When he reached home he plied at his trade, and digging down into one of the ferkins, he found instead of tallour, gold, silver and other valuable things. Hurrying to the Abbey, he purchased the remaining ferkins. Damer became one of

When he had it finished Mr. Damer asked what he would charge. The tailor replied that he would charge him nothing if he could get a look at his gold. Mr. Damer asked what good that would do him but the tailor replied that he would be satisfied to get one look at it. Then Mr. Damer opened the door of the room in which the gold was. Then he saw the beautiful sparkling gold and he began admiring it. Then Mr. Damer told him he could take as much as would fill his two hands. Then the tailor went into the room and generally a tailor never laces his shoes when he comes off the table.

John Damer hid it there. And he lost it again around the place and he couldn't find it so some prime boy came along and picked it up.

When Liam got old the only way he had to make money was to play the Fiddle at he dancing, wakes and weddings. The only happy time in Liams life was when he would go to Bothereen Buidhe Bridge and when he was young he used to play with his cousins the Hanlys.

Heffernan is buried at Shronell but his grave is only known to a fair in the district. May Providence bless the clay enwrapping the remains of all our bards, especially that of those children of song who made Faith and Fatherland and the worthy subject of their lays.

say. In 1745 Liam Dall and the guide were coming from Charleville they were crossing a trench the guide missed his step and he fell down in the deep trench. Liam Dall shouted for help but no help came, then Liam Dall thought if he when home without the guide. Damer would hang him because he would think he murdered him Then Liam Dall began to feel along the water with his hands for the guide, he caught him by the hair of the head and pulled him up. When they came back Liam Dall thought there would be a rising in Ireland but there was only a rising in Scotland and Bonnie Prince Charlie came back Damer was stiff and sacked the guide and left Liam Dall plough along the roads by himself nobody would guide him.There was war in Ireland in 1641 to 1651 and the Cromwellians were capturing all the cities. He had a lot of soldiers. One of them was Joseph Damer and the Stewards name was Smith. The Cromwellians passed the Cross of Shronell when they were going to capture the city of Limerick and Kilmallock castle Then the Cromwellians were putting out the Catholics out of their lands. Ireton asked a man there by the name of Heffernan if he wanted anything they would help him. Heffernan said to leave him as he was because he had a lot of land from Emly to Lattin, he said they were another man named Smith he said it was he that had helped him all. Ireton took it all down in his book when the time came he gave Smith a big lot of land. Jospeh Damer got a lot of land and he build a house in Mount Bruis. When he died he left it to John Damer he came over from Co. Dorset in England.
