What is recorded here
Caheragh Old Graveyard holds the bones of monastic hermits, Famine victims and a Chicago police chief who carried Irish melodies across the ocean. Henry Newman waited a week for his mausoleum to finish building before burial, while young Mary Theresa Collins drew pilgrims after gravediggers claimed her body remained untouched by decay fifty years later. The river touches the edge of this strange ledger where human arrogance, devotion and memory keep arguing with each other in stone.
Caheragh Old Graveyard is a graveyard in County Cork, Ireland.
