Pat Hannan, Ballylanders told me the following about schools and teachers.
At William Dwyer's house in Fahansoodra in the parish of Ballylanders there was a "poor scholar" called Donovan who taught the children of the house only. He was fed and kept in the house and got about a pound a month wages.
Another travelling scholar was called Gallaher. He went from house to house teaching. Barrets a house in Cullane Ballylanders was one of the houses in which he taught. Gallaher lived to be 90 years and when the first National School was opened in Ballylanders -- where O'Neills now live -- Gallaher taught there for some time.
There was a Protestant schoolhouse also in Ballylanders at the east end of the village -- where P. Cleary Smith now lives. A Protestant teacher Anthony Bishop taught there. There were several Protestant families in the neighborhood at that time -- the Powells -- Carneys -- [?] -- and O'Neills.
A quilter - Mrs. Hefferman -- lived in Ballyfruta about a mile from Ballylanders. She was great at quilting red-flannel quilts lined underneath with pure white flannel and all hand quilted together.
A famous butter-maker called Nell Doyle lived in
