Obituary. Monsignor O'Connell, Jerilderie Herald and Urana Advertiser, 8 October 1936, p 3, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article134602963:
The death occurred at Lewisham Hospital Wagga Wagga last week, after some months' illness of the Right Rev. Monsignor Timothy O'Connell aged 85. Born at Effin, County Limerick, Ireland in 1851 he was educated at Carlow College and came to Australia in 1874, at the age of 23 years. In that year he was ordained a priest for the diocese of Goulburn. In 1891, when the diocese of Wilcannia was formed, he went to Broken Hill as administrator with the Right Rev. Dr. Dunn from Albury, who was appointed Bishop. He continued in the diocese of Wilcannia until 1908, working in Broken Hill, Cobar, Wentworth and Hay, and spending 13 years in the latter town. Other towns in which Monsignor O'Connell served were Deniliquin, Tumut, Corowa, Young, Albury and Burrowa. He was rector of Junee from 1915 to 1918, and then went to Wagga, where he was administrator until 1920. In that year he returned to Junee and four years later he was appointed Vicar-General of the diocese of Wagga. He continued to serve at Junee until his death.
