  "Born in Esker, Killoe, Co Longford, Frank Gormley and his brother Michael were part of the Killoe Company (B Company) of the 1st Battalion, Longford Brigade and the North Longford Flying Column during the War of Independence. Frank moved from Adjutant to the leading role of Captain and Commander within B Company when Michael Reynolds replaced Seán Mac Eoin at the head of the Longford Brigade following the Blacksmith's imprisonment in 1921. He also held the role of a secretary to the Dáil Éireann courts. Gormley opposed the Treaty and later won a Dáil Éireann seat for Fianna Fáil in Longford-Westmeath as part of their first government in 1932. He also held the post of captain in the Irish Army, and served until his retirement after World War 2. He married Bridget Doherty in 1940. His brother Michael had served in the First World War and would later hold office as a member of Longford County Council. He died on December 2oth 1974 and is buried in Aughaboy Cemetry in his native Killoe."
