    Walshe and Tom Daughton, the latter a post man in Lixnaw.
    The night they went to dig for the gold they saw all kinds of ghosts and wild bulls but they had their minds made up that they wouldnt surrender. So they found a fine pot of Gold Sovereings. Johnny Walshe bought the monument farm with the money from the Behans. The coffin was broken up some years ago by the White boys as they wanted the lead lining.
