We regret to have to announce the
death of Mr.. Nicholas Kickham Shee,
j. F., of Seven Acres, Mullinahone,
who passed away on Nov. 2 after a
long and tedious illness in his 55th
year. He was one of the most active
and popular of the Tipperary Nation
alists and was from his youth identi-
fed with the National movements.
He was chairman of the Callan
Guardians for years and the board
paid him the marked compliment Of
electing his eldest son, DR.. ]. N. Shee,
medical officer of the workhouse soon
after lie became qualified. He was
made magistrate by Mr.. Morley and
was always OH the popular side.
When the first county council for
South Tipperary was elected Mr..
Shee was appointed secretary, but
from the first the local government
board objected to him apparently on
account of his Nationalist leanings,
and despite the efforts of the council
eventually succeeded in putting him
out Of the appointment. He had been
in bad health since March.
