Kinlough Graveyard
Kinlough, County Leitrim, Ireland

GPS: 54.442608, -8.291202

These records refer to the present day Kinlough Cemetery, located along R280 (Darty View) just outside (south west) of town.

The original Kinlough Graveyard was located behind the Kinlough Chapel in the center of town. Local Catholics were apalled at the sight of protestants walking their carts across the Chapel grounds on their way to a lime kiln. They contacted Daniel O'Connell, a member of Parliament, and lawyer, who had been helping Catholics throughout County Leitrim. He came up with the idea of establishing a cemetery to discourage protestants from trampling over the chapel grounds. The cemetery was opened in 1840.

In the 1932, parish priest Rev. M Dolan P.P.V.J. came to Kinlough and seeing the disgraceful condition the graveyard, proclaimed it was not fit for continued use. Dolan purchased an acre of land from Patrick Devaney at a sum of 60 pounds. In July 1937, the new Kinlough Graveyard was blessed by Dolan. A huge procession followed the priest out to the cemetery with children carrying lighted candles. The new graveyard's first burial was a woman named, "Mrs. Sheerin" from the town of Moneen.

Sometime in the late 1600's there had been a cemetery in Kinlough known as, "Oakfield".
