    People in former times never wore boots until they were twenty five or thirty years of age.
    John O'Sullivan who resides at ... (?) St, Kilmallock, never wore boots until he was about twenty four years of age. The children in my district go barefoot during the summer months.

    Kilmallock derives its name from the church erected by St. Mocheallog in the seventh century, the remains of which are still to be found on the hill some five hundred yards north of the present town. This ecclesiastical foundation continued to flourish till the eleventh century at least, as the deaths of members of the community are recorded in the “Annals of the Four Masters” under the years 1028 and 1050. Kilmallock does not seem to have been of any importance till the Geraldines got possession of it and laid the foundations of its future eminence. The place seems to have been overshadowed by Bruree, the seat of sovereignty of the district from the days of Olioll Ollum. Kilmallock is very very seldom, if at all mentioned in connection with

    The Dominican Abbey of Kilmallock was founded by Gilbert the second son of John of Callan, grandson of Maurice Fitzgearald the Norman invader. The work was completed by Maurice, son of Gilbert. Maurice was the first to bear the title of White Knight. The Title was bestowed by Edward III after the battle of Hallidan Hill at which Maurice Fitzgerald showed great bravery in routing the Scots. King Edward himself bound up Maurice's wounds with a white scarf and a black ribbon, and ever after the White Knight wore a White and Black cross as their field colours. Maurice entered the Monastery in Kilmallock and died in Youghal Monastery in 1357. He was buried in Kilmallock in a tomb erected by his own hands for his wife.

    Local Roads
    I live in Tankardstown in the parish of Kilmallock and in the County of Limerick.
    A road passes my house. This road begins at the Catholic Church Kilmallock. About two hundred yards north of the Church on the Tankardstown road lies a very ancient old bridge.
    In olden days Kilmallock was surrounded by walls and at this bridge was a gate that led into the town of Kilmallock.
    Before ever bridges were made the people in the olden days had a very poor accomodation for crossing rivers. The only means by which they could get across was on stepping stones

    spans the Lubac, and leads from Kilmallock from towards this parish of Bulgaden) pierced with several gun-shot wounds; but no one could recognize who he was or from whence he came. He was respectably dressed and had a gentlemanly appearance. His identity has ever remained a mystery.
    One local solution of his identity was that he was one Paddy Hassett only brother to late Mr. Tom Meade of Bulgaden Cross who went to "the rising" and never returned whose name does not appear on the stone cross in Kilmallock. Old Fenians denied this, and their children maintain that Paddy Hassett came half-way home suffering from a broken skull, died by "quarry-hill"(1/2 ) from Kilmallock) is buried in our local graveyard Kilmartin.
    Another solution is this. Old natives assert that the man wore a (dress) coat inside, which was unusual in this district, but which was worn in the Co. Clare by farmers, that is a "bawneen". That showed he was not a native of the surroundings here. Over 20 yrs ago in the Co. Clare I heard an old

Who came at the head of a long force but the shoemaker and in his travells came to Kilmallock. He met the Lord Mayor at the gates and demanded the keys of the town. They refused to submit and in the meantime the Lord Mayor said "I saw you before and you promised to do a turn for me. I request you not to do any damage to this town. "I am Oliver Cromwell said the shoemaker and if you give me food for my men and horses for to-night I will go away in the morning. They left the following morning.

    With the forming of the Fenian movement the young men of Ballylanders and Anglesborough threw themselves into the movement heart and soul. The Rising came and they prepared to strike a blow for their freedom if possible. Kilmallock was their objective. There was a wedding in Ballylanders that day. Billy Walsh's sister was married to one Moloney. During the night the boys stole the horses from the wedding house to take them to Kilmallock. When they reached Ballylanders only Wm O Neill a Painter, Will Lahive a tailor, and Ml Dalton a School Teacher, volunteered to go with them. They persuaded Dalton to stay at home owing to his position. Billy Lundon a personal friend & cousin of Dalton's acted a brave man in Kilmallock that day.

    At Mount Coote gate, Kilmallock, (Co. Limerick) a big fierce looking black dog is often seen. He appears suddenly as if he came out the sky. One time this same dog was the cause of killing a fine horse. A cousin of mine was working there at the time and one evening he was returning from the town of Kilmallock with a splendid fine horse and car. Just as entered the drive this big fierce looking dog jumped up on the axle of the car. The horse stood up suddenly and when my cousin got him going again he was only just able to pull the car although it was empty. When the horse got into the stable he was one coat of foam and sweat. He lay down in the stable and in spite of all they could do he died during the night.
