- Mr. Fred Russel was the local Landlord here. He was born and reared in a big house in Lissanode in the Parish of Drumraney. He owned all Tang and part of Drumraney. His father and grandfather lived there before him but I do not know when the family came to this district first. They were looked upon as very bad Landlords. His sone is living still and he owned Lissanode House up to a month ago when he sold it.
