Local Heroes.
The late Oliver Jones was born in Creggs, Co. Galway. He was a very strong man. One day he was walking through the streets of Galway, and hhe saw nine of the late Mr. Mc.Donagh's men , trying to put a block weighing a ton on a cart, and they were not able.
Oliver went up to the late Mr. Mc.Donagh and said if his brother John was with him he would be able to put it up. John was sent for and Mr. Mc.Donagh bet a five pund note that they would not be able to put it up. John came and they put it up, and they won the five pounds. It is over seventy years ago. It is a local saying around Creggs and Ballygar if there is anything hard to be done that it would take the strenght of Oliver Jones(continues on next page) - Collector
