A Story (continued)
“Once upon a time there lived in the parish of Dunnamaggan a family named Garb.”
(continued from previous page)The priest was then brought, and his verdict was that according to the law of the church the body should not be buried in consecrated groud.
She was then brought to a place called "Roses" on the farmers-farm and buried there. Ever since then a beam of light is seen there.
