My great grandmother was a great story teller. Her name was Bridget Cusack. She lived in Ballincroona Knocklong Count Limerick. She lived to be one hundred years. She died on January the sixth 1936.She remembered the Black Famine of 1847 to see the people living on turnips and to see people scraping the earth looking for something to eat and dying by the roadside. She remembered the ambush in Kilclooney Woods and Peter Crowley who was shot in that ambush in 1867. She also remembered Jeremiah Howard and a company of men to shoot a policeman. They were afterwards called the Black Boys and they had to go to America.
