    Strong men. John McDermot,
    Drumcoobrady,
    Tydavnet,
    Co. Monaghan.
    One day he was at the building of Knockatallon Chapel. The stone cutters had a big stone and they wanted it lifted into the cart. Two men had it on a hand-barrow. They tried to lift it into the cart, but could not do so. This man came and lifted it up on his knee and lifted it into the cart.
