    thunder and lightning came, and they could not see each other. Then they tried to fill the hole and went away.
    And it is said that two other men went some time after, and found the gold. One of them had been very poor but became very rich all at once.

    I have a blanket to this day, that came from Hoare's Factory in Knocknamunion, over 50 years ago.
    Hoare used make tweeds and blankets. He did not employ very many, but had a boy to mind the looms. It is over 50 years since the factory worked. It is only a ruins now. Hoare married a Miss Byrne, Castleruddery. He had a brother in Coolmoney
