- Harry Dolan was an old man who lived around here many years ago and he lived at a cross-roads. He was not confirmed till he was forty years of age.
When he was getting confirmation the question he was asked by the bishop was "Who died on the cross." The answer Harry gave was, "I lived for forty years on the cross and I have never heard of anyone dying on it."
