The mountain sentinel: (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853: August 14, 1851
At his residence in Cambria township, of Dysentery, on Monday evening August 11,
Rev. Terrence McGirr, in the 70th year of his age... The deceased was a priest of
the Catholic Church for a period of 40 years, nearly all of which time was passed
within the limits of what is now Cambria County. He received a splendid education at
that seat of learning, Maynooth College, Ireland, was a superior linguist and
remarkably talented man. He was of invaluable assistance to the late Rev. Dr.
Gallitzin in his efforts to improve the condition of his flock, render them more
happy, and by soliciting emigration to make the wilderness blossom as the rose...
His mortal remains were yesterday interred in the burial ground of the Catholic
Church of this place...
