   About seventeen years ago there was a man by the name of Pat Vaughan
   going home from Mass on Sunday when the faction fights were faught in Ireland. A woman started a fight with him and she knocked him down .She said that "he would never rise" again and what she said was true.he died in the place between two trees and leaves never grew on them since.About forty years ago a drowning occurred in Lough Graney lake three young men by the names of Corry,Moloney, and Bourke were out boating.When they were out far on the lake the boat almost overturned.
