  1. (continued from previous page)
    hidden treasure under the largest rock of them. He also dreamt that if he dug for it that he would find it but he would become insane.
    Strange to say as my grandfather was sitting at the fire and telling this tale a neighbour came in and had the same story to relate, that he dreamt that there was a treasure in the same field and rock. My father often showed me this rock. My grandfather never dug for this treasure.
