    family put him in bed and they summoned the priest & doctor, Before he died he told his family that he had found a crock of gold. He told them that it was lying on a ditch near the house. They brought him out to the door to paint to where it lay but he could not paint so the gold is hidden there ever since.
    A short time after this happening lights were seen in this field.
