The Friday night party got a damper with the news of the death of Billy Duffy of Clondelara on Friday evening.Billy had been sick in Portiuncula Hospital for the past few weeks with a heart complaint.His removal to Shannonbridge Church took place last evening with the burial in Clonmacnois today after Mass at noon. May he rest in peace.
Another funeral with local connections was that of Mrs Cox of Clononey whose remains went to High Street church last evening and the burial was in Banagher today after Mass at noon. Mrs Ned Hendricks and Mrs Seamus Taylor were daughters of the lady.
The Lord have mercy on her soul.
