The Black - and Tan time..
When the Black and Tans were raiding and robbing in Glandree ,they came here on one fair-day of Tulla.There was one man from Glandree named John Mc Grath at the fair that day.He sold his cattle early in the morning and was so glad of the price he got that he came home rather early. In the evening he went to see the cows .The Black and Tan army was going along the road about a quarter of a mile away .The man saw the him they fired shots and shot him dead.No grass ever since grew on the side of he ditch or onthe ground where he died.
