   a brother of Owen McKenna Drumfurrer was coming from the chapel with Owney Faravore It was a very hot day. When they came to the "New Bridge" they went into the river to bathe. They began to sink. When their bodies were found they were dead. In the morning three days after they were found they were taken to the chapel to be buried.

Written by Kathleen McKenna Bragan 20.7.38 Heard from Mick Treanor Bragan aged 74
