“About twenty years ago there was a great snowstorm.”
About twenty years ago there was a great snow storm. It was as high as the ditches. It lasted about ten days. Then it froze and made the snow so hard (hard) that the people used to go to mass by walking on top of it.Her father told her about "the night of the big wind". This great storm was the "twelvth night". in the year 1839. It knocked all the stacks of oats in the village (Boleyboy)> They were all blown into two fields between Fallagherin and Parke. No one could identify his own. Each gated a certain amount, but all the oats was scattered in the fields. It was from the west this great wind blew.
