    1. [COUNTYCORK] County Cork Examiner 13 July 1893 PT.2
    2. County Cork Examiner 13 July 1893 PT.2 pg.5 THE LIGHTNING FATALITY AT KNOCKS. "Sergeant Aiken, Ballineen, communicated to the Coroner Dr. Somerville, the partizulars of the calamity at Knocks, and received a reply that under the circumstances it was unnecessary to hold an inquest. The funerals of the men, Patrick Neill and Patrick Sullivan, killed on the occasion, took place yesterday; the former was interred at Desert and the latter at (Kilnagross ?). Both were largely attended. The two men injured are progressing favorably. During the thunderstorm that prevailed on Monday evening the chimney of the Castletown-Kinneigh schools was blown off and the gable and roof damaged. The storm was the fiercest and most terrific that ever occurred in the district, causing consternation and alarm, and will be remembered for a long time by the inhabitants." I would like to find out where Patrick Neill from Knocks is buried in Desert and who the other two men who got hurt were ? Thank you Aine
