- About eighty years ago a man named John Stevenson lived in Garryharry.
He was a great mower and he used to go out to the field in the morning about half-seven and he would mow till nine o'clock at night, stopping only to take his dinner and his tea. And when he would be finished mowing at night he would have about two acres, three roods and fifteen perches mown.
This man went to America and he died in it.
