  1. Bole's Bush

    Share Share Post
    One day a labourer was going home from Charleville. He had a new spade which he had bought in town. When he was going home a man leaped out from inside the ditch. The man took the spade from him and killed him.
    There is a big bush on the ditch and it is called Bole's Bush. Because one of the mens name was Bole's.
