Weathered, undated newspaper clipping

Post by Anne Chambers »

Perhaps this clipping can help someone in their search.<br>It reads as follows:<br>CASTLEREA NOTES<br>THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD<br>On Thursday last the anniversary of the deaths of Sean O'BERGIN and Stephen MacDERMOTT, who were killed in action of Loughglynn on the 19th April, 1921, all shopkeepers in Castlerea closed their shops and the day was observed as a general holiday in the town. Solemn Requiem High Mass was celebrated in the parish church at 11 o'clock for the eternal repose of the souls of the deceased soldiers and in the afternoon the local Brigade paraded to Baslick cemetery where Mr. MacDermott is interred. Mr. O'Brien belonged to the Co. Tipperary and is buried there. A Brigade review of the troops was afterwards held in the Demesne by Comdt.-Genl. T. MAGUIRE, T.D. The weather was beautifully fine and the whole display was very imposing and impressive.
