    When he had seen the newcomer he pulled up, and asked the man if he was looking for employment but McDonagh wishing to continue his travelling only wanted a few day's work. The young man asked him if he was a Tipperary man and on hearing he was he asked him if he knew "Callaghan's Height". The man happened to be born near it so he told him all about it. Then the Canadian told him he that he was only a wee child when he was evicted from that home. "Come in" he said "and see my aged mother". The old woman who was feeble was sitting in the corner. After a few remarks from McDonagh the old woman burst into tears as she thought of her happy days in Ireland, and poor Father Warren and how she prayed for him. Well, she remembered, the morning he escaped death, and herself evicted and thrown on the roadside and her grand little homestead burned down and the land given to a Cromwellian soldier, Langley.
    She offered McDonagh a foreman's job for the remainder of his life but McDonagh slipped away after a few days stay and returned home. He died in 1926 at an old age in his native place of Ballinacurry.
