    An old lady of gentle birth kept a school in Curraghoo. She had a lame sparrow and a gold hairpin. Every day during school hours the sparrow flew away with hairpin, returning when school was finished.
    Nothing was known of her but friends came and took her away in carriage and pair.

    Roche, known as Bimbledy Roche, was a hedge school master round Ballyclough and Manning.
    Owen Meehan (Poor Scholar) went to school to Master Courtney during the day, and taught the children round Curraghoo in Burke's house in the evening. His pay was his lodgings. After a time he joined the English army and served in the Crimean War. He was a great Irish scholar.
