    I knew an old man named Pat Malone...

    I knew an old man named Pat Molone, who lived in Ballydonakane. His son, an O.A.P., 74 years is still alive. He told me that he often carried bales of frieze up through the midlands and on one occasion he went to Armagh. He told me how awfully hard they had to make a living on the land which is mountain land. Yet he succeeded and had plenty of money in bank when he died.
