    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was a hedge school in Kerryhead. Held in a field which Tom Roche in Dreenagh owns now. A good many boys and girls went to that school.
    The master was Master O'Connor. The subjects that he was teaching them was how to read an write. He was paid for his work. He got money from every man who had a child going to him.
