    There was a woman named Nellie Keane living adjacent to our house years ago. She had only one cow but it was amazing all the on butter she had. It was supposed that she took the cream from other cows by charm. There was a well in front of Lohan's house, and one morning Richland Cambell saw her going in and out under a cart tyre. When she went home he got a dead hand and put it into the churn. She then said "Gather, gather while I'm here, all the butter that lies near"
