    There was a great musician living in this part of the country long ago named Stevenson.

    (continued from previous page)
    frightened and refused to pass by, so he decided that he would get the tree cut down but he could find no one that would do so for him for it was believed that bad luck would to him that would interfere with old trees of this description.
    So he went to Duleek & there he found two men who were willing to do the job for him, and so they did, but we are told that they were both dead within a year's time.
