- There were landlords around here long ago by the name of Lees and they evicted all the tenants about the place. The tenants had all small holdings, and the Lees turned 'em out and made all its places into pig farms.
- At the time when the Lees evicted all the tenants they evicted a man by the name of Jerry Kehoe. Jerry Kehoe went to live in the meeting Home (near Taghmon). He had nowhere else to go. Well, any night that he wouldn't shake the Holy Water before going to bed he couldn't stop in the house. There would be the devil's own racket going on. Chairs and tables and stools, cups and saucers would be flying everywhere, and Windows breaking, it bet all; and the greatest crying and bawling you ever heard used be there. He used think every minute that the house would fall on him.
Any night he'd shake the Holy Water there would not be a stir in the place.
The ould house belonged to Quakers. They used to meet there, and that is how it got the name, "Meeting House." There is a Quakers' graveyard there in front of the house.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
