   very large monument on the grave, which was erected in his honour by his friends and relatives. This man's life - was indeed short lived , as he died at a very early age. He gave his life for his Motherland at the time of the struggle for the land. He worked as a tailor in Moville, by day, but instead of resting at night, he sat up and prepared speeches, which were to encourage the people. He died in the year 1882, and the funeral was said to have been the biggest ever seen in this district. The inscription on the monument reads as follows:-

He died a martyr in her cause on the 10 th July, 1882 ".
   This inscription is engraved on a marble slab which is surmounted
