   Once there lived in Ballinagree a woman who left a hundred pounds for Masses for her soul before she died. The husband and daughter were crying but a few weeks after her burial she was forgotten. They got a few Masses offered up for her soul and then the father drank all the rest. He had nothing left and so had to go working. One day when he was coming home to dinner he found a purse in the road. Inside he found £5. He took it with delight. As he was showing it to his daughter a hand appeared around the door and snapped the money from the man. He did not like money after that and became very good.

One of the head stones fell in the stream and it is to be seen yet at Donoughmore
