   Mrs Bridget Lyons, Main St., Croom 70, tailor's widow, gave me the following:-

   When Lord Carbery lived in Caherass Court he kept a parson there. This minister fell in love with Lord Carbery's daughter. He was not successful in his love affair and he committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in the grounds of the Court. Lord Carbery had the tree cut down and every morning he used to take a walk before breakfast and sit on the stump of the tree until breakfast.
