- Once upon a time a woman was coming home from town about twelve o'clock at night and her name was Agnes Ryan and she was about thirty two years of age about that time.
As she came to a turn on the road near Drummond, the pony stopped and she heard the noise of horses hoofs.
The pony would not go and she had to get off the car and she lead the pony a long way.
When the pony came to the next turn it got another fright and he turned up an old lane and she had to get off the car again. The woman got home at one o'clock and she told it to many people. She said it was a ghostly funeral.(continues on next page)
