- (continued from previous page)The Kilpatrick graveyard is very old, and all the folks round here would like to be buried in it if they could. They are so fond of it that there is an old saying that "Anybody who is buried in Kilpatrick goes straight to Heaven.
- Long ago a man named John Whip was sitting on the wall of the graveyard in Ballintemple. Suddenly a man appeared beside him and said, "They buried me in the wrong graveyard, and how can I rest here in peace. They have all ready there for me, and I am going back to Kilpatrick where I can rest in peace." Whip got down on his feet and ran home for his life.
