“In the County Armagh in the townland of Mountpleasant a family lived...”
In the County Armagh in the townland of Mountpleasant a family lived. There was a house and they would set the table in the Parlour. One time Auntie Evelyn Mrs Hall by name was in is there was a big stone left at her feet. One time the woman was in bed and they were all upstairs and the clothes all rolled off her. Albert Edgar Mountpleasant was going to put them up on her and he was nearly killed.
A bad family lived there before and this is supposed to be the cause of it.
