- (continued from previous page)It seems old O'Donnell was a cobbler by trade. "Ormsby is dead" said the coach-man. One version is that Ormsby died a sudden death, another is that during the night a mad cat tore his throat. Tradition says he is buried in the old church in Dromin churchyard and up to lately people threw stones into the cave where he is buried or as it is known locally "Ormsbys Hole".A poem tells of the event also :-IMy castle walls are strong I trow,
And long shall wear their stately seeming
It's flowery lawns, its fountains gay
And sweet the Morning Star is gleaming
And far around the Tullerboy
The face of nature's half Elysian
But Earthen walls no more shall mar
The radiance of Aurora's visionIIGo quickly tell that cottier clown
That he must seek some other shielding
Before the morrow's sun goes down
I care not where he finds a dwelling
Tis done, the victim meets the blow
With hoped that ever soothe our sorrow
The Lord who sheltered yesterday(continues on next page)- Informant
