Lieut. Commander William John Ahern The sinking of the Lusitania is recalled by the death at the age of 83 years, of Lieut. Commander Wm. Ahern, D. S. C., R. N. (retired) at his residence, Beechmount, Cove. Joining the Royal Navy as a boy he quickly reached commissioned rank and he was in command of the torpedo flotilla at Cork Harbour during the first world war. His boat, O.52 was the first vessel by half an hour to arrive at the scene of the sinking of the Lusitania, and he took aboard a large number of survivors, three of whom died on the way back to the harbour. Later his vessel was credited with the sinking of a German submarine off the Cork coast for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. — Cork Evening Echo 5 February 1946

NAVAL VETERAN. Death of Lieut.-Commander W. Ahern, Cove. The death took place, after a short illness, at his residence Beechmount, Cove, of Lieut. Commander William Ahern, R.N. (retired). Deceased, who was a native of the town, joined the British Navy as a boy, and during his service took part in a number of wars. In the Anglo- Egyptian campaign, of 1882, he participated in the bombardment of Alexandria, and it was a coincidence that on the 60th anniversary of that engagement, his grandson, Lieut. Malcolm English, should be called upon while serving also with the British Navy, to take part in an attack on the same port in 1942; when it was occupied by the Italians. Following some service aboard a training ship in Cork Harbour, deceased was sent to take part in the Boer War, and he was one of the first party of sailors to land in South Africa. Later he saw service aboard the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet. He retired with the rank of Warrant Officer in 1912. During the World War No. 1, deceased was recalled to active service and commanded a flotilla of torpedo boats in Cork Harbour throughout the conflict. He was promoted Lieutenant in 1915, and shortly afterwards was awarded the D.S.C. for service rendered to the destroyer "Marlay" when she grounded off Cork Harbour. He also rendered valuable assistance when the Cunard Liner "Lusitania" was torpedoed off the Old Head of Kinsale. His boat, O.52, was the first vessel by half an hour to arrive at the scene of the sinking of the Lusitania and he took aboard a large number of survivors, three of whom died on the way back to the harbour. Later his vessell was credited with the sinking of a German submarine off the Cork coast. He finally retired with the rank of Lieutenant-Commander at the conclusion of the 1914-1918 war. Many of his comrades were amongst the representative cortege which followed the remains when they were removed yesterday from St. Colman's Cathedral to the Old Church cemetery. Rev. T. F. Murphy, C.C., assisted by Ver. Rev. D. O'Connor, Adm., officiated at the graveside. The chief mourners were Mrs. H. English (daughter), Mr. S. English (son-in-law), Mr. Wm.

Ahern of Watertown, to hospital after he was struck by a truck at Merrimack and Central streets late yesterday afternoon. Ahern was pronounced dead upon arrival at St. John's hospital.    LOWELL — A 50-year-old Watertown man was instantly killed about 4.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon when he was struck by a huge tank truck on Merrimack street near Central street.    The victim, Andrew L. Ahern, of 26 Chauncey street, Watertown, was pronounced dead upon arrival at St. John's hospital where he was taken in the police department ambulance manned by Officer John McNiff and Chauffeur John Brodley. It was reported that he was employed in Billerica.    Operator of the vehicle, a fully loaded 15-ton tank truck owned by the Consolidated Rendering company of North Billerica, was David Valorose, 33, or [sic] 19 Apple street. Valorose stated that he did not see Ahern and was not aware of the tragedy until he heard a thump at the rear of his truck and heard screams.    Hospital officials reported that Ahern sustained numerous internal injuries including several broken ribs. He also suffered fractures of both legs and an ankle injury, it was reported. Probe Accident    Inspector Warren A. MacDonnell of the registry of motor vehicles and Officer Bernard Gilbo investigated the accident. Valorose told them that he was stopped at the intersection and upon receiving a “Go” signal from Officer Gilbo, made a right turn onto Merrimack street, when he felt the thump and heard the screams. He applied the brakes immediately to the slow-moving vehicle but apparently, the dual wheels on the truck passed over Ahern before it could be brought to a halt.    Although the streets in the area were jammed with pedestrians taking advantage of the excellent weather, authorities were unable to immediately procure the names of any witnesses to the tragedy. They are continuing their search for someone who could provide more information on the accident and asked the public's co-operation on the matter in an effort to bring about an accurate conclusion to their probe.    Ahern is survived by two sisters, Margaret T. Ring of Watertown, with whom he made his home and Mrs. Harry Fox of 9 Henstead road, Jamaica Plain, Boston. [see also: Patrick J. Ahern] — The Lowell Sun 1 February 1947

Edmond F. Ahern E. F. AHERN DIES Former Contractor Spanish-American War Veteran Had Served On Board of Welfare Edmond F. Ahern of 1 Webster Street, retired president of Welch and Company, general contractor, and former welfare commissioner died at his home Thursday night. He was 73. Mr. Ahern was stricken while shoveling snow at his home. He was born in Hartford October 3, 1874, a son of the late Daniel E. and Susan Howard Ahern. He had lived in this city all his life. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. He first entered the general construction business with his father and later was president of the Ahern and Welch Company. During his 40 years in the field he supervised the construction of many local schools and public buildings. Among the schools his firm constructed are Alfred E. Burr School, Washington Street School, Moylan School and St. Augustine's Parochial School. He also was in charge of building the Hartford Public Market, Pope Park recreational building and St. Augustine's Rectory. When St. Augustine's Church was enlarged at the beginning of the 1930's his firm was called on to take down the side walls of the church and reconstruct them several feet away. This feat was done without interrupting the regular church services and without the loss of a single stone. Mr. Ahern was chairman of the board of trustees of Harford Lodge No.19, BPOE, of which he has been a member since 1900. He was a trustee of St. Augustine's Church, a memeber of the Knights of Columbus, the Eight Ball Club, Holy Name Society of St. Augustine's Church, past captain of Charles L. Burdette Camp, USWV, a member of St. Augustine's Post, Catholic War Veterans. During the Spanish American War he served with Company K, First Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. He is a former member of Company B, First Regiment, Connecticut National Guard. He was a familiar fixture to members of the Elks and was in charge of repairs and building improvements to its clubhouse on Prospect Street for many years. He was a member of the commitee which started the annual Children's Party, sponsored by the Elks, Shriners and Knights of Columbus members 26 years ago and had attended each party. He was elected to serve on the Welfare Board in 1945, going out of office with the last board when the City Manager form of government was put into effect in January. Because of the esteem in which Mr. Ahern was held by members of the Elks the annual St. Patrick's Day Dance and Eight Ball Club Minstrel Show scheduled to be held at the clubhouse tonight has been postponed until March 20. Mr. Ahern leaves two daughters, Miss Katherine Ahern, and Mrs. Raymond G. Brown of Danvers, Mass; four sons, Daniel Ahern, Francis Ahern and David Ahern all of Hartford, and Howard Ahern of New Britain; four sisters, Miss Ellen Ahern, Miss Agnes Ahern, Mrs. Frank Perry and Mrs. Benjamin Caulfield, all of Hartford; seven grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Services will be held at the Ahern Funeral Home, 180 Farmington Avenue. Monday at 9:15 am followed by a solemn requiem mass at St. Augustine's Church at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in Mt. St. Benedict Cemetery. — Daily Courant 15 March 1948 [subsequent] Rev.Thomas P. Mulcahy, pastor of the church was celebrant, assisted by Rev. Martin Keane as deacon and Rev. John Cotter, subdeacon. Rev. Hohn Hannon, Rev. Stephen Grimvalsky, Rev. Edwin Eagan, MS., and Rev. Phillip Coholan, were present in the sanctuary. Music was furnished by the St. Augustine quartet. Father Mulcahy conducted the burial service. Bearers were Raymond Kilty, James Kilty and John Kilty, James Perry, Edward Daly and Edward Dennehy. Delegates from the Holy Name Society and Catholic War Veterans Post, No. 957 both of St.Austine's Church; the Knights of Columbus, Hartford Lodge of Elks, Hartford Eight Ball Club, members of the former Welfare Board and United Spanish War Veterans attended.
