THE MULVIHILL VOICE
The music of Martin Mulvihill has astounded lovers of Irish music for
decades. The renowned fiddle player, teacher and composer, originally
from
Ballygouglin, near Glin, Co. Limerick, was taught to play the fiddle
as an 8-year-old child by his mother, Brigid Flynn, who played fiddle
and concertina. She hailed from a family of fiddle players herself.
Recording artist and fiddle player Brendan Mulvihill, Martin’s son,
has just released a comprehensive box set with easy-to-read sheet
music of traditional Irish tunes that his famous father collected over
his long career.
Four volumes are now offered for sale, in two spiral bound books. Over
2,300 tunes are included along with biographical information on many
of the
130 musicians, living and dead, whose music Martin admired and played.

Vigo County Historical Society- Civil War: Jerry Fitzgerald
Jerry Fitzgerald- native of Kerry County, Ireland, bakery owner and
Vigo County Clerk Jeremiah Fitzgerald is best remembered for saving
Memorial Hall from condemnation in 1920-21. Fitzgerald was 19 years
old when he migrated to the U.S. in 1892, first locating in Mattoon,
Ill. He moved to Vigo County two years later and wed Mary Holland of
St. Mary’s Village in 1897. Jerry went to work as a deliveryman for
Louis Gerhardt’s Bakery at 724 S. 12th St. The Jerry Fitzgerald (third
from left) celebrates his Fitzgerald’s initially resided at 61st
birthday with bakery employees in 1934 605 S. 13th St., and began
raising three children: Margaret, born in 1900; Joseph, born in 1904;
and Raymond, born in 1906, the year Jeremiah was naturalized. In 1910,
after Gerhardt was elected mayor of Terre Haute, Fitzgerald decided to
establish his own bakery. Jerry’s Bakery at 209 Ohio St. had a modest
beginning but, by adhering to high standards, Fitzgerald soon acquired
two adjoining buildings and modern oven equipment. Fitzgerald offered
Kew-Bee and Pullman bread, Irish bread, rye bread, Ralston Purina
whole wheat bread, raisin bread and a full line of cookies, buns and
rolls. Eventually, Fitzgerald was invited to join the Quality Bakers
of America, a non-profit organization which tendered memberships only
to bakeries long maintaining a reputation for excellence. In 1923 Carl
T. Lundstrom, formerly of Sparks Milling Co., joined the business and
the two men incorporated as Fitzgerald Baking Co. Meanwhile, Jerry
became a community hero by forming a citizens committee in 1920 to
“Save Memorial Hall,” located next door to his bakery. The building
now houses Kesler Law Offices. Prior to being acquired by the Memorial
Hall Association from miniature artist Amalia Kussner Coudert in 1911,
the former Second State Bank of Indiana (predecessor of First
Financial Bank)–built between 1834 and 1836–was a collectibles shop
and fell into disrepair. Though the original structure’s tin ceiling
dome was replaced by art glass and the exterior received a complete
refurbishing, the Indiana State Fire Marshal threatened to condemn it.
On Oct. 21, 1921, Fitzgerald’s fund-raising efforts reached fruition
at the “rededication” of renovated Memorial Hall. The front room was
converted into an auditorium and the art glass in the ceiling dome was
replaced by 18 tinted portraits of significant Vigo County Civil War
soldiers and past bank officers. Long active in Democratic politics,
Fitzgerald was elected Vigo County Clerk in 1932. He did not complete
his first term, passing away at the family residence at 1826 Ohio St.
on May 27, 1935, at age 62, after a two-month illness. Active in the
Knights of Columbus, the Ancient Order of Hibernians and St. Patrick’s
Church, Jerry is interred at Calvary Cemetery. His widow was named
chief deputy clerk by his successor, Catherine S. Fee. The buildings
that housed the Ohio Street bakery were sold to Bell Bakeries. The
Lundstroms located Fitzgerald Baking Co. at 13th and Crawford streets.
It eventually became Ideal-Fitzgerald Baking Co., involving other
principals.

Sick notes used to sign people off work could be overhauled under
plans to slash unemployment, Liz Kendall has revealed, as she refused
to rule out further benefit cuts.
The Work and Pensions Secretary said the process was being looked as
part of moves to stop people falling out of the workforce due to a
health issue.
Speaking to The i Paper, Kendall – who announced billions of pounds in
welfare savings in a bid to reduce levels of people claiming
disability and out of work incapacity benefits – said she could not
rule out having to introduce future cuts in the economic climate.

“For me, God is my reason for being.”
Sister Ángeles Sendín Corral shared a message full of faith, which
moved hearts across social media.
In an interview with educational psychologist Sergi Vidal, the Spanish
nun of the Society of Saint Teresa of Jesus emphasized that for her,
God is everything. Without Him, she said, her life has no meaning.
“For me, God is my reason for being. I can’t conceive of myself if
I don’t think of Him. That is, there are days when I argue with Him,
others when I love Him very much, and others… But without Him, my
life has no meaning.”
