THOUGHT: Revival looks like family; family is messy. Generations working together can be tense, and it’s not easy. There might be tension in it, but without tension, you can’t make music because if you take the tension out of guitar strings, the guitar can’t sing.-Jonathan David Hesler.
PAPERS: Kerryman 1904-current, Saturday, March 08, 1930; Page: 17
We regret to announce the death of Major John MacGillycuddy, which took place at his residence, Flesk Castle, Killarney on March 4th after a prolonged illness at the age of seventy four. Mr. McGillycuddy was the third son of Richard McGillycuddy of the Reeks, and Anna, daughter of Captain John Johnstone, of Mainstone Court, Herefordshire, and was representative of the oldest stock both in Ireland and England. On his father’s side his descent traces directly back to the Kings of Munster and to Milesius. While his maternal pedigree- connected him to Robert the Bruce of Scotland on the one side, and to Alfred the Great of Saxon England on the other. He was educated at Marlborough and later at Trinity College, Dublin, where he studied law, and was subsequently called to the Irish Bar. During his University career, he represented Ireland in the first International Rugby Football match against England. In the early eighties he went to Canada, where he acted as Secretary to the Arts Association of Montreal for several years. He married in 1890. Emlly daughter of R. S. Hudson. Esq of Bache Hall, Cheshire, and resided at Aghadoe House, Killarney. During this period he twice contested the East Kerry Division in the Unionist Interest. He filled the office of High Sheriff, was a Justice of the Peace, and one of His Majesty’s Deputy Lieutenants for the county. He joined the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers in 1893, but retired in 1909. He re-joined in 1914. and served with the Battalion at Cork and Aghada during the war. The last ten years of his life were spent at Flesk Castle.
Major MacGillycuddy was essentially Kerry; he lived in and for the county, and devoted his life to the welfare of its people. He took a deep interest in every form of social betterment and was untiring in his efforts to forward any charitable movement which was brought to his notice. His last days were concerned with the inception of a pension fund for the Jubilee nurses, and his illness was clouded by the thought that he would be unable to bring the project to a final and satisfactory conclusion. His unobtrusive kindnesses were without number, and many are the homes in Kerry which have tided over a difficult day with his help and sympathy. A good friend, a delightful, well-bred and cultured companion, and a courteous gentleman, he will be sadly missed as an example of what the best type of Irishman should be. He is succeeded by his only son, Anthony John MacGillycuddy.
