    (continued from previous page)
    The snow storm of 1917 was the worst in living memory. The snow was level with the roofs of the houses at one side in Ballybray and we were very bady off for food & water.
    fortunately it was rather low at one side & we made a passage out but it was very hard to get to Ballyhale
