  1. There are two graveyards in the parish of Bonnicoulon. One of them is in Kilgarvin and the other is in Bonniconlon. The graveyard in Bonniconlon is a new on but the one in Kilgarvin is very old. There is only one person buried in Bonniconlon graveyard yet. That burial took place last Friday.
    There is not anything tidy in Kilgarvin. It is badly laid out I thing the graveyard in Bonniconlon will be better laid out than the one in Kilgarvin.
    St. Gairivín had a church in Kilgarvin. There is not any part of it to be seen now. It is from St. Gairivín and his chapel that Kilgarvin got its name.
