- (continued from previous page)the grave with the letters U. N. carved on it which means Uaigh na Naoínean. Nowadays unbaptised children are nearly always brought to the graveyard, but there is not special place for burying them.
The graves around here are kept very untidily. They are covered over with grass and weeds and are a disgrace to the people. Lately Father Gilden and Canon Higgins have ordered the people to clean the graves and this is done by nearly most of the people around her. There was a procession to the graveyards of Midfield and Swinford last year and there will be another procession next Sunday. At the graveyard the Rosary and the litany of the B.V.M are recited for the dead.
