Obituary of Constantine McCue from the Scottish Catholic Directory of 1868.

Pray for the soul of the Rev. Constantine McCue, who died at the Catholic Chapel House, Paisley, on the 9th December 1866, aged 29 years.

Mr McCue was born, near Enniskillen, in December 1837. In his early years he came with his parents to Scotland, and was in due time sent, as an ecclesiastical student, to the Scots College of Valladolid, where, having finished his studies, he was ordained Priest on the 15th March 1862. On his return to Scotland in the following April, he was sent to Paisley. After a residence of some months in that town, his health, which was at no time very robust, began to give way; and being threatened with consumption, he was allowed, in the spring of 1863, to go back to Valladolid, as to a warmer climate. There was, however, but little perceptible improvement, and he returned in 1864. His case soon became hopeless; and after struggling for a time, he at length sunk under the fell disease. He was interred in the Catholic cemetery of Dalbeth, on the 12th December. His continual bad health never permitted him to hold any charge.
