  1. A Blessed Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a blessed well in Louisburg. People go to the well every June.They go walking to it and do penance for themselves or there friends. St. Patrick that blest the well. Some people were cured at it a few years ago. The diseases it cures are diseases of the skin. People drink some of the water and bring home some more. The well is near a graveyard. There are a good deal of people buried around the well.
