Mrs Hurley (Mr Dan Hurley's wife) told me her husband commenced to mow the field at 6 o'clock in the morning, and when he had finished the 2 acres that evening, he said he felt as supple as he ever did in his life.

His son Mr Timothy Hurley now lives in Carlow and is a noted athlete; he has won several medals and valuable prizes for running.
