James Blayney Rice born 1830 died 1908
https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2016/259/169276496_1474060984.jpg
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.

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.

Apologies to Hallmark and Maiden Stone for not replying earlier but my 1 and a half yr old grandson decided to commandeer my lap while i was typing i took my eye off him for a few secs to check something and then noticed he was playing zoom zoom with my wi fi mouse obliterating what i had typed.
thank you both for your help on this topic.
