An Elegy
To the memory of my much
Reloved and Lamented Friend,
Mr William Woodlock, (born 1741 - died 1825)
of the Town of Roscrea.
dine after line my quishing lyss ae'er flow,
Led through a sad variety of wae
O Silent, alas! is he for whom I mourn,
Gone to that wold from whence there's no return,
No more the worth that glowd within his mind,
Shall chine a bright example of mankind!
Whose genrous heart with every virtue glowd?
And from his lyss their artess distates flowed
Careful his various duties to attend,
He shone a bushand, father, and a friend.
We gently left the earthly frame decay,
No breath'd a wish, rosfelt decire to day,
I pause, the friend who writes and writing lights:
Must stop to wipe the Tear from corrows eyes!
His gone show still in memory shall dwell,
And still for thee the mourning heart shall dwell,
His the heavens no fragrant incense rice,
Hore grateful to they shade are tender lights.
His ae'er they tomb shall rice no stately urn,
* yet to that sacred spot my heart shall turn
While friendship's hauf shall turn around they grave
His narrowly wreath, they worth from time to cause,
* Three children of mine are barred in the array of Roscrea, and I
would wish to have that cared spot. William Walsh
Yet while ae'er thee I shed a plaintive tear,
Forgive the wish that would have kept thee here!
I would cruel he to rob the soul of rest!
I is gone to Seaven, the place that units thee here.
Thomas Woodlock, (a son of a John Woodlock)
Who came to me armed with a letter from Under Hall (his
first cousin) dealt me the aboughting:
"They to enclose you an elegy to the
memory of may grand father who ride on the 7th December
1825 at the age of 84 years, and is barred in the array of
Roscrea. - J. W."

DEATH OF MR. W. WOODLOCK. Our second edition of last week contained the announcement of the death, at his residence in Mountjoysquare, of Mr. William Woodlock, B.L., one of the Divisional Magistrates of this city, and nephew of the Most Rev. Dr. Woodlock, Lord Bishop of Ardagh. Mr. Woodlock, who was one of the most respected of our Catholic citizens, deservedly enjoyed a high reputation as a magistrate of spotless integrity, perfect impartiality, and great judicial ability. To many personal friends who knew his worth, the tidings of his comparatively early death will come as a blow of no ordinary weight. Unostentatious and retiring in his demeanour, a man content to do his duty, careless whether or not the world recognised the merit of his work, the life of William Woodlock was one creditable to himself and useful to those around him. An earnest and practical Catholic, a generous friend of the poor and suffering, humane and merciful to the criminal and the fallen, his fellow-citizens have good reason to lament his loss. To his sorrowing wife and child, as well as to the venerated Bishop of Ardagh, the heartiest sympathy will be extended in their sorrow.

FUNERAL OF MR. WOODLOCK.—THIS DAY.
The remains of the late Mr. William Woodlock, J.P., one of the Divisional Police Magistrates of Dublin, were removed this morning from his residence, Mountjoy square, for interment in Glasnevin Cemetery. The funeral was a very large one, and there was an unusually large attendance of the professional brethren of the deceased. At the cemetery a number of the boys of the orphanage of St. Vincent de Paul were placed in processional order, and walked after the coffin to the mertury church, where the burial service was recited by the Most Rev Dr Woodlock, Bishop of Ardazh. After the service his Lordship, preceded by a cross-bearer, led the way to the grave, where prayers were again read, his Lordship being assisted by the Rev. E Kelly, S.J.; Rev. T. Kelly, S.J., and Rev. Mr. Morton, S.J. The breastplate on the coffin bore the following inscription:—

THE MOST REV. DR. WOODLOCK'S
RESIGNATION.
Our Banagher correspondent writes—An intimation received here of the intention of the Most Rev. Dr. Woodlock, Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise, to resign owing to failing health has caused much regret amongst the chergy and laity in this part of his lordship's extensive diocese. He has been a constant visitor to this district, and in it took a practical interest in furthering education. He has been bishop for 16 years, and during that time he has visited over and over again every parish in his diocese, which covers the whole of the County Longford, the greater part of Leitrim, and considerable portions of King's County, and the Counties Caxam, Sligo, and Westmeath. His zeal as a worker has had almost no limit. His scholarly attainments and his quiet Christian life, united with a breadth of sentiment and toleration for others gained for him the respect of all classes. He was born in the City of Dublin in March, 1819, and after private tuition at the residence of his parents, who occupied a high social position in Roscrea, he was sent to Clongowes Wood College, where he remained from 1833 to 1836. In the latter year, choosing the ministry as a profession, he went to Rome, where he underwent a training of over five years at the Appolinare. At the remarkably early age of 22 he passed his examination for the degree of D.D., and at the solicitation of the Rev. Father Hand, founder of All Hallowes College, he came home and took the Chair of Dogmatic Theology in that institution. There he remained for twelve years. In 1854 the President of the College, Dr. Moriarty, was elected Bishop of Kerry. Dr. Woodlock succeeded him, and filled the position until 1861, when he resigned to become Rector of the Catholic University. He was also appointed to the Diocesan Chapter, made a Domestic Prelate to the Pope, and in 1877 Vicar-General of Dublin. In a year later a vacancy occurred in the See of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise, by the death in Newfoundland of Bishop Conroy while on a special mission to Canada as Apostolic Delegate. In 18

THE LATE MRS. WOODLOCK.
CORK EXAMINED July 16, 1894
THE career which closed in the funeral at which so many of our most revered and influential citizens yesterday took part, was one of the most remarkable examples that could be offered of a life spent in energetic but unostentatious benevolence. So far back as the year 1852, in recording the Exhibition then held in Cork, the late John Francis Maguire recognised Mrs. Woodlock as one of the foremost influences in the attempt to diffuse industry amongst the female population, and in such a way as to improve mind and morals. Speaking of one of the chief industrial schools, Mr. Maguire mentions Mrs. Woodlock as its "most active and zealous patroness." And incidentally he mentions a characteristic trait. She had observed the absence from the school of a young girl of sixteen, and went to her home to see that she had not fallen into idleness or evil ways. She was gratified at finding the girl, whom she had taught or caused to be taught, in turn had communicated her skill to a number of others, who were then earning good wages. From that time to the sad and unexpected end, Mrs. Woodlock was an untiring labourer in the cause of charity, The greater part of her subsequent life was spent in Dublin, and in that city she found undant sphere for her energy. It assumed many forms—no kind of charity, indeed, was alien to her benevolent nature; but like most people who do any practical good she had a speciality. That speciality, it appears to us, was to guard decent young girls from the moral perils and the physical privation resulting from idleness. Her leading thought was their industrial education. She established a home in which girls were taught all branches of female work, including the business of servants; blended with their industrial training there was naturally religious training, as well as a fair proportion of literary education. Circumstances having induced Mrs. Woodlock a short time since to return to Cork, her native city, and the residence of her justly respected family, she did not relax from her endeavours to d
her close personal supervision was given, but she enlisted a number of young recruits amongst the wealthier classes, who were glad to place themselves at her disposal. While acquiring the knowledge of some industry which brought her in a humble means of support, the poor girl was entertained with reading, sometimes of a grave, often of a pleasant sort, and every effort which kindly generosity could make was employed to cheer the labour at which she was engaged. In this way much misery was relieved, many a family aided, and many a good young girl kept from temptation, and shewn the beauty of an industrious and moral life. Mentioning this, we only give an inkling of the ceaseless activity of Mrs. Woodlock's benevolence. Her whole existence seemed to have been solemnly dedicated to the task of doing good to her fellow-creatures. The idea of a philanthropist has sometimes been presented to us in a repellant aspect. No drawback of harshness or intolerance marred the beauty of her noble character. Hers was a sunny nature which shed cheerfulness wherever she appeared. The goodness of her heart was reflected in her manner, and her influence was due as much to the personal charm she was able to exercise on her young assistants and her poor proteges as to the nobility of her purpose. No face was more heartily welcomed at the school than that of the fine old lady who brought with her such a spirit of encouragement and cheerfulness. The departure of such a woman from amongst us is a serious public loss; we trust, however, that the influence of her teaching may remain, and that these whom she had associated with her will feel that the best tribute can pay to her cherished memory is to continue as well as they can the work that she set on foot.
Requiem High Mass was offered up for the repose of her soul yesterday morning, the celebrant being the Most Rev. Dr. Woodlock, Bishop of Ardagh, brother-in-law of the deceased. Shortly after nine o'clock the funeral started from St. Patrick's Church for St. Joseph's Cemetery, where all that was mortal of a benefactress of her kind was laid in the family vault of her nephew, Mr. Edward Ronayne Mahony. Her family burial-place is in Shandon Churchyard beneath the shadow of the bells made famous by her brother, the late "Father Prout," but owing to an inadvertence in the order of the Privy Council at the time of the closing of the churchyard as a burial ground to all, except those having family vaults there, the intermediate could not take place in the family vault. The burial service was performed by the Most Rev Dr Woodlock in the presence of the Most Rev Dr Delany, Bishop of Cork; the Right Rev Monsignor Sheehan, VG, PP, St Patrick's; Rev R A Sheehan, CC, do; Rev W J Madden, Administrator, Cathedral; Rev Father Selley, OSA; Rev Father Reynolds, CM, and a numerous assemblage of the citizens. Amongst those who attended the funeral were Mr Nicholas Mahony and Mr Timothy Mahony, brothers of the deceased; Mr Thomas Woodlock, son of deceased; Mr E R Mahony, Mr F W Mahony, Mr A Mahony, and other relatives. The funeral cortege comprised the heads of the principal families in Cork.

To my grand-daughter, Frances Woodlock on receiving
from her a lock of her hair, - 8 June 1877
Dear Fan, in your infancy's first happy home,
where no shadows car fall, where no troubles car come,
where a father's wound love, a found mother's carees
Let mought car approach dave to brighten and bless;
Even there, in that dwelling of peace and of love,
The wish to give pleasure to others you prove;
It thought to old grand father kindly your spare,
And gladden his heart with a lock of your hair.
For this what can be in return to you bring?
She! mought, but the pray'r that the hours, as they wing
their course through your life, may be happy and bright,
And unshadowed as now, - ever becoming with light; -
Tell the day comes when, still prompt to gladden and bless,
with father's approval, with mother's carees,
You shall list to another, and gind to his pray'r,
And gladded his heart with a lock of your hair.
And then when that day comes, Many still your life flow
In brightness, - your path in pure sensitive still flow!
May peace, love and happiness car be with you,
And your home still be such as in childhood you knew!
She! Then, while your dogs pure and happy flow on,
Think sometimes of old grand father, then dead and your,
For him, too, sometimes offer up a short pray'r
Whom first you made glad with a lock of your hair.
William Woodlock
Bruges, 12 June 1877
