- (continued from previous page)my son in law. They returned back to the mansion and appointed a day for the marriage. They got married and after a short time he visited his own home and told his mother what had happened, and she was overjoyed to hear the news, so he took his mother back to this big mansion and told them that she was his old nurse. They all lived happy after that.
- There were two men living in Derrymore one time, and they were two friends. So one of the men died. He was about three months dead, and the live man was coming home from the well with a bucket of water, at about seven o’clock. When he came to the corner, the dead man appeared and he shook hands with his friend. The dead man had red clothes on him. The live man said three Hail Marys and while he was saying it, the man disappeared.
