Carrowkeel
The house that I live in which is situated in the townland of Carrowkeel in the parish of Kilbegnet in the county Roscommon and in the barony of Ballymoe was a school over a hundred years ago.
My great grand-father and my great-grand-mother namely Mr. Henry Hinde and Mrs. Ann Hinde, Carrowkeel, Cregg's Roscommon were well educated people and they set up a school of their own to teach the children round about. The children had to pay a few coppers a week to be taught. Most of the writing was done with slate and pencil or with quill pens. The children were taught a line of English and a line of Irish to rhyme. There was a house built next to the school and the HIndes lived in the house and taught in the school. It was called "Carrowkeel school". The Hindes were farmers.(continues on next page)
