Séamus O Dwyer who lived in Shyan, Kilmihil long ago was a great strong man. He used to gather rags, and sell them to Mrs Gilbert in Kilrush. Once upon a time he went to Kilrush, and he got a sack of flour from a man in Kilrush, on a bet, that if he brought the flour from Kilrush to Kilmihil on his back he would give it to him for nothing. He allowed him two rests on the way. He brought the flour to Kilmihil, and only made one rest at Corraclare Bridge.

About twenty years ago there was a man working for the parish priest of Kilmihil named fo Father Hayes P.P. who died in 1930. This man's name was Tom Connors, one day Fr. Hayes sent him to Kilmihil on a message and gave him some money. When he reached Kilmihil he spent the money on drink and he came home drunk to the priest and he went into a cabin and slept there. The priest for him [interlined with carat: "and"] as he was a wicked priest he abused Tom and gave him two kicks. Tom arose and said to the priest that one of them would have to leave when they could not agree.

I am living in the townland of Leitrim and in the parish of Kilmihil. The Patron Saint of the parish is St. Michael. There is the ruin of an old church in Kilmihil called St. Michael's church. It was St. Senan who built it, because he had great devotion to Saint Michael. Up to a few years ago the people used do rounds at the graveyard, and some of them used kiss a stone which was standing in the old church, because it was a stone altar that was in the church and

Long ago there lived a man whose name was Tom O Connor. He was a poor man and he was very smart. One day he was walking along the road and he met two priests. Those two priests were, the parish-priest of Kilmihil and the curate of Kilmihil The curate gave him sixpence and he said, "God bless you". Then the parish priest gave him a shilling and he said "God Almighty bless you" Then the curate asked him, "what was the difference between, "God bless you and God Almighty

The patron Saint of my district is St. Michael. There is an old church in the graveyard of Kilmihil, from which the parish gets its name. The ruins of this old church are only now standing. This church was founded by St. Senan, the patron of West Clare. St. Senan had great faith in St. Michael, once he asked a request of him and it was granted to him. On this account he erected a Church in Kilmihil in thanksgiving.
There is also a Blessed Well in Kilmihil in honour of St. Michael. It was let to ruin with the past few years. But now Fr. O'Reilly has it renovated. He has a big statue of "Christ the King" and of

There are four graveyards in the Parish of Kilmihil. There is one in Kilmihil named St. Michael's Cemetery, one in Castlepark named the Cill ḃán, one in Leitrim named the Leitrim graveyard, and one in Shyan named the Cill ḃeag. All the graveyards are still used. The Kilmihil graveyard is very nice as Fr. O'Reilly, the present curate of Kilmihill got it repaired, and he got everyone to look after their own grave. He also took the flags off the graves and he put them standing up at end of the graves. The make of a grave is oblong, it is six feel long and four feet wide. Each coffin faces east and west. The foot of the coffin faces east, and the head faces west. a A vault is made of stones and mortar and it is roofed with concrete, or flags. When the people put a coffin into a vault they [crossed out: "opon"] open the door and they leave the coffin on the floor. The door is made of a flag with a ring. There are no trees around the graveyard in

She went and related her story to the Parish Priest and they

The name of (townland) I live in is Kilmihil and I live within a mile of the village. It is in the Barony of Clonderlaw.

Cahermurphy, Kilmihil, Ennis. The ruins of the old school still stand in an open space about half way up Cahermurphy hill and east of the road. This building was at one time a school-house of the old order. The scholars brought sods of turf each day to school. A new scholar brought two sods, one for the fire and one to sit on. The next day he brought one sod on which he sat while the sod remaining from the previous day was put on the fire. Slates and pieces of gravel were the means of writing and calculation.
