- (continued from previous page)was coming home from a neighbour's house when he saw all the people around the church. He asked them what they were doing and they told him they were looking for the well. He asked an old lady about it and she told him that she remembered getting water in it, and she showed him where it was. The people pulled away the briars that covered it but there was no water in it. There was a stone axe in it. A bottle of holy water was poured in. The people went into a house nearby and when they came back the well was full of water. It is full of water still, and it cured the person's leg that found it.
