8 Stories
About sixty years ago a protestant farmer named Algeo lived near Bunlin Bridge bout a mile and a half west of Milford on the Milford-Barrigart road. For cutting some trees in his own farm without the permission of the landlord - the murdered Earl of Leitrim - he was evicted from his house and farm. Willie Boyle has built a two storey house on the site of Algeo's house and his farm was divided among the neighboring farmers. James O' Donnell has a few acres on he south side of the Golan road. Moses Gamble has the west side along the hill and Charles Graham has the rest. On the part of Algeo's farm given to Moses Gamble sits Algeo's Well.
The well is not as frequented now as it was forty or fifty years ago. The "Scallen" where mass was said before Golan Chapel was built is beside this well. (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 1087, Page 025)
