DONERAILE PARISH - CHURCH GRAVEYARD (2)
    [From Major J. Grove White, 57th Regt.]
    
It is more than pleasant to record the following account of 
the care bestowed on this burial-ground.  We wish we could 
record other similar cases:-

'This churchyard is kept very neat, through the exertions of 
Mr. David Roche, of Doneraile, churchwarden.  It is a credit 
to the parish.  I have seen no churchyard in Ireland better 
cared for.' - J.G.W., Major

'The following appear from the Parish Registers to have been 
buried in the churchyard, but the tombstones to their memory 
have disappeared':-

"JOHN WHITE, Esq., of Kilbyrne (Kilburn), near Doneraile, 
buried 24 May, 1754." 
_______________

"ANNE WHITE (FOWLEE), wife of above, died 12 June, 1745." 
_______________

"JOHN WHITE, 2nd child of above, buried 26 July, 1741, aged 
14 years."

"JAMES WHITE, Esq., of Kilbyrne, buried 16 November, 1780, 
aged 52." 
_______________

"GROVE WHITE, Esq., of Kingstown, near Doneraile, died 1768, 
aged 38 years."

'In his will he desired to be buried in the family 
burial-place.  There is now (1894) no sign of his old family 
site.'
