- One night as John Nolan was standing at his own gate he looked down the road, he saw a funeral coming up the road and there were four men carring the bearer , and one man riding a horse in front.
When the man riding the horse, came up, he was about three perches in front of the man with the bearer, he told John Nolan to go in, he went in, and stood at the window, and looked out, there did two hundred people pass, walking and he never saw them again.
