“I had a talk with Miss Minnie Buckley (aged 68) of Park.”
(continued from previous page)he had sold bonhams. At Beelnadeega he was attacked by "the Spirit" and was killed. He left six young children one of whom was Miss Buckley's mother. She calculated her grandfather's death occurred in 1856. Her grandmother (paternal) died in 1890 aged 85 years, but as a girl she never heard her speak of Owen Roe.- she spoke nothing but Irish.She remembered two cabins in their lands - one in the "Eastern lower field" and another up "near the bog"Her brother who owned the lands at Park is dead but his wife who is a native of Shinnagh Rathmore said that the Park lands were purchased in 1903. As a girl she heard people talk of Brereton's murder in Shinnagh and south of their house is a road called Bócairín Brerecon. She heard a story that the Whiteboys did not kill Brereton outright - that he lay dying during the night - and that in the morning when "Clovers" were returning from some house they completed the work because they said "He'd hang the country"
