Excerpt from The Last Resting Places of Notable Irishmen: With Biographical Notes and Other Interesting Particulars The need for locating the last resting places of notable Irishmen is obvious. To future generations is made easier the task of identifying the burial places of men whose names have become historic. The descriptive matter and the facts are as accurate as possible. It may be feasible at no distant date to include the names of those who deserve inclusion in such a work as this, and who are omitted from its pages. Nothing further that I could add would be more fitting in conclusion than John Kells Ingram's lines - "Some on the shores of distant lands, Their weary hearts are laid, And by the strangers' heedless hands, Their lonely graves were made. The dust of some is Irish earth, Among their own they rest, The same land that gave them birth, Has caught them to her breast.
