“One night Pat Magrane's mother (R.I.P.) of Walterstown Parish, was coming home from the flour-mill of Rathfeigh.”
One night Pat Magrane's mother (R.I.P.) of Walterstown Parish, was coming home from the flour-mill of Rathfeigh. She was in a pony and trap. Just as she came to Wilson's house (where Mick Brown now lives and herds for Patrick Neill of Runahan) the pony stopped and would not go a step further in front of him. She turned him back and went home by "The FIve Roads". From that night on she could not get the pony to go by that house.Written by
