- (continued from previous page)another old aged pensioner, and he and his wife live together in a house that they have rented from a woman named Mrs Mary Ann Donaghey. He is a great dancer, and takes great delight in music, or any amusements of that kind. He also lives in Ballymagan, and he too is a great story teller.
There is another old aged pensioner and her name is Mrs Annie Donaghey called locally (Annie Freel). She was married three times and her husbands are all dead now. She was in America when she was young, and when she arrived home again her parents had (had) a great party for her.
The guests were talking about her riches; she entered into the conversation and said "a hundred pounds aint much". This remark was handed down by the people since these words have been frequently used.
My grand father - Daniel Lynch is an other old pensioner, and he lives with my grandmother and my Aunt in Ballyannon - in Desertegney near Buncrana.(continues on next page)
