- There is a man who lives not far from our house in Dalystown. His name is Bill Comaskey. During the Rebellion of 1916 he had some cattle and he sold them and when he came home he was afraid to keep the money in the house. So he put it in a wall but when he wanted it he went to the wall and he could not find it. He looked for a long long time but he did not get it. About fours years after he sold the stones of the wall to Co Council and when he was drawing them to the road he found the money and all the people were very glad.
