    After '98 I heard me father saying, that he often heard his father telling it, that they used often have to stay out on the double ditch all night, afraid of the robbers that were going around robbing and plundering. They were afraid to stop in the house. That was the time the money was buried around the country. A lot of people used hide it in the chimneys. Roches of Shanoule there was money found in the chimney there.

    Tom Kelly was a great strong man, a giant of a fellow.

    Tom Kelly was a great strong man, a giant of a fellow. He was coming from town with a load wan day and just at Camross the load broke the ass' back. He only got a piece of a stick and made a new back bone for the ass with it, and pulled ass load and all himself from Camross to Foulksmills. Wasn't that a quare ould pull for a man, about six miles of grouond, and was too hard set either to do it.
