  1. Any Place where a Hound, or a Woman, or a Funeral was Seen

    Share Share Post
    One night long ago when my grandfather and my grandmother were returning home from my great-grandmother's house they heard great talk and traffic on the road behind them. A saddle-horse they had at the time and when they heard all the traffic they quickened their speed.
    They had just turned up the borheen when a funeral passed.
    My great-grandmother who was sick at the time died next day.
    When they saw the funeral they knew that somebody was dying.
    The funeral was mostly composed of people walking.
