- A Holy Well
There is a story told about a little well at Tober. One morning a woman was out at the well, for a bucket or water. Then a priest came up to her and the woman asked to priest to bless the well for her. Before the priest had the well blessed the soldiers came. The priest ran but before he got to the head of the field the soldiers caught him and killed him. The people go there for a cure. It was my mother that told me this story.
