    Puck Farrell Cuilmore carried 1/2 ton of sand for a bet. He could bend a crowbar across his knees. He stood about six foot high. The 1/2 ton of sand was placed in a sack. The sack was made from tow-flax and woven by the local weavers. He died about 4 years ago. He was aged about 90 years. He could break two horseshoes with ease.
