    Thomas Murry, Killmurry, Errigal
    About ninety or a hundred years ago, Thomas Murry native of Killymurry, Emyvale, Parish of Errigal. He was going along the road to Emyvale one winter night. The moon was shining bright. He stooped to tie his boot and he saw a halfcrown on the road at his foot. He lifted it. The road was suddenly covered with coins. He lifted as much as he could in his hand. He arose up to put the money in his pocket, and when he stooped down again, there was nothing on the road. The money he had lifted was quite good.
