    A Great Storm
    There was a great storm in the year of 1839. It was so rough that it dug stones out of hills and those stones skilled sheep on Tom Ceriffill Currawn Mohill. When it was beginning it tossed off the chimney of Patrick Guchians Annaghderg Mohill and killed two of his children.It swept a mound of earth out of adoon lake and it stands now as a hill.
