    “The roof of Bofeeaun chapel was blown off the night of the big wind.”

    Share Share Post
    The roof of the Bofeeaun chapel was blown off the night of the big wind. It was a high roof and thatched. A few days after my mother's grandmother carried six bundles of scolops to have Bofeeaun chapel thatched for Mass on the next Sunday
    She walked between five and six miles with the scolops tied on her back with a fur rope. He name is Bridget Brown, born in Logduff, about three miles behind Pontoon. The cattle and the sheep were also blown off the mountains near Bofeeaun on that night.
