- (continued from previous page)God to save them from the awful scourge.In answer to their prayer no one ever since died of the desease, but the pigs die occasionally.Tradition says that it was removed from the people and put on the pigs.John Forrest who live in Gort served the Mass. His death occurred about 41 years ago.There once lived a man named Mickey Glynn he was a native of Cahermore and about five feet and a half in height, he was so strong that he could come out of the barn with seven cwt of corn on his back and put it on the car by himself. His neighbour Bill Luck lived in the same place and was about five feet and a half in height he could carry the same load but could't stoop down coming out the barn door so on that account, he was beaten by Mickey Glynn.
