- Mr Crowdell, a poet, lived where Mr Pk. O'Brien now lives. He is buried in the 'Old Graveyard.
Shortly before he died, he composed the Hills O'er Kilmoganny:-Oft in the Sunny days of yore,
When childhood's days were fleeting
I sported by the sloping hills
My heart with pleasure beating.
The hills of streams - of childhood's dreams
The HIlls o'er Kilmoganny
These dear old hills - those kindly hills
The Hills o'er Kilmoganny.As years rolled by - content was mine
My daily task fulfilling
For smiling plenty in my home
To work hard I was willing
Each day I ploughed the dear old fields
That I love the best of any
And summer breezes whispered sweet
Oer the hills oer Kilmoganny
The Hill's I love - all hills above
The Hills oer KilmogannyThe woodlands ring with melodies
Ere sunrise in the morning(continues on next page)
