    Of course said he people used to say that, but I heard for a fact says he that it was the protestant family who lived in the big house, that killed the catholics, if they suspected them of doing any wrong and these are the bones which are in the sand hill. That big house was owned by a Catholic up some hundred years ago. But sure Catholics had no living in those days.
