- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)not learnt, nor can I deduce that they have been transferred to the latest person buried, though it would appear that that is the natural conclusion to be arrived at.It would appear that this anxiety to make the first of two interments in the same graveyard on the same day, led to grave trouble in the past. A story is told of a struggle at the churchyard stile, between two sets of corpse bearers and their respective supporters. A struggle in which one of the coffins was thrown down and broken, so that portion of the corpse projected.
My informant (An Sagart paroiste fein, an t-ath. Seamus de Bhal) has forgotten the name of the graveyard at which this occurrence took place, but recalls hearing the story as a boy at his father's fireside in Dromcollogher, Co. Limerick.I, myself also heard the same story when a lad at home. I cannot say now if it was my father or my mother who told it, but looking back I think it was the former. Indeed, I should never have recalled the story at all if the priest had not brought it back to me.The wood from which the crosses referred to on the preceding page, were made, was de rigeur, elder, but the rigorous observance of that custom of using only elder wood, had fallen into abeyance.
