   It is considerably over 100 years since he taught there. It is said that he lived at Tinkers Cross about a mile from Ballingarry. He taught through Irish.
   Another teacher named John Murphy taught at the old school in the Ramhorn Line.
   He taught the father of the present John Ahern of Ballynoe.
   John Moore taught in Pound Lane Ballingarry and lived in the Sharr where Mrs Browne now lives. He had one very bright scholar who became a priest aterwards. His name was Father Boyce and he went on foreign mission.
   Thomas Dalton taught near Lee's Cross Ballynoe. One of his pupils was the late James Noonan who died about 25 years ago and was then over 90. He taught principally through Irish, but also taught English reading.
   He taught in his own house.
   Mr Cronin taught for some time near a cross road at Lissamota a mile and a half east of Ballingarry. The cross was then called Tim Dwan's Cross. Cronin taught in his own house and the foundations of the house are there yet.
   I have not heard of anyone who was there at school.
