- There are two local graveyards here. One is Ballintemple, and the other is Kilpatrick. Most of the people around here are buried in either of them. Kilpatrick is the oldest one. It has a great many tombstones. It is not a very big one. There is a stone wall around it. There are a couple of yew trees growing in it. It is very clean, and well kept. There is an old church there with only the walls standing. People come to be buried in Kilpatrick from Australia.
The church in Ballintemple was taken down, and built in Dundrum. There are a great many stories connected with it. This is a true one
Once a brother did not like his brother going to meet someone. He dressed himself with a sheet and hid inside the graveyard wall, as his brother was passing. Then he jumped up, and his brother dropped dead with the fright.(continues on next page)
