    (continued from previous page)
    At the time of the Gorte a man named Seán O Laogaire lived in Coosane. He was married. One day he and his wife were having their dinner.
    A man came in. He looked 'dying with hunger' He said he hadn't eaten food for several days - because he could not get it.
    Seán o Largaire rose from the table and left the hungry man sit down. He ate like a mad dog - and ate a "lot more that his 'nough"
    After dinner he immediately rose, having thanked them he went off. He was found dead half an hour afterwards about 3 miles from [?] Seán O Laogaire.
