- (continued from previous page)Another man named Jack Hearn came to our village looking for lodgings. The people called him Wild Jack. After a short time he built a small house in Ballinaclough bog. He was a sailor and travelled on sea for twenty-years. He had no religon. He never went but a day of Confirmation to the church to listen to the Bishop He died at Campbell house in Killaghton attend by Father Galvan at the hour of his death. He was buried in Killaghton cemetery. Some years before he died he was very kind to the poor. If he had only sixpence he would give it beggar man if he thought he was poorer than himself.
