkelly - Purdon, all of the land appears to be owned by Simon Purdon, with many names listed as leaseholders or tenants. Many of the same names that settled in the Hollandtown area, such as Clune, Farrell, Cox and O'Brien.

Residence:
KillaloeA post-town and parish, and the seat of a diocese, in the barony of Tull a, county of Clare, and province of Munster, 20 miles (E. by S.) from Enni s, and 87 (S. W. by W.) from Dublin, on the road from Scariff to Nena gh ; containing 8587 inhabitants, of which number 1411 are in the town. Th is place, anciently called Laonia, derived its present name, suppos ed to be a corruption of Kill-da-Lua, from the foundation of an abbe y, in the 6th century, by St. Lua or Molua, grandson of Eocha Baildearg, K ing of Munster, and which became the head of a diocese. Turlogh O'Brie n, in 1054, built a bridge across the Shannon at this place, which had gro wn into some importance, though little of its previous history is relat ed ; and, in 1061, Hugh O'Connor destroyed the castle which had been erect ed here, and burned the town, which was again reduced to ashes in 1080 a nd 1084, by the people of Conmacne. In 1177, Raymond Le Gros, after his tr iumphant entry into Limerick, came to this place, where he received the ho stages of Roderic, King of Connaught, and O'Brien, Prince of Thomond, w ho took the oath of fealty to the King of England. On Richard de Clare's o btaining a grant of certain lands in the county of Clare, this town, as co ntaining the only ford over the Shannon, obtained for some time the appell ation of Claresford. In 1367, after the recall of "Lionel", Duke of Claren ce, from the government of Ireland, who had acquired considerable trac ts of territory around the town, Murrogh-na-Ranagh, one of the O'Briens, m ade himself master of all the country beyond the Shannon, and destroyed th is town and several others belonging to the English. Gen. Sarsfield, in 16 81, posted a strong party at this place, to defend the passage of the riv er ; but having abandoned their post, the English advanced into the weste rn provinces ; and in 1691 the same general, at the head of a select bo dy of cavalry, passed the river and destroyed a convoy of ammunition on i ts way to Wm. III., then at Limerick.
The town is pleasantly situated on a rising ground on the western ba nk of the Shannon, near the noted falls of Killaloe, and about a mile fr om Lough Derg, and is connected with the county of Tipperary by an ancie nt bridge of nineteen arches. It consists of one square, and a principal a nd several smaller streets, and contains about 300 houses. There is a sma ll infantry barrack. A flourishing trade in stuffs, camlets, and serges w as formerly carried on, and two well-supplied markets were held weekly ; b ut both the manufacture and the markets have been discontinued. Above a nd below the bridge there are numerous eel weirs, which produce a strong c urrent in the river, and there is also a salmon fishery. In the vicinity a re some very extensive slate quarries, from which, on an average, about 10 0,000 tons are annually raised for the supply of the surrounding count ry to a great distance. A mill, with machinery driven by water, has been e rected at an expense of £6000, for cutting and polishing stone and marbl e, and working them into mantel-pieces, flags, slabs, and other article s, in which about 100 men are employed, and for whose residence near the w orks are some handsome slated cottages. A spirit of cheerful industry a nd enterprise seems to promise much for the increasing prosperity of the t own. Close to these mills is a yard for boat-building, belonging to the Sh annon Steam Navigation Company, whose head-quarters are at this place, a nd who have established a regular communication by steam-packets, for goo ds and passengers, up the Shannon, through Lough Derg to Portumna, Athlon e, and Banagher, and from Banagher by canal-boats to Dublin. The company a fford employment to a great number of persons in the construction and repa ir of docks and ware-houses. About a quarter of a mile from the villa ge of O'Brien's Bridge is the pier-head, where the steam-boats transfer th eir cargoes and passengers to a packet-boat, which is towed at a rapid ra te to Limerick, between which place and Dublin packet-boats ply daily ; t he trip to Portumna and Williamstown is beautifully picturesque. Below t he bridge the navigation of the Shannon is interrupted by a ridge of rock s, over which the water rushes with great noise ; and the appearance of t he town at this place, with the waters of Lough Derg in the distance, a nd its venerable cathedral rising above the bridge and backed by a fine mo untain range, is strikingly romantic. To remedy this obstruction of the na vigation, the Board of Inland Navigation constructed a canal through the b ishop's demesne, avoiding the rocks, and joining the river beyond the fal ls ; it has also erected an hotel, called Ponsonby Arms, for the accommoda tion of families visiting Lough Derg and its neighbourhood. This lake is a bout thirty miles in length, and abounds with beautiful and interesting sc enery, more especially in that part which is near the town ; the shores a re embellished with several handsome mansions, embosomed in luxuriant woo ds and plantations, and with several ancient and venerable castles. Pik e, perch, trout, and various other fish are taken in abundance, among whi ch is found the Gillaroo trout. Fairs are held on April 5th, May 24th, Sep t. 3rd and Oct. 20th ; and petty sessions once a fortnight. A constabula ry police force is stationed in the town.


THE TOWN OF KILLALOE (1996 Census, Population 972)Killaloe stands on the River Shannon, on the southern end of Lough Der g. It owes its origin to the sixth century monastic establishment of St. L ua, which first stood on a small island in the Shannon, about 1km. downstr eam from Killaloe bridge. Later the monks moved to more spacious grou nd on the mainland opposite. This monastic centre was called Cill Dálua, ( Killaloe), or the Church of St. Lua.KILLALOE remained an important centre for many centuries. In 1579, Sir Nic holas Malby, the Governor of Connaught was directed by Queen Elizabe th to designate Killaloe, Quin or Ennis as the capital town of the Coun ty of Clare. He chose Ennis.In 1650 Cromwell's army encamped for ten days at Ballina exploring a passa ge across the river. Thirty years later, King James's men marched throu gh on their way to defend Athlone. Patrick Sarsfield maintained a strong g arrison to defend the passage of the river. In August, 1690, he crossed t he Shannon with a select body of cavalry to destroy an ammunition tra in on its way to William of Orange, then besieging the City of Limerick. W ith the coming of peace after the Treaty of Limerick in 1691 the town beg an to take on its present day appearance. Most of the houses on Main Stre et and at the lower end of the town were built during the eighteenth centu ry. A distillery was erected at John's Street, about which Arthur Young wr ote in 1777 "The whisky stills at Killaloe trebled in five or six years ". Killaloe also had a flourishing woollen and cloth industry which employ ed over 150 people at five shillings a week. The two weekly markets wou ld indicate a certain prosperity among the farming classes in the second h alf of the eighteenth century. In 1793 the first Post Office was open ed in Killaloe. The nearest mail coach stop was at Birdhill. A foot messen ger conveyed the mail twice daily from there to Killaloe. In 1837 Killal oe consisted of one square, and a principal and several smaller streets, a nd contained about 300 houses. Above and below the bridge there were numer ous eel weirs as well as a salmon fishery. A spirit of cheerful industry a nd enterprise seemed to promise much for the increasing prosperity of t he town. The Shannon Steam Navigation Company had their headquarters he re and had established a regular communication by steam packets for goo ds and passengers up the Shannon, through Lough Derg to Portumna, Athlon e, and Banagher, and from Banagher by canal boats to Dublin. The company a lso afforded employment to a great number of people in the construction a nd repair of docks and warehouses. Below the bridge was a ridge of rocks o ver which the river rushed with a great noise. Many a Viking raider must h ave cursed this obstacle but the thought of all the plunder to be had alo ng the shores and islands of the Shannon would have spurred these hardy pi rates on. The Shannon Steam Navigation Company, however, constructed a can al through the bishop's demesne, avoiding the rocks, and joined the riv er beyond the falls. From there their steam boats continued down riv er to the pier head above O'Briens Bridge.In 1837 Lewis described the bishop's palace, Clarisford House, as "fine ly situated in a highly improved demesne, near the only ford across the ri ver into this county from that of Tipperary; the mansion is handsome a nd of modern appearance and, though small, forms a pleasant residence". T he representative body of the Church of Ireland sold the property in 1977.
During the famine years the town of Killaloe lost 191 people. Between 18 41 and 1851 the number of inhabited houses in the parish dropped from 1,2 53 to 920. In Killaloe 50 houses were listed as unoccupied in 1851, the nu mber of mud cabins fell from 38 in 1841 to 4. By 1861 the parish had lo st a total of 441 families.
In the nineteenth century Killaloe was described as being pleasantly situa ted on rising ground on the western bank of the Shannon, near the noted fa lls of Killaloe and connected with the County of Tipperary by a brid ge of thirteen arches. The falls have since vanished beneath the higher wa ters necessary for the implementation of the Hydroelectric Scheme.After the attack on Scariff R.I.C. Barracks in 1920 the Auxiliaries search ed the countryside for people suspected of involvement. They found three m en in hiding in Williamstown House. They were Alfie Rogers and Brud McMah on from Scariff and Martin Gildea from Galway. Micheal Egan from Whitega te was caretaker at Williamstown House and he was also captured. Two other s, John and Michael Conway were captured en route and all six were tak en by boat to Killaloe. The boat landed at the jetty of the Lakeside Hote l. After questioning in the hotel the Conway brothers were released. The o ther four were taken to the bridge at Killaloe around midnight where th ey were shot. A small concrete bunker can now be seen on the Killaloe si de of the bridge, as a reminder of this event during the Troubles.Today's Killaloe is no longer the capital of Ireland or Clare but it is st ill the water capital of Lough Derg and the southern limit of the recommen ded navigable part of the Shannon by small craft. The Shannon hydroelectr ic scheme created an artificial lake between Lough Derg, which acts as t he main reservoir, and the weir at O'Brien's Bridge farther down river. Ki llaloe is the most important boating and fishing centre within the three c ounties of Clare, Limerick and Tipperary. There are facilities for saili ng and a large marina. Hector Newenham introduced water skiing to Killal oe in 1956. By 1958 it had become a regular sport here and spread to the r est of Ireland. Today, fishing, cruising, boating, sailing, swimming, wind -sailing and water skiing are all well catered for, while all arou nd is a rich heritage waiting to be explored.

W. by N.) from Killaloe and 943 /4 (W. by S.) from Dublin, on the road from Killaloe to Williamstown and P ortumna; containing 761 inhabitants. It is situated on the river Scarif f, which flows into the picturesque bay of the same name, opening into Lou gh Derg on the Shannon, and might be easily made navigable from the b ay to Lough Grady, about a mile above the town : the river is here cross ed by a bridge of three arches. This is a pleasing little town, occupyi ng an ascent from the river, and consisting chiefly of one main stre et : in 1831 it contained 120 houses, some of which are neatly built. An e xcellent new and level road, which has been lately constructed between Kil laloe and Williamstown, chiefly along the shores of Lough Derg, passes thr ough the town. Here are extensive oil and flour-mills, and a considerab le number of coarse hats are manufactured in the immediate vicinity. Fai rs are held monthly. A smelting furnace for iron was formerly in full wo rk here. In the R. C. divisions it gives name to a union or district, comp rising the north-eastern part of the parish of Tomgraney, and the entire p arish of Moynoe, and containing the chapels of Scariff and Knock O'Grad y. During the disturbances, in 1831, an encampment was formed on Shene hil l, in the vicinity, which was occupied for two months by a party of the mi litary.From County Clare A History and Topography by Samuel Lewis.
