Obituary 9-November 1945 New Ross Standard

Colonel Quin Borleagh, Inch

The death took place last Monday of Colonel Richard Percival Wemyss Quin at his residence, Borleagh Manor, Inch. He was the only son of the late Major-General T. J. Quin, Borleagh. The Late Colonel had been in indifferent health for some time, still the news of his demise came as a surprise to his relatives and friends. He received his early education  in England and Germany, and after leaving Sandhurst received a commission  in an English regiment After being about five years in England with his regiment he applied for a transfer to an Indian regiment which was granted. He joined the 41st Dorgas, of which he eventually became commanding Officer. He became a Colonel in the first world war, later he served  on the Indian Frontier Campaign and was mentioned in dispatches in 1919. He spent over a quarter of a century in the army. He could speak about ten Indian dialects. On his retirement in 1922 he returned to Borleagh house and took up farming on an extensive scale. He was a great sportsman and took part with the late Captain Guise, St. Waleran’s, Gorey, in big game shooting in India and Africa. He had also many big shooting parties at Borleagh. He went in for the breeding of cattle on his extensive estate and was an annual exhibitor at the Dublin Show, where he usually carried off many first prizes. He was a great supporter of the Gorey Show to which he presented cups, and also won numerous prizes for his cattle and other animals exhibited there. Time after time Agriculturalists from across the water, notably from Scotland who were in the district, paid visits to Borleagh to inspect his prize cattle there. He was also a great fisherman and owned a large stretch of the river Slaney in the neighbourhood of Bunclody. A supporter of outdoor sports, when the Gorey Tenis committee started a fully equipped tennis court at Ramsfort near Gorey, many years ago he presented them with a handsome subscription.

The people of Kilanerin district will remember his wife’s benevolence towards the Parish. They gave a handsome contribution for the errection of the very up-to-date  spacious village hall at Kilanerin and which is the finest to be seen in this or adjoining Counties.

The late Mick Bushe told me the reason  for the lead coffins  in the vault of the Quin family Graves  was to prevent disease from the bodies coming back from India
