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.
