   Shawn O'Connor Day was a shopkeeper in Knocknagoshel village, during the Famine and the lean years that followed it. He became famed for his charity and consideration towards his customers who were in great want. He gave credit freely and never pressed for payment. He even gave food to the starving, free of charge.

   His descendants are shopkeeping at the present time in Knocknagoshel - a village which is known locally as the "Mall." This song, in his praise was composed by Patrick Robinson, Loughfouder.

   
   To honour true nobility a bard of poor ability,
   With courteous affability, this non-poetic lay
   Bequeaths a grateful populace, as all demand unanimous
   To make the name magnanimous of "John O'Connor Day."
   His deeds of pure humanity were doled with such urbanity
   As freed from pride or vanity his venerated name
   And made it's lustr'd brilliancy so bright in Christian heraldry
   That we inscribe his memory on the pinnacle of fame

   
   Justice, worth and charity, Suavity for poverty,
   Integrity and probity characterised his mien
