  1. A Local Happening

    Share Share Post
    An old man and woman named Lyttle who lived in Craigroe about ninety years ago were murdered and their house burned down by two men named Stewards.
    They thought they had killed the hired man too but he escaped and told the police on the murderers and they were hanged at Lifford.
