    About a century and a half ago there was a great school at Lawler's Cross, Camross. This school was a Protestant one but some of the Catholic's were allowed to have a night school there. A man named Humphrey teached there.
    Another great school was at Ryan's Cross; this school was there about eighty years ago and a teacher named Bob Standon taught the pupils there. Every child brought its own stool when starting and those were left in the school all the time.
    There was another school in the Modubeg where Mr. Whitty's house now stands and Miss Kelly taught there before she came to this school (Caroreigh which was built at that time.)
