   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Years ago there was an ould man by the name of Murphy Waking in a barn at his own home. At that time all the wakes were held in barns. That is seventy or eighty years ago. Well, this was a very bad night. There was snow about six inches thick on the ground.
   After the midnight Rosary all the relatives of the dead man went into the house and there was no one left in the barn but a few young men from the neighborhood. Those chaps played tricks and told yarns for a long time, as then they got tired and decided they'd go home. They did mind a damn if the corpse were left alone or not.
   Anyways wan [?] Goy, said they'd take the ould man off the table. They walked him out through the snows, and left him outside
