  1. There once was a woman named Mrs. Kelly living in Raherolosh. She was very old and she had a cure for broken bones. One day a little boy and his father can to her and the little boy fell down from a big tree where he was searching for a birds nest. He had his foot and arm broken. There were no doctors at that time so this woman fixed the boys hand and foot in a few months. Everybody was surprised when they heard about her and she showed and taught her grand-children the cure. The people were very lonely and sorry when she died.
