- (continued from previous page)There was also a mill in Beaumond. This mill was worked by the Nanny (River) the same way as the Duleek Mill. It was owned by people by the name of McCann's. The fame of McCann' oaten meal spread all over the world. This mill was burned, and when it was built again it was all fire-proof. the lofts were even made of slate. There was hardly anything in it that would burn. It is only about 30 or 40 years ago that this mill stopped working.
- Beaumond MillOne year it won the gold medal in Philadelphia U.S.A for the best oatmeal, which was milled by Michael Pentony of Beaumond, and ground by Mr Marry of Slane.
