I was also sent one other obituary that someone may be interested in:
Fr. John McMonagle - Derry Journal dated 04 March 1949
"He died after a short illness, was a nephew of late Rev J. Toner, late C.C.
Drumoghill. The youngest son of Mr. Cornelius and Mrs. McMonagle,
Kirkstown. He studied at All Hallows, Dublin, completing his theological
studies in Kilkenny and was ordained in the Cathedral there in June 1921.
After a few months he went to New Zealand where he spent his entire
missionary life. He was Parish Priest of Dalfield, Canterbury. He paid one
visit home, some thirteen years ago, spending a year with his brother, the
late Edward McMonagle, at Leckview, Letterkenny. He was 54 years of age.
Other brothers of the deceased, Patrick and Joseph McMonagle are in
Scotland. Peter and Corneilus are in America. His sister, Mary, is also in
U.S.A. He was predeceased also by his sister, Annie, London and brother James who
lived in Letterkenny."
