KILDARE, IRELAND SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1859 [Carlow Weekly News] SUDDEN DEATH – On Saturday night last, a young man named John Abbot, teacher of the Barrow-house National School, near Maganey, in the County of Kildare, retired to rest, apparently in good health but not making his appearance as usual the following morning, enquires were made about him, when, on entering his bed-room, his lifeless body, which was not quite cold, was found in a kneeling position, as if at prayers. An inquest was held on the body the following day, by one of the coroners for the County Kildare. The jury returned a verdict of "Death by the visitation of God."
