“A man names Mr Kerr who lived in Coolcor, told his men one day to go out and draw in the mangolds, but when they went out there was nothing left but the skins.”
A man named Mr Kerr who lived in Coolcar, told his men one day to go out and draw in the mangolds, but when they went out there was nothing left but the skins.
There is a story told about a man named Joe Malone who refused to give his corn to the landlord he was so hungry. But on account of this the landlord evicted him out of his house.
After this he was seen eating grass on the side of the road where he died in a few days. I also heard of another story about a man named Patrick Swords who put his turnips and mangolds safe in a barn, but when he went to look for them they were all rotton.
