    tells this story.
    Teresa O Leary heard this story from her father about Biddy Early's bottle.
    When Biddy Early was living a priest heard about the bottle she had. The priest lived near Biddy and went to her and asked for the bottle, but she would not give him the bottle. He tried to take if off her, but he could not.
    When Biddy died her cousin wanted to get the bottle, but the priest took the bottle and threw it into a lake near by Biddy Early's house.
