- (continued from previous page)A large gravle path was put right through the middle of the grave-yard and some of the graves were kept beautifully.At the other end of the parish called Killallon there is also a grave-yard to be found. The people also wanted to clean this grave-yard up, [?] unlike Clonmellon, were very successful, but of course Killallon grave-yard is not near as old as Killua.Some Protestants are buried in Killua. The Chapmans were all Protestants and still four of them are buried in Killua grave-yard.Lord Chapman is supposed to come out of his grave along with another man both dressed in hunting-garmentsIt is usually on Hallow-Eve night that they appear.There is also a graveyard beyond in Clonarney. It is in the same field that the marks of Saintly Monks are.
