    Cures
    Long ago in Cruit there was an old woman whose name was Kate Gallagher.
    This woman had a cancer on her foot.
    At this time doctors had not many remedies for diseases of this sort and so she could not be cured.
    She was a very holy woman and having great hopes of being cured, she went into Cruit grave yard tl make the stations.
    After praying very ferventily as she was on her way home she felt a sharp pain in her foot and on looking down she the cancer lying on the ground.
