We may never know how the grave of John Murphy in Knockainey came to say he was 219 years old when he died. A mistake on the part of the Tombstone Engraver perhaps. Or maybe old John Murphy was a bit of a storyteller. The tombstone of the mystery man - who is surely a
candidate for the Guinness Book of Records - has been discovered in the
cemetery at St John’s Church in Knockainey by a local historian.
