Death of Mrs. Margaret Holland, Kilfane. (1915) One of the oldest and most highly respected residents of the parish of Tullaherin passed away on Thursday the 9th April, in the person of Mrs. Margaret Holland, Kilfane, Thomastown. The deceased had attained the remarkable age of 94 years and had the unique privalege of being a great-grandmother previous to her death. In her last illness she was constantly attended by Rev. W. Connolly, P.P., and Rev. A. Lowry, C.C. Tullaherin, and passed away peacefully surrounded by her devoted relatives, to whom we tender our sincere sympathy. On Saturday the funeral took place to Kilfane. The attendance was large and representative of all creeds and classes in the district.
