- Mr Harmon was the name of the landlord who ruled in Drung in the nineteenth century. He was a hateful type of man as he neglected his duties and drew very heavy rents.
After the famine of the 'forties he evicted many tenants who were unable to pay their rents. Harman's descendants ruled in Drung until 1912 when they sold their lands and left the country.
