- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)century. The road passing through Kiltycreevagh was made after the famine of 1846 as a relief work. It was not easy to get a ganger or a timekeeper at that time as very few could read or write. Kiltycreevagh is a very large townland and there are over fifty families and almost two hundred people. Donnelly is the most common name and them McKenna. The land is fairly good and the holdings are small. It was in a McKenna house that General Blake was waked after being executed in 1798 and the same people carried his body to Tubber Patrick cemetery and there buried it. The oldest inhabitant in Kiltycreevagh is Michael Grimes aged 86. He tells plenty of stories and sean [?] in English but knows no Irish. Patrick Dolan aged 80 years has Irish salutations which he heard from his grandmother.
Irish is dead in this district about seventy years. At that time plenty of the old people knew it but the Priest discouraged them from speaking it to the young people and so it died.
