Here's another interesting Death notice I came across in the Irish Times from October 7, 1961 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CAPTAIN J. GILLESPIE The death has occurred of Captain Jack Gillespie, former legal assistant to the Northern Ireland Hospitals Authority, at his home in Belfast, age 67. Captain Gillespie was a native of Castleblayney. Educated at Dungannon Royal School and Trinity College, Dublin he served in the First World War with the 58th Highland Division and became a Captain and was awarded the M.C. After the war he resumed his legal career and was called to the Bar. For some years he was appointed to the Land Commission. In his younger years he was a keen rugby player and was President of the Northern Union in 1927/28. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Raymond Pritchard, who is at present living in Singapore, and by one brother and three sisters. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I was reading elsewhere that he stood for election as an Independent for Monaghan in the 1938 election. George C. Graham, a relation of mine, joined him in the practice of law in Castleblayney, and eventually took over his practice. If anyone has any other details on Capt. Jack Gillespie, or his family, I would be interested in hearing from you. Brian --------------------------------- Be smarter than spam.
