    He lived and worked among the people when there was a sort of plague. The people died like flies with it. Although he was ill with the disease, he kept working away - visiting the sick. He was out on sick-calls "tonight and was dead in the morning". Some people say this stone was over his grave.
    He died in 1847.
    The people who died at that time were thrown into a hole at the Old Quarry, just under - in the flat - and east from the County Home Buildings CK on Shannon.
