  1. There was an old school in Pat Connolly's field in the townland of Bloomfield, Riverstown, Co. Sligo, where Reynolds' old house is now.
    There were two teachers in the school named Master Lee and Master White. There was no Irish or Arithmetic taught. The school was built in 1840. The people had to pay sixpence a week. They wrote on slate.
