   There were several strong men in Rear Cross and its surroundings long ago. There was a man in Rear Cross named O'Toole, in the parish of Kilcommon, Co. Tipperary. This O'Toole man lived about seventy years ago. He was a great strong man and was able to lift a stone four stone in weight over his head and he was able to throw a twenty stone bag of potatoes into a car from the ground. He was once challenged for lifting a heavy stone by a great strong man from Cork. This O'Toole man lifted the stone seven feet and the man from Cork only lifted it six feet four inches. O'Toole lifted stone eight inches higher than the man from Cork.
