    under Bishop Erc. It is said a light is seen before any of the Corridons die. A Caoine is also heard in the district if any one of them die whether it be at home or in far off Australia or America. It is also rembered if one of them dies, two others of the Corridon family are buried there with the same year.
    There are very few crosses or monuments. The dead are buried in tombs and graves over which crosses are erected as a token of respect, by the friends of the deceased.
