- (continued from previous page)other graveyards not so many. The oldest stone in Mullandoy is dated the nineteenth of January seventeen and forty seven. There are two Maltese crosses in Mullandoy and one celtic cross. They are made of iron. The other stones are just rough field stones and the people wrote on them themselves. The people are buried all over the place. They do not bury people in Mullandoy now. The last buried in it was a new born baby belonging to Mr. John McGuinn. It is six years ago. In nineteen and twenty six it was decided that no more people were to be buried in Mullandoy. At that time Mrs Hanratty of Drumakill was buried in it and she always said that she was a descendant of Saint Maeldoid who built the Church. People of all religious denominations were buried in Mullandoy long ago but in recent years only Roman Catholics were buried in it.
