The weather was ' •too .cold for
much visiting but ` Ike took me
out :to- Star City. to visit the
Srinyhies, . They came from the
•"Diggins" just .south and' east .of
-Dungannon.. Five 'brothers came
to the Star City area between'
1900 and 1910; :They. have 'made
quite' a contribution to that area,
Only two of thein' remai.ri.. They
were great -friends of Ikes when
he' was on the farni out;, of Star
City. '
The original, Snnyllies were
neighbors of the. Stothers : in, the
',early, years at the " Diggins." No:
doubt you have, heard, the story
of' the well being dug in • that
areaand somebody "salted"'
the'
well with coal oil. There 'wps'
