OBITUARY
The death of Mary Agnes Kelehan (nee Fitzgerald) Newcastle, Galway and formerly of The Junction Bar, Camp occurred on Monday last. She had reached the great old age of 93. Mary Agnes will be fondly remembered for her caring nature and kindness to everybody. Her home was an open door to the many young people from Camp attending college in Galway down through the years. She never forgot her roots and was a lifelong Kerry supporter. Mary Agnes was predeceased by her husband Bartley and daughters Marion and Philomena and grandchildren Robert and John. She is survived by her sons, Peter, Michael, Bertie, John and Austin, daughters Margaret, Clare and Carmel and the Fitzgerald and Lane families of Camp. Sympathy is extended to all. May she Rest In Peace.
The death of John Paul O Brien, Flemingstown, Annascaul really heralds the end of an era. John Paul was a man of many parts, a farmer all of his life, John Paul was also a very skilled electrician known the length and breadth of the county installing milking machines. He could in fact turn his hand to anything. He was our Auctioneer for many years at the annual Sale of Work in Camp and he contested the local elections in the Dingle Electoral area as an independent on a number of occasions. He was a community man too, campaigning on many issues of local concern in the peninsula over the years. He is survived by his wife Eileen to whom sympathy is extended. May he Rest in Peace.
