    Biddy Early was in the fairies.

    Biddy Early was in the fairies. She lived in a mud cabin on the road side between Feakle and Limerick. She was able to cure sick people. The priest of her parish said he would curse any person that he would curse any persons that would speak to her. She was married, and one evening her husband was coming u from a public house. There was a big cliff near the house and he jumped down our the top of the cliff and was not injured. They say it was Biddy Early that saved him.
