  1. There was a bad storm about forty years ago.
    It was in the month of January we had it.
    Alot of houses were felled to the ground.
    The roads were blockaded with trees so that the people were unable to travel.
    There was a man living near Glenville and his name was Simon Hegarty and one of his out-houses fell and it killed fifteen cattle on him. There were three boats going from Ireland of over to England with a thousand people in it and they were drowned.
