- (continued from previous page)There is a tradition that this good old man met his death under suspicious circumstances. He had been called to attend a Catholic servant who was dying in Parteen House, then owned by a Protestant landlord. When leaving the house the owner invited him to have a drink which the priest accepted. He died on the avenue on the way out and the suspicion as to his sudden death rests on that proferred drink, beforehand. He is buried at Cragg churchyard, where a large flat stone marks his grave. After his death Birdhill was united to Newport and Killoscully to Ballinahinch.
