  1. Story of '98

    Share Share Post
    Nicholas Ryan fought in the Battle of New ROss in '98. He was a native of Mullinderry and is buried in Owenduff.
    At the time of the famous battle at Ross this boy had reached his eighteenth year and was six feet high in his stockinged feet. The part he took in the battle was loading the guns for his comrades.
