- Tom Orpen's wife was from Killarney. Her father was buried in Muckross Abbey. Some time after he was buried his wife came to live with her daughter and son-in-law at Cross Roads. When she died she was buried in Old Kenmare. My husband and I were at her funeral at O.K. When we were going home and were reaching our own cross and were only a small bit from it, my husband said to me, "I must strike the mare and make room for the funeral". I saw nothing but he saw a funeral coming from the direction of Killarney, and going towards Kenmare. We said that it was the way they were coming for her.-A son of Johnny Gaine's of Carhumeengar saw a funeral and he died shortly afterwards. He used to stay out late at night and sometimes he used to be locked out altogether. His people say that they saw a funeral coming up the line from Kenmare before he died.
