In Williamstown, Co. Galway there was a man named James Ryan and one day he went to the fair of Dunmore, Co, Galway and on his way home he fell asleep and the great snow came and it smothered him and he was found dead when the snow melted. The snow that year was level with the ditches and that was the year eighteen hundred and eighty.Lightening came about fifty years ago and it killed a man in Rathlena ,Co.Roscommon .
