    In the townland of Kilmore there was a hedge school some years ago. It was along the Kilmore Road in Mr James Carolan's field. The teacher's name was Brigid Reilly. The pupils' parents gave her lodgings in their turn. Lessons were taught indoors. The teachers had no salary, but the people gave her whatever they could.
    Both my grandfathers and the late Mr. Andrew McCabe attended that school.
    Mr Bernard Kiernan Burnia, Virginia, Co Cavan and Mr. Owen Fitzsimons Kilmore, Virginia, Co Cavan were my grandfathers.
    Mr Andrew McCabe Gallon, Virginia
