A woman named O'Connor lived in Ballindaggin long ago in a little hut in the corner of the new grave yard in Ballindaggin village.  Of course it was not a grave-yard then.  She died and is buried in the very spot where she was born.  Her grave can be seen to day.  The O'Connor girl was married three times and she was a widow three times.  She was married first to Clinch then to Redmond and lastly to Murphy when she died the place she was born in was the new grave yard in the village.
