At the end of June in 1891, Annie McInerney and Michael Nash were celebrating their wedding. They had both grown up in and around Tarlee.
Their fathers, Michael McInerney and Denis Nash and families were well known in the district. Little could any of them have foreseen how short their joy was to be. Less than three months later they would be following Annie’s coffin to Navan following her early death at age 26 on October 25th that same year.
Death is no stranger in our midst. On Tuesday the remains of Mrs. M. Nash, daughter of Mr. Mclnerney, an old and respected resident in this district, were interred in the Navan cemetery. The funeral was largely attended, between forty and fifty vehicles, besides a number of horsemen, being in the procession. The Rev. Father Lee officiated at the grave. Much sympathy is felt tor Mr. Nash, as he had only been married about three months and both had lived in the neighborhood from their childhood and were highly respected
