    (continued from previous page)
    Some few days after the interment the coffin was found exposed and open. Again it was interred and with similar results
    Mr Lyons then had it buried a short distance from the old graveyard. There it still lies, but a noticeable thing about it is that while the land all around is almost bare and sandy, the grave is covered with a luxuriant crop of nettles.
    The story of Tallabane Monastery and Graveyard I got from Mr Patk. McDonnell Long St., Louisburgh.
    The story of Frederick Twiggs, I heard from Mr Redmond Lyons, House Assistance Officer, Furmoyle, Louisburgh.
