    “When St. Barry was about to build his church he asked a man named John Scally for the site.”

    When St. Berry was about to build his church he asked a man named John Scally for the site. He was willing to give the land but his wife was not. That evening she became insane. John told St. Berry the next day. St. Berry built a little stone house beside where he was to build the church and put her into it. She slept one night there and came out cured in the morning. In two years afterwards she died at one o'clock and John died the next day at the same time.
