Clare Journal, Mon 6 Jan 1862: Sudden Death of Terence Healy, Esq., of Manus House. Many of our readers are aware that on Friday last this lamented gentleman left his residence at Manus in perfect health, and had not proceeded many yards from his gate, when, attacked by a sudden feeling of illness, he returned to his house where he expired in a few minutes. It seldom happens that nay gentleman is placed in so many different positions as were filled by Mr. Healy, and the good fortune with which he was enabled to secure the universal esteem and respect prove him to have been gifted with talent and acquirements of no ordinary character.
It is well known that he was for several years past amongst the foremost to introduce an improved system of agriculture into this part of the country; and his taste and judgement in the selection and breeding of stock were admitted by every person competent to form an opinion; indeed, his tillage, his stock, and his general mode of managing his extensive farming operations attracted general notice and admiration. […] His sudden death, at the comparatively early age of 38, is a source of inexpressible grief to his bereaved widow and young family. [more]
