    Coopers:- Up to the advent of the creameries and for some time afterwards, white the creamery butter was stored in whooped kegs, coopering was one of the most profitable trades in this locality. The demand for butter firkins, churns, cream tubs, churning-barrels, pecks for setting milk and feeding calves and pigs as well as tubs and barrels of all sorts must have been great in a district like this where dairy farming alone was carried on. There were several coopers but the Powers and McGuires seemed to have the greatest patronage. John Power now living in Ballylanders and about seventy-eight years of age tells that when he was growing to manhood he, his father, and three assistants completed eight or nine firkins each per day. This rush of work continued from April till October. The winter period was given to making tubs, pecks, churns, and barrels as well as in preparing salty whoops for the firkins to be made the following summer. The house he lived in at that time is still to be seen in Kilgarriff.

    Father Brown once lived here a P.P. in Ballylanders. He lived in a house near the village and near the house was a vein of sand. Some people went to draw the sand and Father Browne told them to stop as they were undermining the house. They refused and Father Browne turned in-saying nothing, but the sand turned into the water and puddle. There was never sand drawn there after. The hole is still in the field and four trees standing near - nobody would cut them down. It was for building the Protestant Church the sand was being drawn - Harty was killed when finishing the Protestant Church.

    I was talking to a woman the other day who has a sister married back in Kilgarive [?], (Ballylanders, Co Limk. Coshlea). It appears she was visiting there some years ago and a very curious thing indeed happened while she was there. Her sister used to send the milk to the creamery in Darragh twice a day in those times. This evening she was standing in her sister's yard looking out for the boy as she wanted to scald the churns for the morning. She heard the sound of a car and horses coming along the road and she thought it was the boy with the churns. In a few minutes she saw the strangest looking car you ever saw in your life passing the gate. It was a long car like a "settle-bed" and it took up the whole road. There were four fine black horses under it

    There is an old fort in Ballylanders in Mac Gregor's field. It is circular in shape and it is made of clay. It is supposed to have been built by the Danes as a protection against the enemy. There is no other fort within sight of it. There was an entrance to an underground room but it is closed up now. The fort occupies about a quarter of an acre of ground.
    There is an old story told about a man who was ploughing around the fort and each time he came to a certain spot the horses fell.
    There is a field belonging to Terrys of Ballymacotter called Páirc an Leasa. Long ago there were two forts in the field. The owner of the field dug up the forts and tilled them but no matter what manure is put in the ground where the forts were any crop that ever was set there failed.

    One day my grandfather went to the fair in Fermoy with a horse and trap to buy some cattle. He bought the cattle and he hired a man to bring them home and he brought them by Mitchelstown.
    When my grandfather was coming he came by Ballylanders. When he was passing Ballingarry Church-yard there were two white women and a bull with a chain tied around his neck standing at the Churchyard gate. When the horse saw them he shied and he would not go any further. My grandfather whipped him to make him go but it was in vain. Then he had to turn back again and come home by Mitchelstown. When he was passing the Church-yard in Kilfane he saw a man dressed in white a gun in his hand when my grandfather came near

  14. Ballintubber Well

    Leathanach 280

    Near the blessed well in Ballintubber in Neville's farm there are three flag stones. The old people say that there is a sum of money buried under these flags and it is protected by a bull and a cock. Several people made many attempts in recent years to find this sum. A number of men went from Ballylanders to get it and when they had it dug up half way a bull began to roar, chains began to clap and a cock crew and they all fled for their lives in fear and terror.
    The night after, another crowd came down from Mitchelstown and when they were coming they met a drunken man on the road and they told him about the money. He said to them that they would succeed in getting the money but when they were digging it the same thing happened to them as to the other crowd. Ever since then there were no more attempts to find it.

  15. A Piseog Cure

    There is a road leading from Glenbrohane to Ballylanders passing by Maguires farm house. It divides the Townlands of Ballingarry and Ballyfruta. This road is called Borheen-cloc-a-marbh which means the road of the Graveyard. In years gone by there was a graveyard by the side of this road, just about thirty yards from Mc Guires house at the other side of the road. A remnant of this graveyard still exists even to the present day. Just where the entrance was there are three flags about four feet in a perpendicular position and about three feet apart, over these is placed a large flag on which the coffins used to be laid. To gain entrance to the graveyard the people used to crawl on their hands and feet under the flag. It was supposed to be a great cure for a pain in the back. You should go in and out under this flag nine times and then get the seventh son to walk on your back. By the seventh son I mean seven boys in succession with a girl intervening. Now

  16. A True Story

    This story was told to me by my mother. There was a woman who lived in Spittal near Ballylanders and she was sick. The doctor came and he told her to watch her and not to leave her sleep. She slept and she was taken by the fairies to the liss and an old, weak, delicate woman was left in her stead. Sometimes she used to come home to see the family and go away after ten minutes. Her husband did not know how he would have her home but she told him to meet her between half eleven and twelve o'clock that night and that they would on horseback and that she would be the last riding on a white horse and to cut a brier and to throw it before the horse and pull her off. So he went and just as he had the brier cut he heard the horsemen coming on. He threw the brier before the last horse and pulled her off. They looked back and saw the riderless horse. They turned back but they could not cross the brier. The woman lived for many years after but her husband watched her closley.

  17. Famine Times

    CBÉS 0511

    Leathanach 554

    In the olden days, in the time of the Famine many died around here. They died in the cabins, by the road side, in the fields and ditches and were buried for a while till those who were left were unable to do so. Then they were left where they died.
    A workhouse was set up about two miles from here at a place now called "Connery's Cross" near Ballylanders and the hundreds of people died. Then meal houses were set up here and there, one about a quarter of a mile from here in Ballingarry - where Gubbins live on and from there a lb: of yellow meal per head per week was distributed and it was said it was of such poor quality that "it would not thicken the water."
    Up to that time there were no roads to approach this place from the Garryspillane direction. The "Morning Star" was forded at "Aughavoona" (Ford of Una) and the bed of the river - called the Port (?) was the right of way. The animals walked the bed of the river while the owners walked along the bank.

    And but for the speed of their horses we'd rock them to sleep.
    The Bennett mentioned was Bennett of Gleneffy near Galbally and Franks was the late Thomas Franks of Ballyscadane, father to Major Gen, Sir George McKenzie Franks. Both were J.P's and sat on the bench at Galbally, Hospital and Kilfinane Petty Sessions Courts.
    I was often told the above by the late Jim Coleman of Ballylanders who pursued Franks and shot down a branch over his head as he escaped in his own avenue at Ballyscadane near the Cross of the Tree, on the road to Knocklong.
