- There is a farm belonging to Mrs. Whelan in Glenpatrick, Co. Waterford and a terrible burning took place in it about thirty years ago. Mrs. Whelan is still alive. There was a crowd of men playing football about a half-mile from the place and they heard the roaring and they ran down. When they reached the house three calves and a shed were burned. They were not sure what happened it but the cattle were in a thatched shed and it was a very hot day and the thatch was very dry and it is thought that it was a spark out of the dwelling house burned it.
