    I am living in Tarmon district in the parish of Innisgrath. There are about ninety families living in Tarmon district. There are about twelve families of the name Flynn in Tarmon. There are tenty old people living in this district. The old peole are not god at talking Irish for they only know a few words. There were more people living in this district twenty years ago than there are now. There are the ruins of twenty for houses in this district. The most of the people that were living in Tarmon went to America five or six years ago. The most of the houses in this district are thatched and there are about three or four rooms in each.
