  2. (continued from previous page)
    There was a landlord in Cuslough and his name was Mr. Livesay. He owned Cuslough of about three hundred acres. He had only about tenants. He was a very nice man and he was liked by all the people. He never evicted anyone. He died in Dublin and he was buried there. After some years his brother came home from a foreign country, and he brought his remains to Cuslough graveyard where he is buried now. They have a lovely place walled in in Cuslough graveyard.
