- There is an old ruin about a quarter of a mile from our house in Pat Walsh's farm. A man named Patrick Walsh lived there about eighteen years ago.
He was a tailor by trade.
He was related to all of the Walshs of the locality.
He had one sister who emigrated to America. The people of the neighbourhood called him "Patrick Louis" because Louis Walsh was his father's name.
He was an unmarried man and he lived all alone by himself.
He had a small garden which was called "the tailors garden"
He died almost suddenly.

A woman who was nicknamed "Kit Jer" lived there many years ago. Her right name was Mrs Katherine Mc Carthy. She was a nurse. She had five children(continues on next page)
