- There was a woman named Alice Reilly living in Croc Rua, parish of Castlepollard and County Westmeath.
She used to walk to the town of Cavan - a distance of twenty four miles - for tobacco. She used to knit a sock going and coming home.
She kept a little shop in Croc Rua and she used to sell the tobacco. She used to go one day and come home the next night.
