  1. Local Heroes

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man named William Mahon of Drumsna who was a great hero. He was a great swimmer and diver and could stay for a long time under the water.
    Also he was a first-class tradesman, a slater, a carpenter, and a plumber. He was a first-class musician, dancer, and story-teller. He was also a great mower. He was smart in every way. He is dead many years ago and was only a week sick when he died.
