  1. (no title) (continued)

    My great grandfather one time dreamt that there was gold buried in a certain ditch.

    (continued from previous page)
    had dug for the gold and found it.
    The man that owned the land in which the gold was found was named Woodcock, and he was a quaker. They buried the gold in the time of the Rebellion 1798 and when they died it was left to the Davis's. When they got the gold they started a big industry S. and A.G. Davis Flour Mills Enniscorthy.
    There was a pier built in the hole where the gold was found, and it is to be seen to this day. It is on the very edge of the road and is about half-a-mile from my house.
    This story is perfectly true. I got it from my mother, who got it from her grandfather, who actually dug for the gold.
