The death from pneumonia has taken place at New Ross, of the Right Rev. Dean Kavanagh, D.D., V.G., New Ross. Born at Scar Castle, Duncormack, 75 years ago, he early evinced a desire for the priesthood, and, entering Maynooth, he had a most distinguished college career. After ordination he was appointed Professor at St. Peter's College, Wexford, and in 1888 to the pastorate of New Ross. There he effected vast improvements, among other monuments to his name and abilities being the beautiful parish church and presbytery, erected at a. cost of £30,000. Two years ago he celebrated the golden jubilee of his priesthood and the silver jubilee of his pastorate of New Ross.
