  1. There is a bone setter in the parish named Willam Bolger. He lives in Glennaskough. He is able to mend any broken or put any bones that are out of place that are out of place back again. His father was also a bone setter. He charges a little to fix bones. His son Paddy is also a bone setter but is not as good as his father.
