- About fifty years ago there lived in Latully a family of Boylans. There was one of them named Ann who from a fall off a bicycle was not right in the head. One morning when they were getting up Ann was missing. There was a little river that was flowing by their house which kept a flaxhole full every day.
Patrick Cooke who lived in a distance of a quarter of a mile from them heard the news. He looked down about this flaxhole and there he got her lying on the broad of her back dead in it. There was no inquest held. - Collector
