  1. Landlords in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    There were three landlords in this district namely, Nolan Farrell, More O Farrell and Captain Boycott.
    The last one in this district was Nolan Farrell. The people like him very much. It was he who got Logboy chapel built.
    He had a special day appointed in every month when Mrs. Nolan Farrell would go out in a certain hill and raise a flag of distress.
    All the poor people would come there and be given money and clothes.
    She used to give tea to the very poor in a tea house she had built.
