Deaths.
Nationalist 1922. (abbreviated transcriptions)
Mrs Donnelly , Broughillstown, Rathvilly.
With feelings of deepest regret we chronicle the death of Mrs C.
Donnelly, which sad event occurred at her residence on Sunday
last. Deceased lady, who had reached a ripe old age, was in
failing health for some years.
Two daughters entered the religious life, and one of her sons,
Rev. P. Donnelly, Carlow is one of the most popular priests in
the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin. She was mother of Ger
Donnelly, a respected Carlow citizen, and also John Donnelly,
who was recently liberated from Ballykinlar Camp. Her husband,
Mr. J. Donnelly, has reached the patriarchal age of 94 years.
Maria McGrath, Cloneen, Bagnalstown, Carlow.
Miss Maria (Babs) McGrath died on January 3rd at 21 years of
age. Her illness although not prolonged she bore with all the
fortitude and patience that might have done credit to one
experienced in the trials and crosses of the world. Her parents did their upmost in accruing her the best medical
treatment, but at length it became evident that she was not for
this world. That she was too good for this world is the
sentiment expressed by everyone with whom she was acquainted.
The end was peaceful and happy , and befitted a life that was
considered by all who knew her to be exemplary. The chief
mourners were:- John McGrath (father) James McGrath (brother)
John Cummins and James Cummins (uncles) Edward Murphy and James
Walsh (uncles).
The above is a true and
accurate transcript of the original document.
