  1. A Local Happening

    Share Share Post
    One Sunday in the Summer there came a picnic to Foresters from Mullagh to Lough Ramor about twenty five years ago. Seven or eight of the company went out swimming and bathing.
    They were swimming in front of the Big Island when one of the company named Philip Smith from Rosehill took cramps in the water.
    There were people on the shore and some of them got a boat and went and took the man in to the shore.
    They went for the doctor and he tried to bring the man back to life by using artificial aid but it was of no use.
