“On the year 1839 a girl named A.O.D. from Feale Hill, Abbeyfeale got married to a rich young farmer...”
(continued from previous page)From that day on everything went well with the widow. Her descendants are living on the farm at the present day. They are a talented family whose main object in life is charity to the poor, especially the sick poor.- A man was coming home from gambling very late one night. Coming though a field where many cows were grazing he noticed their heads were up as if listening to something. It was then he noticed a pal of his who had been dead for years coming towards him. The dead man was coming through a gap through which the other man had to walk in order to get home, but he avoided it. He climbed over a fence and went home very quickly.
