- It is with great sorrow I record today 13th July 1936 the death of my old friend John Clancy Faughill. To him, more than any man in this area am I indebted for the many tales and historical sketches that are to be found in this book. To me John was the personification of the Grand Old Life of Gael that alas is quickly passing away with his store of golden legends.
Ar dheis láimh Dé go rabh a ainm.
Peadar Mac Giolla Coinnigh 13/7/36 - I
Tá gaoth throm na marbh ag séideadhI sráid-bhaile Fá Choill induí,Ta neálta an bhróin ins na speárthaibh'S n'íl deallramh na gréine gan truagh;Níl saothar na meala ag beacaibh,Níl ceiléabhair ag éanaibh mar chóir,Tá an cumha ar óg is ar aostaAn frás guirt(?) is sileadh na ndeór.
