  1. Hedge Schools
    There was a school long ago where the forge is now, and the master used to live where Sheridans are now. The Masters name was Cumiskty. He was paid by the children bringing a penny every Monday or a basket of eggs or a sod of turf. He was a native of here. There was Geography taught and poems. They only had one book and they used write on slates.
