- (continued from previous page)old ruin of a Catholic Church and a Protestant Church. There are two old tombstones in one of these yards but I do not know what are the dates on them. Some of the crosses are made of wood, some are made of marble, and some are made of stone.There is a planting of trees around both yards. There are no disused grave-yards in this parish. It is said that if you fall on a grave would you die in a year after. Long ago unbaptised children were buried at the back of ditches, because they were not supposed to be buried in consecrated ground.In a field opposite our school there are four priests buried, and that was where the old school and church were some years ago. There is no story or tradition connected with the local grave-yards. People from other parishes are also buried in these yards.
