    in the shop but alas no shop any more for Mary or Ned McGuinness
    Mary lived for about a year when death released her from the troubles of this world and left Ned McGuinness a single man again. Ned did not worry any more but he only survived his fourth wife by one year until he followed his four partners and he will walk to the valley of Josiphart after Gabriel's trumpet sounds with Rose, Jane Anne and Mary by his side.
    The only reminder of this strange man is a meadow that is still called McGuinness meadow.
