"....were four cousins on board the Titanic that night and out of those four family members only one survived. James Flynn, 28; Annie Kate Kelly, 20; Pat Canavan, 21; and Mary Canavan hailed from four different areas of the parish. Survivors spoke of the bravery that James of Culinakillaw and Pat of Knockmaria showed: they put the fate of the women and children of steerage before their own and helped them onto the upper deck so that they would have a chance of survival."
