- Once there were three houses where Myre Hill now stands. The people in these three houses were very rich. Once their crops failed and at the time they had to pay the rent and rates they were poor and they were not able to pay. Their houses fell in. There is a hill now where the houses were and these people are still going around from place to place. Their names were Myers.
