Inscription

This Irish Priest Came To Us Back At The Time Of The First World War. He Served Us As "Another Christ" Until 1928, And Directed The Building Of Church And Rectory And School On The Old County Road, Through His Own Personal Effort And Money.

He Gave Those Of The Holy Faith This Burial Ground Of Saint Paul Cemetery. His Foresight Allows Us To Continue To Bury Our Beloved Dead In Hallowed Ground. Bishop John Swint Called Him To Corpus Christi. Warwood, West Virginia, And It Was There He Died.

His Bones Rest With Fellow Priests In Mount Calvary Cemetery, Wheeling, West Virginia. But We Who Keep The Faith He Helped Pass On Thank Him Prayerfully For Giving Us This Blessed Cemetery.

May The Deep Peace Of Christ, May The Quiet Peace Of The Good God, Remain With Him And All Those Priest Who Served Us Through The Years.

DIED JANUARY 27, 1934

A PRIEST FOREVER
