In my Parish (Borrisokane) there are three Graveyards. There are two in Borrisokane namely the "Old Graveyard" and the "New Cemetery" there is one situated at Aglish (about three miles to the north side of Borrisokane) and this is called "Aglish Churchyard". Both the "Old Churchyard" at Borrisokane and the Aglish Churchyard are situated near Protestant Churches. There are no ruined churches in the vicinity of any of the Graveyards. In the Aglish Churchyard there are some very old tombstones and crosses some of them about two hundred years old, the majority of the monuments are tombstones. There is one derelict graveyard in my district and that is situated at Borrisokane Workhouse. The inhabitants of the Workhouse used to be buried there. Local people still go to certain graveyards though not in their Parish, they call this the "family burial ground". Unbaptised children used to be buried in forts.

Aglish church is called "Aglish blessed with a hundred years". A certain man came from Killarney one night. He owed a spite to a man not long buried in Aglish. He went there this night and took a hammer with him to break the headstone. The first stroke he made on the stone a lamb jumped out of the grave. The man got sorry and he went home. He told his parish priest what had happened. "O" said the parish priest "Aglish blessed" an up to this day it is called that name. Years after the protestant body wanted to make a gravel walk with round the church which is in the centre of the burial ground. They brought all their implements and on Saturday night there was a loud cry heard in the church. After mass the next Sunday the people gathered together and broke all that the protestants had built. On Monday the protestants came again to work there but the catholics beat them away and that ended the fight.

Cooperage is a trade that is extinct in this district now. It was a great trade before the creameries were built because the firkins were necessary to hold the butter when bringing it to market and tubs were necessary to hold the milk and churns were needed to churn the cream. All these vessels were made by the coopers and there were many such tradesmen in the district. In Portnahully there was a cooper named Foley his people left the district long ago but one of his sons resides in Ferrybank at present. In Aglish there was a cooper named Quane. The house that he used to be working in has disappeared but his son is still employed as a labourer in the district. This man inherits some of his father's skill and has knowledge in carpentry. The cooper in New Aglish was a man named Doody and the ruins of his work shop are still to be seen there. There are two families of Doodys still in the village.

Faction Fights
1. A faction fight took place at Molahiffe about eighty years ago. The Brosnans, Larkins, Allens and Corcoran fought against the Mac Gillacuddy, Mearas, Burkes, Dalys, Sullivans and Connors.
The Connors (liath) and the Larkins were cousins and were buried in the same graves in Aglish Churchyard. When Jack Larkin, a robber, died, the Connors tried to prevent the Larkins of burying him in any one of the graves, but the Larkins hunted them out of the graveyard and buried the corpse.
On their way home from Aglish the Larkins were attacked at Rockfield Cross by the Connor faction. Daithín Na bhFoithre (Dave Larkin, Firies) was struck on the head and badly wounded. Con Bacach Meara was the man who struck him. That stroke ended the fight at Rockfield Cross.
After this fight both parties made preparations to meet at Molahiffe Fair. This fair is held annually at Molahiffe. Seán Liath Connor, from Rath, Firies was the leader of the Connor faction. On the fair morning he had a barrel of whiskey on top of the "Rock" at Molahiffe. All his supporters got
