THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Monday, October 11, 1824 DIED On last Friday, of a lingering illness, in the 76th year of his age, 52 of which were spent in the active duties of his Ministry, the Very Reverend Denis Mannion, Dean and Vicar of the College Church of Saint Nicholas. This verable [sic] and truly edifying Pastor has departed amid the tears and blessings of a numerous acquaintance, attached to him by the amiable innocency of his disposition, his pious and Christian-like demeanour, and the varied & extensive acquirements of his mind; - his sympathy and his purse were never denied to the children of adversity, and whilst he indulged without reserve in this charitable disposition he was left to die in the Apostolic spirit, without the means of defraying the expense of his burial. His virtues are fresh in the memory of Galway; and while other names descend to oblivion, his will be remembered with blessings and with praise.
