    Some of the pieces of coffins are still seen there on the ditch of this field. This churchyard was owned by Protestants named Gores, and it was not used by anyone but themselves. Long ago there was a man, named Prince Fred Gore, buried there, and on thie tombstone was.
    "Here lies the body of Prince Fred."
    "Gone down amongst the dead"
    "If it had been his father"
    "We would much rather"
    "If it had been his mother"
    "Better than any other."
    "If it had been his sister"
    "We ne'er should have missed her"
    "But when it's only Fred"
    "There is no more to be said."
