“There was an old school in Killeagh in the year 1857.”
There was an old school in Killeagh in the year 1857. It was held by an old man named Ned Butler. this man was a native of Killeagh. This school was divided into two portions one for the master and the other portion was used as a classroom. Mr Butler received one pound or less every week which amounted to fifty pounds per annum. Those pupils were boys of sixteen years some were barefooted, but did not mind at that time when they got the opportunity of learning some useful task. Those pupils wrote with quill pen and with chalks. No desks were there at that time they used tables for working and chairs and furroms they sat on. Some descendants of those pupils are still living around this district.- Collector
