News in Brief

There is a Mr Eugene Crean MP now perambulating

Roscommon who is held at his true value in his native

Cork. Last year when he stood as a Town Councillor he

was left at the very bottom of the poll when he

represented Queens County, the people got so tired of

him that they hunted him and he had to try elsewhere

and with all his frothy talk indoors he has shunned

the risk of jail like the pestilence. He is a

“Bounder” of the Hebrew gold variety who will never

risk his skin in prison.

On the night of Sunday last, between the hours of twelve and one, the

Drum,Co Roscommon, was maliciously set on fire by a party of incendiaries.

Thepoor man and family were buried asleep in bed, at the time, but were

providentially awakened by the suffocating impressions they were

receivingfrom the smoke, and escaped without injury. Their house and little

furniture, however, fell prey to the flames. This and former outrages,

Subject: Cryan research

Dear Kevin,

My name is Melinda Fountain, I am a college student in Upstate New York

the United States doing some research on my grandmother's Irish

heritage. Like so many Americans we don't have very well kept family

records, so I am starting my with grandmother's surname of Cryan and

trying

to go backward from there. I know that she was born in 1916 and that

both of her parents were immigrants from Ireland, but that's as far

back as I can go. This is quite a challenge! Since you have done such

extensive research

on the Cryan family I was wondering if you could let me know some basic

information, such as if the Cryan name is very common in Ireland (or

was) and depending on that answer if you have any advice on getting

started.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Melinda Fountain

On the question of how common the name of Cryan is - I

have never said the name to anyone without having to

spell it!! That's in Dublin anyway, down the country

is probably a bit different. Good luck with your

Death of Archdeacon Michael Cryan

The parish of Kiltimagh lost a much loved and

respected priest when Archdeacon Michael Cryan died at

Garden Hill Hospital, Sligo on March 12. Archdeacon

Cryan, or “Canon Cryan” as he was affectionately known

in the parish, had been hospitalised for some time and

news of his death was received with sorrow and regret

by all in the parish. He was brother of the late

Monsignor Paul Cryan, P.P. Swinford and was also

predeceased by his brother, Gerard. He had served as

parish priest since 1980 and on his retirement in 1995

he decided to stay on in Kiltimagh and lived with his

sister, Mary, in Cordarragh.

Canon Cryan was born in Ballymote, Co Sligo on May 19,

1920 and ordained to the priesthood in Maynooth

College in 1945. After his ordination he went to

England where he ministered in the diocese of

Nottingham in Leicester, Alfreton, Lincoln City and

Grimsby until he returned to Ireland in 1953 to work

as chaplain at the St. John of God Novitiate,

Ballinamore, Kiltimagh.

In 1954 he was transferred as chaplain to the Mercy

Convent in Collooney where he spent three years before

being appointed curate in Kilmactigue in 1957. In 1963

he was transferred to Charlestown and in 1970 he was

appointed Administrator in Tourlestrane where he

ministered for seven years. From 1977 until he was

appointed Parish Priest in Kiltimagh he was

Administrator at the Cathedral in Ballaghadereen. He

was appointed Canon in 1990 and Archdeacon in 1992.

During his time in Kiltimagh, Canon Cryan never spared

himself in the interests of his parishioners and after

many years of lobbying the various bodies he was a

happy and proud man on the day the new boys and girls

primary school was officially opened and blessed. He

also undertook a heavy workload in modernising the

church and grounds and always kept them in immaculate

condition. He was a man who was able to relate to

young people in a unique way and they also had a great

affection for him. But above all else he was a caring

and dedicated priest with a sense of humour who will

be remembered in the years ahead for his many acts of

kindness and, especially, for his concern for the sick

and elderly.

Removal took place from his residence to the Church of

the Holy Family and the Requiem Mass on the following

day was celebrated by Bishop of Achonry, Dr. Thomas

Flynn. He was assisted by three former classmates of

Canon Cryan—Bishop Michael Russell, retired bishop of

Waterford and Lismore, Fr. Joe Moran, Barnacarroll and

Fr. Seamus Boland, Kilalla as well as a large number

of priests from the diocese. Burial took place

afterwards in the church grounds.

The
