Edmund Haberlin (c. 1842-1907) of Aylwardstown, Glenmore [Death reported in the New Ross Standard on the 19th of July 1907]

SUICIDE AT GLENMORE. A blacksmith named Haberlin, residing at Glenmore, in the county Kilkenny, committed suicide on Saturday by hanging himself in an outhouse close to his home. A son of the deceased discovered his father in the outhouse, but by that time life appears to have been extinct. The defendant was a very industrious man, and much sympathy is felt for his relatives.

An inquest was held-on Monday, where a jury, having Wm. Hutchinson as foreman, was sworn. Evidence was given by deceased’s widow that the man was 65 years of age, had ceased work for some time past owing to advancing years, and that for a few days before his death he was depressed. Medical evidence being given, a verdict of suicide during temporary insanity was returned.

[Editorial note the first name Edmund was the name recorded on the death registry and provided by the coroner after the inquest held on the 17th of July 1907.]

Margaret Haberlin (c. 1888 -1932) of Aylwardstown, Glenmore [Obit in Munster Express, Fri. 8 Jan. 1932, p. 2]

COLLAPSE IN INFIRMARY—At the Co. and City Infirmary, Waterford, on Mon., Dr. Kennedy, Coroner, returned a verdict of death from heart failure following bronchitis and asthma at an inquest touching the death of Mrs. Margaret Haberlin, Glenmore, who collapsed at the Infirmary and died as she was about to be taken in the lift to a ward.

Dr. J. J. Hogan deposed that deceased was admitted into the County and City Infirmary about 11.45 that morning. He was called urgently about that time by the Sister on duty to the main hall of the Infirmary and found the deceased lying on the floor, being supported by two nurses. She was pulseless, and, in his opinion, then dead. He ministered restoratives without any effect. From the history of the case as given to him he had no doubt the cause of death was heart failure, supervening on chronic bronchitis and asthma.

John Haberlin, a blacksmith and farmer, husband of the deceased, said she was aged 44 years. She was suffering fairly constantly from illness for the past three years. Her complaint was lung trouble. About three weeks ago she got very ill and was confined to bed. She was attended by Dr. Fitzgerald, New Ross. He was in attendance yesterday morning, when he said her heart was weak and she had bronchitis and asthma. Dr. Fitzgerald recommended her removal to the County and City Infirmary, and that morning she was removed in a car owned by Rev. Father Gibbons, D.D., Glenmore.

She was seemingly improved when Father Gibbons arrived to take her to Waterford, and she was able to walk, with help, to the car outside. The nurses took charge of her at the hospital, and he did not go inside. When parting she gave instructions as to things she wanted done. He was called to the Infirmary a few minutes later, and when he saw her she was dead.

Nurse Elizabeth O’Connor deposed she was a trained nurse in the County and City Infirmary. On that morning at about 11.45 a.m. she was called with another nurse to assist a patient into the hospital. With the assistance of the other nurse the patient walked in. She spoke and said she felt very hot, that the shawl had slipped off her head. They were in the hallway at the lift when she said: “I feel I am going to faint.” At the same time she collapsed between them, they still holding her. The doctor was summoned by Sister Agnes, who saw the woman fall. Dr. Hogan came at once.

On Holiday from America—Mr. Michael Hanrahan, Long Island. New York, arrived at Shannon Airport on Wednesday to spend a holiday in his native Glenmore. A member of a very well-known Co. Kilkenny family, he emigrated about forty-five years ago and he was last home in 1948. Prior to emigrating, he was very prominent in G.A.A. circles in his native Glenmore, and he assisted Kilkenny for many years after he went to New York. He was manager of the New York team that played in the Tailteann Games in 1928, and played with that team in a game at Wexford Park.

He is brother of Mr. Dick Hanrahan, North St., New Ross, who was regarded as one of the best footballers in the country until a knee injury forced him to retire prematurely from the game. Although a Kilkenny man, Dick played most of his football in Wexford. He would undoubtedly have been on the Wexford team that won four All-Ireland titles in a row had he not sustained a knee injury in the 1914 final. He was also a very fine hurler and athlete. Another brother, Mr. Jimmy Hanrahan, Nth. Street, is probably best known for the feats of his greyhounds on the track and coursing fields, but in his younger days, he was an outstanding inter-county hurler. Another brother, John, was home on holidays from the U.S.A.
