  2. A Priest-Hunter - Trumble

    Share Share Post
    A land-lord named Trumble lived in Dromahaire. One night he was drunk and he broke Fr. MacGovern's head-stone in two pieces, and it was joined in the morning and the connection is to be seen up to the present day.
    Any person with any sore who brings the clay from the grave before sunset and returns it again before sunset will be cured.
