  1. An Old Traveller

    Share Share Post
    Around this district there is an old woman that comes around begging alms right name is Mary Kearney and she got that old nick name because her father was Micky and her grandfather was Johnnie. She was born in Corronmór and she stays with her friends in Killtyclgher. This old woman always carrys a basket and comes around gathering eggs and bottles. She sells needles and combs.
