  2. An old man named Pat Farrelly, William St. Bailieboro who died about ten years aged ninety two, remembered the night of the "Big Wind". He was a very small child then, but he remembered being taken out of the house wrapped in a shawl, and spending the night under a hedge with the rest of his family.
