- When Mrs Doran was a child of six years her great grannie and grandmother who lived in Bridge Lane in Hacketstown were saying the Rosary before going to bed. In a room also were two aunts and two uncles. Her great grannie was sitting up in her bed opposite her was a mirror. She saw an old woman a friend she knew well on looking at the mirror. She was not frightened but said to all at the rosary, "Offer all your prayers this night for Mrs Smee, she has looked at me" and she wants your prayers to shorten her time in Purgatory. RIP
