    There is no graveyard in this parish of Feenagh, but there is in Kilmeedy, Drumcollogher and Ballingarry. In the graveyard in Ballingarry, there grows a big ash tree no birds ever go near it or ever since it grew there was never a leaf seen on it. The foundation of that story was. Once upon a time there lived a widow who had an only son, who grew up to be a very bold boy. She could never chastise him. She told her story one day to a man who told her to bring her son to him and he would chastise him. The woman brought her son to him. The man took him into a room by himself and when the woman saw him again, he was dead. The man had him hung in the room.
