- In the Townland of Grangeford and Parish of Rathoe there was a Hedge Schoolmaster named Mc' Assey. He used to teach in our house. He taught Latin and English, Reading, and Writing. He taught them on slates with chalks. Each one of the pupils paid him. He stayed with his brother in the house now occupied by Murphy's on the Tullow Road.
