How did I not think of this one before ?? The Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.) has a searchable set of newspapers
from 1890 to 1910, online although having the usual deficiencies of optical recognition. There is a Kentucky paper which
provided all sorts of news from back home in Ireland, including the 1902 incident in which Kilkishen National School teacher Francis Cuneen received a head wound from an irate pub patron. There are hundreds of articles dealing with Clare. So,
go to it: http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica/s ... anced.html
