I was thinking – “This isn’t the ‘THREETOWNS’ and it’s a wee bit far away to qualify for the ‘NOT THE THREE TOWNS BUT CLOSE’ topic, but I was drawn to this story.

GLASGOW HERALD
25 AUGUST 1897

A PRIEST’S HEROIC DEATH IN SOUTH UIST

News has been received of the death of the Rev. George Rigg, Roman Catholic priest of the parish of Dalibrog, in South Uist, one of the Outer Hebrides.

Father Rigg met his death owing to a devotion not less than, if not so great a magnitude, as that of the renowned Pere Damien.

The family of one of his parishioners, a Hebridean cottar, consisting of a man, his wife, and child, were all attacked by typhus fever at the same time. The neighbours would not approach the cottage in which the stricken family lay ill, and for weeks, with the exception of the doctor, who paid his daily visit, the priest unassisted nursed the sick household, cooking for them and preforming all the necessary and unpleasant offices attaching to his self-imposed task.

As a result, he contracted the fever in its worst form, and died, after terrible sufferings, a few days ago in the presence of his sister and the priest in charge of the other South Uist parish, who had both nursed him devotedly.
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
