- There was a man by the name of Michael Erwin Magowna Kilnamona. He was a famous mower.
He used to mow an acre a day. One time he mowed seven acres in six days. It used be half past nine in the morning when he would start mowing and he used usually break off about six o'clock. James Hegarty Ballyduffmore Kilnamona was a famous walker. When he would be going to Ennis he would walk across the fields and crags bare-footed until he would arrive in Ennis. One time he was going ploughing and he had no horses collar. He got up about five o'clock in the morning and brought the cows and milked them, then he walked it to Gort and bought a horses collar there and walked it home again and he was home in time to go ploughing.
There was a great mower living in this parish long ago. His name was Barry and he lived in the town land of Knockaughrim. He used to cut seven acres of hay in six days and walk two miles to his work each morning.(continues on next page)- Collector
