- (continued from previous page)When does a farmer perform a miracle?
Ans. = When he turns a cow into a field. - Near my home is an old well known as
"The Showney" It is built of stone in the shape of an arch. A lady named Mrs Chivers got it built because she was cured in it. She was suffering from a disease and the doctor gave her many medicines but he could no cure her. She went and bathed in "The Showney" and she was immediately cure. She showed her thanks by building up the well.
There is an old castle also in our district but it is in ruin. It was built by Mr Christopher Chivers but in 1649 was stormed by Cromwell. The tracks of the bullets are still to be seen in the walls. The castle is now owned by Mr. James Reid James St. Drogheda.- Collector
