  1. An old resident in the tow land of Dunmanus was noted for his strength. It is said he threw a stone yards and that the stone weighed 15 curts[?]. This man was known as Will Joe. Several men attempted to lift this stone but they failed. It is said that Will Joe was the strongest man in the district.
