September 1915, according to this version - www.irishbrigade.eu/other-men/gaffney/gaffney.html

beachcomber australia I will update the date.

beachcomber australia I'm confused. It says (September 1915) under the photo in that Gaffney piece, but the text that follows says...

1915 Aug 24 The "celebrated" Lunch in Munich at which Gaffney was the host and Casement a guest. Gaffey was later dismissed by the US governemnt as Consul because of this.

Rough and ready translation: "The well-known (lit. oft-mentioned) Irish MP, Sir Roger Casement, against whom the British envoy, Lord Findlay, eho is still in office, arranged an murder attempt in Oslo by bribing the Irish leader's servant, with the American consul-general Gaffney in the Preysing Palais restaurant in Munich."

John Spooner BA (German Language and Literature)

Learning to read Frakturschrift in 1976-ish was going to come in handy one day, and today's the day.

John Spooner The right man in the right place at the right time. Absolut fantastisch!!

The original college

It is gone from the hill and the glen,
The strong speech of our sires,
It is sunk in the mire and the fen
Of our nameless desires.
We have bartered the speech of the Gael
For a tongue that would pay,
And we stand with the lips of us pale
And bloodless today.
We have bartered the birth-right of men,
That our sons should be liars.
It is gone from the hill and the glen,
The strong speech of our sires.

Like the flicker of gold on the whin
That the Spring breath unites,
It is deep in our hearts and shall win
Into flame where it smites.
It is there with the blood in our veins,
With the stream in the glen,
With the hill and the heath, and the wains
Shall think it again.
It shall surge to their lips and shall win
The high road of our rights,
Like the flicker of gold on the wind
That the sunburst unites.

Roger Casement

The Frontier Sentinel of Saturday 11 August 1956 mentioned the previous week's "Golden Jubilee celebrations at Cloughaneely Irish College", which suggests an earliest date of 1906.

Sir Roger Casement 1864 - 1916, and this photo is 1920. Hmmm...

There's a Scarborough & co based out of Milford, NH, that would be old enough. They seem to have been a soap company, so this may not be them.

The post office sign reads "River Junction, FLA", the photo is catalogued "River Junction, Florida" by the NLI, and the text on the back of the photo reads "River Junction, Florida"

Here's a transcript of a newspaper article on the history of River Junction, Florida:

With those biodegradable building styles, it could easily be round here and we'd never prove it: goo.gl/maps/14Ao4vpe1cpc5ke98

Perhaps the photo was taken around here?
