There is a Clifferna church in Larah -- also a Larah church. My family lives there and I never know which one I'm in! Clifferna is dank, smelly and old. There is a graveyard across the street from it I think. I told someone I have a picture of it -- but can't find it -- I'll post it when I do find it. The new Larah church was put up in the 1970-80s. Very modern -- I think round -- seems like they make me spend more time in them kneeling than standing outside looking Close by is an old graveyard -- lots of marble -- I think late 1880s-1920s -- I tried as hard as I might to tolerate the murderous barbed weeds in there but I was bleeding profusely and itching like crazy -- plus soaking wet. I mean the grass was over my head. Small area 20x20 square? My cousin says that it has been cleared out -- 2 years ago. Then theres the other church that's near a a big graveyard to the Carrickallen or Stradone Church -- I'm telling you its difficult to get them straight -- all near each other and I go over enough that I never give it much thought to names until its too late. The area is beautiful and lushly green. Most are farmers of Dairy -- then prices went too low about 8 years ago and switched to eating cows (sorry I'm vegatarian and don't know the proper names) -- Steer? They sent the milk to be made into cheese. Mad Cow hit and really bad for the farmers. I know my cousin has a very few just for their milk (more like a hobby). My other cousin sold the farm and moved to Baliebourough -- he's young 40s. Let me know how I can answer your questions better.
