- Early in the eighteenth century on the boreen leading to Ballinlig bog a stable was used for the purpose of teaching school. Mr Tristin was the school teacher. His fee was two shillings and sixpence a quarter from each family. Their pens were made from the wing of the goose and the ink from the juice of an alder berry. He afterwards taught in the work house in Mullingar where he died. He was buried in Boher about four miles of the village of Ballymore.15.12.'37
