- John Meehan a brother of James Meehan, was married to a woman from Ballyboy, (a few miles from Kiltyclogher.) He had a family of four daughters and one son.
One evening the son went down to Belcoo to a corn mill to dry corn, and he was dead in the morning.
He was brought home and he was buried in Garrison. The four sisters were very sorry, and each one of them on their turn went down to the grave every day, to pray for him, and to dress the grave.
Two of them got married and the other two died of grief.
The two that got married died soon afterwards.- Collector
