  2. Snowfall

    Share Share Post
    In the month of February 1891 we had a terrible blizzard in Ireland. Snow fell on some places in Kerry to four feet, it even came in through the hey holse of the doors. The fields and ditches were one level.

    Harry Walsh a man that was living near Abby Dorney was smutered in the snow and died.
