Rev Oliver O'Beirne, Unknown date of death

Served in Mitchell in the late 1920s. He originally joined the Passionist Order and later served through Brisbane and Mitchell. He was addicted to racehorses. After leaving the Priesthood, he was a station book-keeper in the Taroom district. Due to ill-health, he took time away, but did not return to Toowoomba. Oliver may have died tragically in Sydney.
