A good man 25:11:37
A good many years ago there lived a food brawny strong man named John Cuniham in the townland of Islandmore.Four miles away he was known as a strong wicked man.Once there was a meeting in Tulla and he attended it.
Before the meeting some of the people were trying to lift 1/2cwt over a six foot high wall ,but the all failed.So this man came on the scene ,and asked them to give him a chance. He handled it and did it ,four times one after the other.There was not a man in Tulla able to do it .He did many other action besides.
My father told me this.
