    Colonel O'Callaghan's land was to be divided on a certain day but the day before he died, so if he lived one more day he would have his title as a landlord given up. His son is yet living in Fortane, near Tulla. Mr. Reed was landlord of Mt. Shannon and General E. A. Gore of O'Callaghan's Mills.
