Two titles which spring to mind are the Roscommon Champion and the Roscommon People.  It's also possible that a notice might have appeared in the Irish Times.

Hi Christopher.
Yes 3 Cuddys Ellen died 1980, John 1983, and Michael 1986 all buired in Fuerty Co Roscommon old graveyard.

I was hoping with the death notice to find out what family they left behind them. My granfather was a brother to the above but he went to America about 1927 and I have just found their head stone in Fuerty Roscommon. Now trying to find if there in any family left.
