    There was once a man who lived at the foot of the hill. He was but shortly married when his wife died. One night as he was coming home from town he saw a her woman standing on the door step He was drunk at the time and did not know what he was doing He followed her with a stick and called her all the names he could and ill-used her very much. He also said if he saw her again he would kill her. For weeks after he saw her night after night until one of friends paid for a mass for her and she was never seen again
