salary then? The Clerk said £80 for the doctor and £30 for the apothecary. Dr.
Tracey, who had not been qualified as M.D., but at the same time was considered
as skillful as the best, used to visit the patients. When Dr. Geary, Medical
Superintendent for the Poor Law Commissioners, heard of Dr. Tracey's visits to
patients, he said he would not allow such a practice to be continued. Dr.
Kittson said he could not discharge the duties without Dr. Tracey's assistance
in that manner. Two doctors were then appointed at £80 a year each. The £80 was
afterwards raised to £100.

May 1876 Nenagh Guardian
His numerous friends in Nenagh will regret to
hear that a once favourite amongst them, has just paid the debt of nature, in
the person of Dr. Daniel Tracey
[born circa 1790]. He had been a resident in Limerick since 1858, when he was
appointed resident Apothecary to the fever hospital at John's Gate, a situation
he resigned from some eight or ten years ago. He was gifted with talents of a
high order, and in his profession, he was one of the old school, and had few
superiors. He came of an old race in the Parish of Templemore, and was the 11th child of Patrick and Mary Tracey.
Those who knew him will remember him as a gentleman of a bye gone time in which
the intellectual faculties were cultivated as well for professional advancement
as for the entertainment of the circle in which he moved.

May 1876 (NG) Death of Daniel Tracey, Esq.
His numerous friends in Nenagh will regret to
hear that a once general favourite amongst them, has just paid the debt of
nature, in the person of Dr. Daniel Tracey. He had been a resident in Limerick
since 1858, when he was appointed Resident Apothecary to the fever hospital at
John's Gate, a situation he resigned from some eight or ten years ago. He was
gifted with talents of a high order, and in his profession, he was one of the
old school, and had few superiors. He came of an old race in the Parish of
Templemore, and was the eleventh child
of Mr. Patrick Tracey and Mrs. Mary Tracey (otherwise Ryan), and was born
on Saturday, November 2nd, 1793, so that he had reached the 83rd year of his
age, when death overtook him. He was highly intelligent, had read and
remembered much, was witty, anecdotic, full of song and story. Within the last
few years his health had been declining; and he paid a visit some time ago to
the family tomb in the beautifully situated ancient graveyard in the Abbey of
Tyone, near Nenagh, in the expectation of being laid there soon beside the
mortal remains of his deceased children and wife; but we have heard that he was
buried on the morning of Wednesday in the Cemetery at Mount St. Laurence,
Limerick, he having died the day before at his lodgings in Catherine-street in
this city, and that the funeral was attended by a few only of his late wife's
relatives. The deceased possessed excellent social amenities; those who knew
him will remember him as a gentleman of a byegone time in which the
intellectual faculties were cultivated as well for professional advancement as
for the entertainment of the circle in which he moved. - Limerick Reporter

June 1876 (N) Dr. Daniel Tracey
His numerous friends in Nenagh (says the
Limerick Reporter) will regret to hear that a once general favourite among them
has just paid the debt of nature in the person of Dr. Daniel Tracey. He had been
a resident of limerick since 1858, when he was appointed resident apothecary to
the fever hospital at John's Gate, a situation which he resigned some eight or
ten years ago. He was highly intelligent, had read and remembered much, was
witty, anecdotic, full of song and story, and some fifty years ago his ballad
on "The Brunswickers of the Ormondes" was one of the most popular
effusions of the period, and one of the most successful in the delineation of
the men who were at that period engaged in the work of opposing Catholic
Emancipation.
10
June 1876 (NG) The Late Dr. Daniel Tracy
The Limerick Reporter says:- Ex-County
Inspector Timothy McMahon, brother-in-law to the late Daniel Tracy, Esq, whose
death we announced took place in Limerick on the 16 ult, is about to erect a
handsome marble monument over his remains which were interred with every
respect in the Roman Catholic cemetery of Mount St. Laurence, close by this
city...rather than in the old family vault in the ancient Abbey of Tyrone, near
Nenagh, which he was apprehensive had been already overcrowded by the deceased
members of his family...[including] deceased wife and children...
In the Limerick Reporter, 23 February, 1877,
Maurice Lenihan published a report of an interview he had with the late Dr.
Daniel Tracy on the famous old classical schools of Tipperary.
