this monument is huge the biggest i have ever seen to a Fenian, John Devoy visited this grave in 1924 and the top of his hat only reaches to where the date of James death is written.(from the Devoy family photograph collection reproduction rights National Library of Ireland) not sure i can post here ?

I would be interested to find if he was arrested in 1865/1866 and imprisioned.
I think he married Catherine Geraghty/Garrity in 1870  Monaghan
not sure if this is him in 1901

According to 1 source (which I can't find again) the monument was to the Rice family. According to this source they were important in Co. Monaghan. Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa used to visit them. James Blaney Rice's GF took part in 1798 rising.
I like the little dog lying at the front of the monument.

I like the little dog lying at the front of the monument.

In that setting with harp and round towers not a little dog but a very large Irish Wolfhound

The pike on the left would be in keeping with 1798.

According to this he spent 8 months in Mountjoy than 2 and half years in exile in America
