- This is a story I heard about a strong man named Nealon who lived in the village of Laragon, a long time ago.
There is a big hill up behind that village, and it is said, that he carried a big stone that was three cwt. weight up that hill and was not tired.
He was also a great walker He could walk about thirty miles a day, and would not be tired.
He could throw the half a cwt. weight about a hundred yards, away from him
