“On our farm there is a park called Jimmy's Park because a man named James Costello lived there.”
(continued from previous page)is a big tree growing and nobody ever cuts even a branch off that tree because a man cut a branch off it one day and that night he could not sleep because he heard crying outside the whole night. In the neighbourhood there is a stream called the two Baronies Drain because it separates the two Baronies Leitrim and Longford. The Longford chieftain whose name was Madden robbed and beat the Leitrim people and the Leitrim chieftain went to Dublin to seek aid from the English. When they came back they won the battle. The parish priest of Killimor Fr Madden is a descendent of the chieftains of Longford.
