    (continued from previous page)
    are no disused graveyards in this parish. Long ago people used to bury unbaptized children in the corner of fields. The old people used to say it is not lucky to fight over a graveyard or to open a grave or to close it without corpse. Long ago people used to go miles to bury in family burying places.
