  2. A Local Heroes

    Share Share Post
    There was a man living in the village of Wilkinstown whose name was Duignan. He could lift the heaviest articles without any trouble.
    One day he was coming home with a "float" full of sheep and when he was coming near his house the wheel came out. He was so strong that he supported the "float" himself. He also could lift up a stone a few hundred weight and throw it a good distance.
