    village at present who are over 80 years of age. Their names are Mrs Ross and Miss Coffey. The latter is the Post mistress of the village. Mrs Vaughan can converse in Irish, and is a good story-teller. The most of the inhabitants of the village at present time came from outside districts. All the old natives are practically wiped out.
