  1. Strong Men

    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of strong men in this Parish. There was one very strong man living in this Parish and his name was Thomas Sammon.
    He lived in Middleline. One day he was coming home from the bog with a load of turf and the wheel got broken. He took off the wheel and put it up on the load and caught the axle and carried home the load.
