- Last Sunday evening I visited Kilbrogan Grave-yard. I first went to the old ruins of Kilbrogan Chapel. What a change has come over the chapel! Long ago in that place there stood a small tidy chapel. Now there is hardly anything left of it except the old ruins and instead of the flowers which grew there long ago now grow weeds.A great change has come over the graveyard itself. Now there are paths covered with gravel running through the graveyard. Before there was hardly a path in the grave yard at all. The graves now are kept very well.In every grave there are flowers and plants of every description. At each side of the grave yard there is a row of beautiful evergreens. In the grave yard there are some beautiful headstones, some of which are made of marble and others of stone.
