- Two brothers were coming home from rambling one night about 12 o clock. One who is living yet - his name is Robin Barrett lives in the Barony of Knockatee. All at once they heard great noise and tramping of horses. One asked the other did he hear the noise. He said he did not and walked on. The next thing they saw was a funeral coming on and a priest heading it, dressed in the usual funeral garb. They turned their backs to the funeral while it was passing and that was a long time. And shortly afterwards one of the brothers died.
