1. Old Graveyards

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There are interesting epitaphs in some old graveyards. There is one in [?] near Clogherhead worded:-

   Beneath this stone here lieth one,
   Whom all his friends did please,
   I hope to Heaven his soul is gone.
   To find eternal ease.
   He drank He sang,
   While here on earth.
   As happy as a lord
   So now he has resigned his breath
   God rest him - Paddy Ward
   Died September 12th 1783.

   A priest at a later date thought it very unsuitable to have such an epitaph on a tombstone and got it taken off, but other authorities said he had not right to do so & made him get it done in the same manner again & it remains there still.
   Near Drumconrath, Co Meath, Admiral Singleton gave some land for a new burial ground but he died himself before it was marked out & was the first to be buried there.
