Byrne, Joseph A., OP, Irish
Early Grave for Dominican Volunteer
About half a dozen Dominican volunteers came to Australia before the arrival of the first community - Dr.Spence etc. - in 1898. Probably this youth was still attached to the Dominicans, but the circumstances of his coming and place of service are not clear. A tombstone in the West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide is the only clue to his life here below telling us that he died 13.8.1894 at the age of 28.
